Sonic Cleaning Adhesive Gun and Spray Paint Nozzles
By Bob Sandor |
We sometimes get a question along the lines “Can I use a sonic cleaner to clean sprayer tips?” There’s lots of advice on the Internet for cleaning adhesive gun and spray paint nozzles. Many involve time-consuming manual cleaning and/or the use of volatile solvents such as acetone. A better way is sonic cleaning adhesive gun…
Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning Tank for Firearms
Investments in firearms by individuals and organizations can be substantial, and a regular cleaning regimen helps protect that investment. A MilMag article titled “Weapons Cleaning for Dummies” notes that of four methods…
How to Select an Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaner
Industrial and commercial ultrasonic cleaners can represent a sizeable investment. The global market, including industrial ultrasonic cleaners, is expected to reach $2.43 billion by 2028 according to Data Bridge Market Research. The…
HPLC Flow Meter Cleaning Tips
Fast, accurate calibration of flow rates used in HPLC flow systems can be compromised if the flow meter is not maintained. Here are some maintenance tips.
Laboratory Refrigerator Selection Criteria
Pharmaceuticals, blood and plasma must be stored within tight temperature ranges to avoid loss of potency or spoilage. Lab refrigerators and lab freezers are built to meet the demanding requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare providers.
Ultrasonic Passivation for Stainless Steel
Stainless steels such as AISI* Types 304, 310 and 316, are favored for strength and corrosion resistance. Applications include food, chemical and pharmaceutical processing, surgical implants, architecture and transportation. Over time starting…
Ultrasonic Cleaner Degas: Why it’s Important
Degassing fresh ultrasonic cleaning solutions in Degas mode allows normal cleaning operations to start within 10 minutes rather than the 30 minutes that may be required by using ultrasonic cleaning action to accomplish degassing.
Selecting Scale Weights for Calibration Testing
Calibrating precision digital scales, analytical balances and moisture analyzers that rely on accurate weight measurement requires periodic tests using a scale weight closely matching the maximum capacity of the instrument being tested.…
How to Specify a Super Cold Freezer
Ultra low temperature freezers are used for long-term storage of pharmaceuticals and biological specimens, and for testing a product’s ability to perform in super-cold environments.
Efficiently Clean Machined Parts with Ultrasonic Cleaner
Cleaning finely machined parts with ultrasonic energy avoids damage by abrasive compounds and mechanical scrubbing to remove grinding dust, metal shavings, lubricants, cutting and coolant fluid residues. That’s why ultrasonic cleaners are…
Specification Guidelines for Medical Refrigerators
Medical refrigerators – also called laboratory and scientific refrigerators – employed across healthcare and research facilities can be broadly classified into three categories: Temperatures shown are examples. Temperature capability is indicated on…
Flow Meter Calibration for HPLC Pumping Systems
First of all, our HPLC flow meters are shipped factory calibrated along with an accompanying calibration certificate for a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min plus additional flow rates requested by the customer. The calibration certificate certifies that the displayed flow rate is within ±1% of the actual flow rate at each calibration point.
How to Determine Moisture Content
Incorrect moisture content affects shelf life of foods, flow ability, chemical reactions, the ability of a product to be processed, and overall product performance.
