Atest looks forward to seeing you at industry seminars held within the scope of the Control-Tech Expo
Seminar on: "Grain size measurement in production process control."
24 September 2024 Time: 10:30
Host: Jan Kula - grain size specialist and Ewelina Szymańska - laboratory equipment specialist
Total seminar time: 2:30
Target.
Suppose you use various raw materials from which materials in the production process and various states of aggregation are the output (powders, granulates, fibres, suspensions, emulsions, aerosols). In that case, products behave differently depending on the shape and size of the particles as a result of their different physical properties.
It is worth knowing that the shape and size of particles affect the quality of the final product. The seminar offers the possibility of learning how to control these factors and learning more about the possibilities of measuring particle size and shape.
A detailed seminar plan
- Particle characteristics
- Sieve analysis
- Laser diffraction
- Dynamic image analysis
- Ultrasonic extinction
- Dynamic light dispersion
- Example measurements using the HELOS laser diffractometer
Seminar on: "Preparation of a permanent sample for further analyses to ensure the quality of the finished product"
25 September 2024 Time: 11:00
Host: Krzysztof Kula - laboratory mills specialist at ATEST
Total seminar time: 1:00
Target.
Are you wondering how to grind the sample in order to analyse the tested material and how much material you will need for grinding? If you want to learn the steps to obtain reliable results, just participate in this industry seminar and find answers to these questions.
The general procedure does not change much, but the detailed steps depend on the specificity of the sample and the type of analysis. Modern analytical methods precisely determine moisture content, elemental composition and other chemical and physical parameters. Typically, a small sample is used for analysis and, importantly, it must be representative for the production batch and input materials.
A detailed seminar plan
- Principles of proper preparation of a laboratory sample
- Pre-crushing
- Sample separation
- Final grinding
Both events are organised by Atest - a manufacturer and supplier of laboratory equipment. Established in 1994, the company started by repairing measuring equipment. In the late 1990s, it began cooperating with leading manufacturers of laboratory equipment. More information about the company on the website: https://www.atest.pl
