Measurement and control of compressed air systems
Many manufacturing processes require a constant supply of compressed air. The air may be used for many different reasons: for example, the actuation and control of pneumatic valves, cylinders and controllers.
That's good java: Nuclear magnetic resonance measures coffee quality
Coffee manufacturers frequently include robusta beans among their arabica beans, diluting taste. Chemistry researchers used NMR spectroscopy to measure robusta levels post brewing.
Borescope enhances temperature monitoring of furnaces
The instrument enables highly accurate and fully radiometric temperature measurement image data to be taken, stored and trended over the lifetime of a furnace.
New AZUR Airless pumps and packages
The paint pumps are engineered for effective operation under harsh and intensive conditions.
Low-cost PIG portable adjustable clear barriers and sneeze guards
These structures are ideal for use anywhere partitioning and dividing is needed to keep people separated for protection against germs and physical contact.
Microreactor simplifies chemical synthesis
A new microreactor design supports the safe and rapid conversion of Grignard reagents for chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
