Introducing PTL’s New Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness Testing Capabilities
Most hydraulic failures don’t start with a broken part. They start with particles too small to see. Fine dirt, wear metal, and other debris circulating in the fluid gradually wear down pumps, valves, and actuators until something gives
What Does Particle Size Testing by “Best Method” Mean?
In the intricate world of materials science and engineering, the significance of particle size cannot be overstated. The dimensions of particles play a pivotal role in determining the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of materials, influencing everything from
Three Things Your Particle Size Contract Lab Needs to Know to Match Your Specifications
Particle size specifications are designed to ensure raw ingredients and products perform as expected. Often, companies are required to verify that their material is meeting these specifications regardless of which supplier is used. Using a contract lab for
Testing Particle Size by Laser Diffraction
Laser diffraction is a frequently requested technique in the particle characterization industry, but how do you know if it’s right for your material and process? The experts at Particle Technology Labs have years of experience evaluating powders, semi-solid
Particle Dispersion for Size Analysis
KEY POINTS The following key points are discussed: While particle size analysis can provide great insight in the pharmaceutical industry, it can be nearly meaningless if obtained improperly. A particle size distribution can be found for both colloidal
