Materials and procedure

A system checklist is useful to identify compliance problems and also tliose areas of die system diat require furdier hazard evaluation. The niediod is easy to use and can be applied to any component of a given system such as equipment, instrunientation, materials, and procedures. Tliis mediod, which produces qualitative results, must be prepared by an engineer dioroughly experienced with die system once die checklist is prepared, however, it can be used by engineers or managers who may have less tecluiical experience widi die system. ...

The discussion of mlcrospectrofluorometrlc standards will parallel the previous discussion of macrostandards and will delineate the additional requirements for standards that are used In the microscopic environment. Haaljman (53) has reviewed the various materials and procedures used for making measurements on a microscopic scale. 

Even the most reliable contractor or subcontractor may not be familiar with the requirements of a laboratory. He bases his bid on standard materials and procedures that he is accustomed to using for general construction. On the other hand, he may also throw in sophisticated and costly extras that are not required. It is for these reasons that everything must be well defined and crosschecked. Specifying materials and components by trade name is recommended. In many cases, of coimse, other brands could be acceptable, but it should be agreed that a switch can not be made without the laboratory operator s knowledge and approval. 

The duplex range of stainless steels can be readily cast, wrought and machined. Problems can occur in welding, due to the need to keep the correct balance of ferrite and austenite in the weld area, but this can be overcome using the correct welding materials and procedures. 

The preparation of iodo (trimethyl) platinum (IV) of empirical formula PtI(CH3)3 was first reported by Pope and Peachey.1 The substance was produced by the reaction between platinum (IV) chloride and methylmagnesium iodide. Gilman et al.2 have repeated this method of preparation to give a 45% yield and have identified some of the side products of the reaction. Various starting materials and procedures have been used by... 

The artificial hip has been used to replace the human hip because the hip is easily worn out over a lifetime of mechanical stress resulting from normal activity. The first artificial hip implant was made by Thermistokles Gluck in 1891 in Berlin. This implant made use of a femoral head of ivory fixed with plaster of paris and glue (Gluck, 1890, 1891). The results were not good due to severe infection problems and adverse foreign body tissue reactions. To develop better hip replacement prosthesis, many materials and procedures were examined between 1925 and 1953. 

I Burner fuel stabilized with an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate (Witco Petronate CR) in 1% NaCI was studied. Table 1 lists the variables and their ranges for the single-stage kinetic studies. A detailed description of the equipment, materials, and procedures has been presented by Byeseda.8... 

In the previous edition of this book, Dryhurst and McAllister described carbon electrodes in common use at the time, with particular emphasis on fabrication and potential limits [1]. There have been two extensive reviews since the previous edition, one emphasizing electrode kinetics at carbon [2] and one on more general physical and electrochemical properties [3]. In addition to greater popularity of carbon as an electrode, the major developments since 1984 have been an improved understanding of surface properties and structure, and extensive efforts on chemical modification. In the context of electroanalytical applications, the current chapter stresses the relationship between surface structure and reproducibility, plus the variety of carbon materials and pretreatments. Since the intent of the chapter is to guide the reader in using commonly available materials and procedures, many interesting but less common approaches from the literature are not addressed. A particularly active area that is not discussed is the wide variety of carbon electrodes with chemically modified surfaces. 

Two working groups have been created. WG 1 Reference materials and reference procedures, with IRMM and NIST in the chair, includes representations from AdvaMed, BIPM (CCQM), CAP, EDMA, EQALM, IFCC, JACR, NIBSC, and WHO it will establish criteria for acceptance of materials and procedures and produce lists of such items.
