Consistent practical methods for defining equipment qualification and testing requirements can improve subsea equipment reliability and facilitate project execution. ExxonMobil Development Co. (EMDC) ...

Figure 1. Ultrasonic testing using pulse echo and through-transmission methods. Pulse echo (left and center) uses a transducer that sends and receives ultrasound energy, producing both A- and B-scan ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

A material’s hardness relates to its mechanical resistance when subjected to mechanical indentation by another harder body. Diamond is considered the hardest natural material and is typically used for ...

ASHRAE has released a new standard that provides a test method to determine the heat gain generated by office equipment. The growing use of plug loads coupled with insufficient data on how much energy ...

What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...

In a perfect world, electrical insulation would allow no current to flow through it. Unfortunately, several factors can — and will — result in the deterioration and ultimate failure of electrical ...

Panama City Beach, FL, August 26, 2024 — ATOR Labs, a mission-driven leader in life support equipment testing, proudly announces the launch of the OMNIcheck®—the world’s first breathing machine ...

Along with the development of new instrumentation, the test procedure itself was also standardized. By “walking” the potential probe toward the current probe and graphing the measurements, the ...

An international research group has proposed a low-cost testing methodology for solar water pumping systems that can reportedly improve water access in developing countries. The novel approach enables ...

Metal testing equipment is primarily used to measure the tensile strength of metals, however further uses include hardness and impact testing, metallographic and formability testing, and much more.
