Materials Characterization

This class describes equipment that provides generic techniques to characterize samples, materials or specimens. The defining characteristic is that these items of equipment could equally be applied to a portion of the sample or specimen as to the whole.

Computed Radiography – leader in veterinary diagnostics:  

•Images are generated with a cassette containing a flexible screen coated with a photo-stimulable phosphor.

•Light energy is absorbed by phosphor screen, which holds it as a latent image.

•Cassette is placed in scanner; image is digitized and sent to computer.

•Phosphor screen is automatically erased.

The InfraCal 2 TRANS-SP is recommended for measuring oil in water, TPH in soil or FOG in wastewater using the traditional EPA methods 413.2 and 418.1 or ASTM method D7066-04.  With over 3,500 oil and grease monitors in worldwide use today, InfraCal 2 analyzers, originally developed by Wilks, have become a standard for the petrochemical industry. These essential tools ensure that oil content levels are below the regulated limit in water, drill cuttings, and soil. The InfraCal 2 provides real-time results for all operators needing to monitor oil in water.

Kason Vibroscreen® circular vibratory screeners (also called separators and sieves) separate bulk solid materials from solids and slurries using multi-plane, inertial vibration that causes particles to pass through apertures in the screen or to travel across the screen surface in controlled pathways.

Typical applications include sifting, scalping, classifying, de-dusting and de-lumping of dry bulk solids, or dewatering of solids-laden slurries.
