Modern measuring techniques

The laser scan micrometer is a high-precision laser measuring system that performs non-contact 

With the non-contact measurement capability, this system features high-precision measurement of workpieces that are difficult to measure using conventional measuring systems. These include hot workpieces, brittle or elastic workpieces, workpieces that must be kept free from contamination, and soft workpieces which would be affected by measuring forces. 

The basic principle is that a laser beam is directed across the workpiece. The part of the beam not obstructed by the workpiece reaches a receiver which sends a signal for processing and the dimension is displayed digitally on the connected display unit. 

Data software is available which allows import of measurement data from one or more display units to a PC for statistical and quality control purposes. A typical measuring unit and display unit is shown at Fig. 6.44. The unit shown has a range from 0.1 mm to 25mm with resolutions selectable 

Vernier calipers Large measuring range on one instrument. Capable of internal, external, step and depth measurements. Resolution of LCD model 0.01 mm Resolution 0.02 mm. Point of measuring contact not in line with adjusting nut (Abbe s principle). Jaws can spring. Lack of feel. Length of jaws limits measurement to short distance from end of workpiece. No adjustment for wear

Modern measuring techniques, an increased requirement for the indoor environment, and the efficiency of filters in separating particles led to EUROVENT 4/9 1992 Method of Testing Air Filters Used In General Ventilation for the Determination of Fractional Efficiency. This method also provides the basis for the next revision or upgrade of European Standard EN 779 1999. 

This is the very last and truly intriguing question. We may begin by the observation that the physical modulation of signals is the basis of all modern measurement techniques. Beams are chopped, lasers pulsed, acoustic and electrical signals are modulated at a wide range of frequencies. It is about time that physical modulation of chemistries, which is the essence of FIA, is integrated into and exploited by modern instrumental techniques.

Ceramic bond formation and grain growth by diffusion are the two prominent reactions for bonding at the high temperature (1100 to 1370°C, or 2000 to 2500°F, for iron ore) employed. The minimum temperature required for sintering may be measured by modern dilatometry techniques, as well as by differential scanning calorimetry. See Compo et al. [Powder Tech., 51(1), 87 (1987) Paiticle Characterization, 1, 171 (1984)] for reviews. 

As loading stresses approach or exceed the shear strength of a solid, inelastic effects are to be expected, and details of the behavior have been readily observed with modern, time-resolving measurement techniques. There are many observations of these behaviors. 

Over 20 spin-Vi nuclei are available to the NMR spectroscopist. Most are very insensitive with respect to the proton or even to carbon-13, but modern NMR techniques still make almost all of them easy to study. A few have NMR resonance frequencies which are very low, and cannot be measured using standard probeheads. 

Bromination data became accessible over a large reactivity range when it became possible to follow low bromine concentrations. All the modern kinetic techniques are based on the fact that, since bromination is a second- or third-order reaction, bromination half-lives of a few milliseconds to several seconds can be obtained by working at very low reagent concentrations. For example, second-order rate constants as high as 109 m 1 s 1 can be readily measured if the reagent concentrations are 10-9m, the half-life of the bromine-olefin mixture then being 1 s. 

In the crystal, where the molecule exists with four molecules of water, X-ray measurements reveal a precise trans orientation. These measurements provide a final example to illustrate the fine details of structure and conformation which are available from the use of modern physical techniques. 

Lineshift and broadening measurements provide information complementary to that obtained from the conventional collision measurements described in the previous chapter. Just as the tunable laser has made possible many of the collision experiments described in the previous chapter, it has allowed much more sensitive line broadening measurements. In this chapter we connect the normal description of lineshapes to the Rydberg atom collision processes, briefly describe the two modern experimental techniques, and describe the results of the experiments.

We chose to use a modernized version of the manometric measuring technique both in our earlier work and in the present experiments. This approach offered good flexibility in that the electronic manometers used to monitor the gas flux respond to a wide variety of gases. It is also possible to calibrate the apparatus reliably using existing standards. By completely computerizing the measurement process (6) we were able to provide... 

Both liquid and solid material can be suspended in a gas by a variety of mechanisms. Aerosols produced under laboratory conditions or by specific generating devices may have very uniform properties that can be investigated relatively easily by physical and chemical instrumentation. Natural aerosols found in the atmosphere are mixtures of materials from many sources that are highly heterogeneous in composition and physical properties. Their characterization has required the application of a variety of measurement techniques and has been a major activity in modern aerosol science. 

Figure 7.1 Most modern NMR techniques are based on the fact, that the phase (p of the precessing transverse magnetisation M t) kann be measured. By use of the Fourier transformation the phase provides access to NMR spectra, images, and parameters of translational motion like velocity v and acceleration a. Spectroscopic parameters as well as components of translational velocity and acceleration can be used for generating contrast in NMR imaging. In the drawing the magnetisation M(t) has been generated from Mz by use of a 90° pulse of the B1 radio-frequency (rf) field in y direction...
