Materials compatibility analysis

Materials compatibility analysis In universally appropriate throughout most systems (Tarrents, 1980). 

To assess the well construction materials compatibility versus the subsurface environment and the pesticide of interest, manufacturers can provide data about the various well construction materials or samples can be acquired for laboratory analysis. Also, QC samples of each material can be collected during installation and preserved for laboratory analysis for potential sample bias, if necessary. In addition to well construction materials, the potable water used to clean drilling equipment and to prepare the grout and hydrate bentonite should also be collected for laboratory analysis (see Section 3.2.6). 

Unless laboratory studies on material compatibility establish otherwise, it is recommended that equipment used to collect groundwater samples for pesticide analysis be constructed of metal, fluorocarbon polymer, or glass.However, for a water-supply well, inert well, pump, and plumbing materials are not likely to have been installed for all components. In this case, in-place well, pump type, and plumbing materials should be documented. 

Materials that come in contact with the blank and the samples may also be the source of contamination. Laboratory equipment for sample preparation, storage, and analysis must be made of non-reactive materials compatible with the chemical reagents equipment used in sample digestion must be thermally stable. Quartz glass, PTFE, and polyethylene are common non-contaminating materials used in elemental analysis procedures. 

Standard tests are utilized early in the evaluation phase to evaluate flammability, ignition and explosive characteristics. These include differential thermal analysis, thermo gravometric analysis, drop weight tests, friction tests, card gap (shock initiation) tests, and materials compatibility tests. Information derived from the above tests serve as a basis to establish safe procedures and techniques to handle and process the chemicals into propellants. 

The issues raised during testing of these different assemblies illustrate the need for effective and complete compatibility analysis prior to implementation of a cleaning process. Materials analysis alone is insu 5cient when determining if supercritical fluid cleaning can be used in a proposed application. 

Another factor of anisotropic design analysis is greater dependence of stress distributions on materials properties. For isotropic materials, whether elastic, viscoelastic, etc., static values often result in stress fields which are independent of material stiffness properties. In part, this is due to the fact that Poisson s ratio is the only material parameter appearing in the compatibility equations for stress. This parameter does not vary widely between materials. However, the compatibility equations in stress for anisotropic materials depend on ratios of Young s moduli for different material axes, and this can introduce a strong dependence of stress on material stiffness. This approach can be used in component design, but the product and material design analysis become more closely related.

The above technology issues point to the need for a significant R D program to determine the viability of the concept and provide needed data to adequately evaluate the concept and support the detailed design effort. Data needs include data on material compatibility, cross sections and fuel performance data, thermal-hydraulics data, and component performance data. These data will also be required for the development and validation of analysis tools to be used in the design, development, and safety analyses for the MSR. 

The total concentration of HOCl + OCl , expressed as the equivalent CI2 concentration in ppm or mg/L, is called free chlorine. The free chlorine disinfection level in residential swimming pools is maintained between 0.5 and 3 ppm and is usually controlled by simple colorimetric analysis. The biocidal activity of the acid form, HOCl or active chlorine, is more than 20 times stronger than the activity of the ionized OCl— form [2]. It is therefore critical to maintain a pH lower than 7.6-7.8 where the HOCl form is significant (see Fig. 1). The minimum recommended pH is 7 for bather comfort and pool material compatibility reasons. 

The test procedure is specified in IPC-TM-650, method 2.4.24.2. The test specimen should consist of a strip of laminate material compatible to the measuring equipment. For all samples with woven reinforcement, it is necessary to make siue that the specimens are cnt parallel or perpendicular to the woven structure. The analysis is based on an assumption of constant specimen geometry therefore, the test specimens must be stiff enough not to deform plastically during the experiment. AH copper needs to be etched off... 

Each of these techniques requires the fabricator to understand the fill material compatibility with their base laminate system and plating processes. Typically, process compatibihty can be screened with a simple solder-float thermal stress analysis and cross section.

The measures of dimensional variability from Conformability Analysis (CA) (as described in Chapters 2 and 3), specifically the Component Manufacturing Variability Risk, q, is useful in the allocation of tolerances and subsequent analysis of their distributions in probabilistic design. The value is determined from process capability maps for the manufacturing process and knowledge of the component s material and geometry compatibility with the process. In the specific case to the th component bilateral tolerance, it was shown in Chapter 3 that the standard deviation estimates were ...

In Laser Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LIMS, also LAMMA, LAMMS, and LIMA), a vacuum-compatible solid sample is irradiated with short pulses ("10 ns) of ultraviolet laser light. The laser pulse vaporizes a microvolume of material, and a fraction of the vaporized species are ionized and accelerated into a time-of-flight mass spectrometer which measures the signal intensity of the mass-separated ions. The instrument acquires a complete mass spectrum, typically covering the range 0— 250 atomic mass units (amu), with each laser pulse. A survey analysis of the material is performed in this way. The relative intensities of the signals can be converted to concentrations with the use of appropriate standards, and quantitative or semi-quantitative analyses are possible with the use of such standards. 

A general requirement for LIMS analysis is that the material must be vacuum compatible and able to absorb UV laser radiation. With regard to the latter require-... 

The main principles of instrument design are summarized in Table 10.23. In filtration, e.g. for gravimetric analysis, selection of filter material (Table 10.22) requires careful consideration in terms of application, strength, collection efficiency, compatibility with pump, water uptake, etc. Humidity-controlled balance rooms, iTiicrobalances and careful handling techniques may be required. 

This second group of tests is designed to measure the mechanical response of a substance to applied vibrational loads or strains. Both temperature and frequency can be varied, and thus contribute to the information that these tests can provide. There are a number of such tests, of which the major ones are probably the torsion pendulum and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The underlying principles of these dynamic tests have been covered earlier. Such tests are used as relatively rapid methods of characterisation and evaluation of viscoelastic polymers, including the measurement of T, the study of the curing characteristics of thermosets, and the study of polymer blends and their compatibility. They can be used in essentially non-destructive modes and, unlike the majority of measurements made in non-dynamic tests, they yield data on continuous properties of polymeric materials, rather than discontinuous ones, as are any of the types of strength which are measured routinely. 

Table 7.83 lists the main characteristics of TLC-FAB-MS/LSIMS. A key difference between EI/CI and FAB/LSIMS/LD is the fact that sampling in FAB and LSIMS is from a specified location that corresponds to the impact footprint of the primary particle beam. The natural compatibility of FAB, LSIMS and LD with the direct mass-spectrometric analysis of TLC plates is readily apparent. Most mass-spectrometric measurements are destructive in nature, but FAB and LSIMS are surface-sensitive techniques in which the material actually consumed in the analysis is sputtered only from the top few microns of the sample spot. The underlying bulk is not affected, and can be used for further probing. The major limitation of TLC-FAB depends on the capability of the compounds to produce a good spectrum.
