How Quality Control and Failure Analysis of PP Effectively Prevent Scrapping of Goods
Do you need a plastic part or a film with very specific properties – such as temperature stability coupled with dimensional stability accurate to a hundredth of a millimeter and UV resistance – otherwise it cannot be used for its intended purpose? But how can you check whether all requirements have been met and, in addition, how can failures be analyzed?
NETZSCH EPS – A New and Affordable Standard Material for Testing Thermal Conductivity with HFM Instruments
The heat flow meter (HFM) method is mainly used to test thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of insulation samples. It is not an absolute method, therefore, the heat flow meter output needs to be calibrated with a standard material. NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH has recently qualified its own factory standard for calibration and validation of heat flow meter (HFM) instruments, the NETZSCH EPS standard.
