Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature – Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature of Engineering Thermoplastics

Mar 13 2008

The maximum continuous operating temperature can be measured in two categories (a) short time exposure (a few hours) and (b) continuous use over a period of 5000 / 20,000 hours. Our index compares material performance in category (b). after these periods there is a decrease in tensile strength compared to original value. As with all thermoplastics the maximum service temperature also depends on the duration and magnitude of mechanical stresses on the material in application.

Miniaturizing HPLC to the Size of a Shoebox

An interview with Dr. Luke Tolley, discussing the development of a liquid chromatograph that is the size of a shoebox and is bringing HPLC to the masses.

Handheld LIBS Analyzer - Vulcan Optimum+

Handheld LIBS Analyzer - Vulcan Optimum+

The Vulcan from Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science is one of the fastest metals analyzers with sturdy construction. Users just have to squeeze the trigger and a second later the result can be viewed. The Vulcan+ range makes use of the Laser Induced Breakdown (LIBS) technology; therefore the users need not concern themselves about X-rays.
