Time delay in sample systems is the most common cause of inappropriate results from process analyzers. Process measurements are instantaneous, but analyzer responses are not. There is always a time …

But even PTFE has its limits, so keep the minimum bend radius in mind "Unlike the rigidity of tubing and pipe, it can be bent without the need of tube …

A new way to 3D print graphene at a far higher resolution than before paves the way for the material’s use in smaller objects and a greater diversity of shapes …

Semiconductor manufacturing involves cleaning processes. Due to environmental and health concerns, physical cleaning techniques such as liquid jets or underwater ultrasound are more desirable than the use of toxic chemicals …

An international team of engineers has built a new material from the atom up. Combining the strength of titanium with the porosity and cellular structure of wood, this sheet of …

It’s no secret that process analyzers are more expensive than other measuring devices within your sampling system. Some organizations require justification for such expensive equipment in the form of a …

For lower pressure and less critical applications, rubber hose is often a cost effective solution "Keep in mind that working pressures lower as system media increases in temperature." - From …

Scientists were stunned to discover that gold will melt at room temperature when exposed to an electric field. The ability to manipulate the property of gold will have implications for …

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his partners are experimenting with a technology to extract CO2 from the air and use it to produce a mix of petrol and diesel. If …

A new class of mechanical metamaterials can change from rigid to flexible in response to a magnetic field. They nevertheless retain their shape, making them appropriate for applications such as …

Focusing on sound system design practices, as well as the proper selection, installation, maintenance, and storage of your fluid system components can help you maximize the life of those parts …

Swagelok Northern California can optimize it, engineer it, and build it for you "You already know about the high quality design and manufacture of Swagelok components. You can put that …

Popular Science has released its 31st annual Best of What’s New awards. This is a compilation of technologies and gadgets that don’t just wow, but have the potential to change …

In many analytical instrumentation systems, the process analyzer does not provide an absolute measurement. Rather, it provides a relative response based on settings established during calibration—a critical process subject to …

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have used an algorithm to monitor 3D printing frame by frame that can detect errors in parts as they are printed. The technique improves …

China’s Chang'e-4 probe successfully landed on the far side of the moon, and early this year sent the first ever pictures of the uncharted region. Read the full article published …

Three minute overview on Swagelok Grab Sample Systems that helps you pick the right one. Swagelok Northern California can customize a grab sampling system for the unique needs of your …

Silicon Carbide is becoming more popular in semiconductor applications for electronic devices, but it does degrade. Now scientists in Japan have gained new insights into the material’s degradation at the …

Scientists evaluate two vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) technologies for low-cost post-combustion CO2 capture and concentration (CCC). The aim is to identify the best adsorbents for carbon capture that are also …

A 3D printing technique has overcome the shortcomings of graphene to revolutionize the way manufacturers will produce batteries and supercapacitors, and perhaps even tissue engineering. Whereas until now graphene has …
