Demystifying Thermal Fluid System Leakage And Flash And Fire Points
By Paratherm Corporation
Heat transfer oils are formulated to move fast and carry maximum heat at high temperatures, but the properties that will optimize these performance characteristics — low viscosity and high density — also complicate efforts to keep the fluids' molecules contained at operating temperatures. The very properties that make them good heat transfer media also make them prone to leakage.


A Guide To Bulk Bag Discharging
By Spiroflow Systems, Inc.
Many years of cooperation with large-volume users of bulk bags has resulted in the development of a comprehensive and ever expanding list of dischargers and transfer equipment to match your product and bag type. This article gives benefits of bulk bag discharging, benefits of working with Spiroflow, and lists our complete product range.

Technical Specifications: InTrac777e/779e (Single Flushing Chamber, Chemical Applications)
The InTrac777e retractable housings have been specifically designed for use with 12-mm electrodes and sensors for the measurement of pH/redox, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity in industrial processes. InTrac777e with a single flushing chamber is suitable for employment in the chemical industry. Special models (InTrac779e) are also available for InPro8100/InPro8200 turbidity sensors.

Case Study: Material Feeding Solution Is 'Crystal' Clear
Steuben, a division of Corning, both of Corning, NY, manufactures fine lead crystal products. For the past 15 years, the various dry ingredients used to make the lead crystal were weighed, mixed, and batched offsite at a nearby Corning facility and then shipped to the Steuben facility for processing. However, because the production line's equipment was starting to age and the facility's space was needed for other projects, Corning decided to remove the production line from its facility and build a new automated production line in the Steuben facility.

WEBINAR: Temperature-Modulated DSC Techniques (TMDSC)
WEBINAR: Temperature-Modulated DSC Techniques (TMDSC)
Wednesday, March 24
Temperature-modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC) are widely used in thermal analysis in industrial and university research laboratories to separate overlapping temperature-dependent and time-dependent thermal effects. Methods used up until now have overlaid the isothermal temperature or heating ramp with a (usually) sinusoidal temperature modulation of just one frequency (single frequency method). In contrast, TOPEM, the new, advanced, multifrequency temperature-modulation technique, uses a large number of different frequencies (multifrequency approach). Register for the Webinar today!
