How transparency is helping design engineers overcome five key challenges

21/06/2022

They may have been developed to better manage fluids on production lines, but transparent pressure vessels are increasingly being seen as ideal testing environments for research and development. With orders from blue-chip companies, including Apple research organisations like Boston Scientific and major universities, Engineer Loris Medart from SR-TEK discusses how vessels designed for use in industry are revolutionising R&D.

High-speed ultrasonic scanning identifies minute defects in speciality metals and alloys

24/05/2022

High-purity metals and alloys such as aluminium, zinc, cobalt, copper, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, magnesium and stainless steel are the backbone of many industries, from electronics to aerospace, and medical devices.

Ensuring electronic devices’ reliability through non-destructive testing of speciality materials

04/04/2022

Manufacturers of high-end semiconductor electronic products used in consumer, industrial and military applications have long relied on precise testing methodologies to identify the location of defects, such as voids and cracks, and the delamination of different layers within a microelectronic device, also known as a chip.

High-pressure water descaling pilot facility uses Micro-Epsilon thermal imaging cameras

04/04/2022

Tata Steel is using a thermoIMAGER TIM M-1 thermal imaging camera from Micro-Epsilon with a short 1µm wavelength, as well as a thermoIMAGER TIM 400T 1500 long-wavelength thermal imaging camera, to measure the surface temperature before and after descaling. This allows the company to assess ‘descalability’ and heat loss based on nozzle pressure/flow and descaling speed.

Applying EMC Directive harmonised standards is not enough

04/04/2022

Keith Armstrong, Global EMC Expert at EMC Standards (a partner of the 2022 EMC and Compliance International exhibition), explains why the relevant harmonised standards are no longer sufficient for compliance with the EMC Directive and why most people must now apply IEC 61000-4-14 too.
