Positive materials identification

Provide positive material identification and to check the quality of all incoming material used for pressure containment systems in this process. 

Rubber parts are extremely susceptible to materials mix-ups. The complexity of the supply chain between the rubber pro-ducer and the part user is the principal reason. Carbon black is the most effective filler material for optimum mechanical and chemical resistant properties. Consequently, most rubber parts are black, which is a serious impediment to positive materials identification. The end user must man-... 

As a result, most users employ a positive materials identification program, which includes welds as well as parent metals. Positive materials identification testing should be done on installed materials. When this is not practicable, alternatives snch as testing immediately before installation are permitted. 

Use the Notes space on the template to indicate special requirements such as inspection categories, positive material identification, special flange face machined finishes, etc. 

Another large handheld application segment is in positive material identification (PMI) where, similar to scrap sorting, the sample is identified as a specific alloy or material. PMI ensures that, for example, the repair of a crucial pipe in a hazardous material-containing process is only performed using the correct and certified material. After a catastrophic accident in a Texas refinery, PMI inspection of components carrying hazardous products was made mandatory. This mandate is easily accomplished on site using HH XRF instrumentation. 

The wavelength, A, is often the Cu Ka line at 0.154 nm. Primary information for material identification is provided by relative peak heights and peak positions. The latter is illustrated in Eq. 5, in which x is the momentum transfer, inversely proportional to the d-spacing at constant order, n.

However tested, the results should record positive component or material identification, as does/does not comply . 

The health rating is provided on the left at the 9 o clock position and is colored blue. The flammability rating is provided at the top or 12 o clock position and is colored red. The reactivity hazard is provided on the right at the 3 o clock position and is colored yellow. The relative rankings for each hazard are indicated in each quadrant. Special hazard identifiers are provided in the bottom quadrant at the 6 o clock position, which is usually white. Special hazard qualifiers generally include radioactivity, explosives, corrosive, water reactive, oxidizer, etc. The NFPA fire hazard identification scheme is somewhat limited as it only identifies relative potential hazards with the individual material. It does not identify the material itself or all of its potential reactions with other materials. See Figure C.3 for a depiction of this placard.

Among the rarest of all meteorites are the lunar meteorites. Isotopic, mineralogical, and compositional properties of these samples provide positive identification as lunar samples because of the unique properties of lunar materials that have been discovered by extensive analyses of lunar materials returned by the manned ApoUo and unstaffed Luna missions. AH but one of the lunar meteorites that have been found to date have been recovered from Antarctica.

As with other diffraction techniques (X-ray and electron), neutron diffraction is a nondestructive technique that can be used to determine the positions of atoms in crystalline materials. Other uses are phase identification and quantitation, residual stress measurements, and average particle-size estimations for crystalline materials. Since neutrons possess a magnetic moment, neutron diffraction is sensitive to the ordering of magnetically active atoms. It differs from many site-specific analyses, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, vibrational, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, in that neutron diffraction provides detailed structural information averaged over thousands of A. It will be seen that the major differences between neutron diffraction and other diffiaction techniques, namely the extraordinarily... 

Internal heat exchange is realized by heat conduction from the microstructured reaction zone to a mini channel heat exchanger, positioned in the rear of the reaction zone [1,3,4], The falling film micro reactor can be equipped, additionally, with an inspection window. This allows a visually check of the quality of film formation and identification of flow misdistribution. Furthermore, photochemical gas/liquid contacting can be carried out, given transparency of the window material for the band range of interest [6], In some cases an inspection window made of silicon was used to allow observation of temperature changes caused by chemical reactions or physical interactions by an IR camera [4, 5]. 

Thermal-programmed solid insertion probe mass spectrometry (TP-SIP-MS) has been proposed [247,248], in which the solid insertion probe consisting of a water-cooled microfumace enters the mass spectrometer via an airlock. The sample is contained in a small Pyrex tube (i.d. 1 mm, length 20 mm). The TIC trace gives a characteristic evolved gas profile for each compound in a mixture of materials, and the mass spectra associated with each TIC peak give a positive identification of that component as it is vaporised. TP-SIP-MS is appropriate for analysis of small solid particles which are volatile, or produce volatile decomposition products. The technique is a form of evolved gas analysis. 

X-ray fluorescence analysis is a nondestructive method to analyze rubber materials qualitatively and quantitatively. It is used for the identification as well as for the determination of the concentration of all elements from fluorine through the remainder of the periodic table in their various combinations. X-rays of high intensity irradiate the solid, powder, or liquid specimen. Hence, the elements in the specimen emit X-ray fluorescence radiation of wavelengths characteristic to each element. By reflection from an analyzing crystal, this radiation is dispersed into characteristic spectral lines. The position and intensity of these lines are measured.
