FAQ

What are laboratory hydraulic machines?

Laboratory hydraulic machines are precision instruments used in scientific and industrial settings for applying controlled force and pressure to samples or materials. These machines utilize hydraulic systems to generate the force required for various applications, such as compression testing, material characterization, and sample preparation.

What is a press mold?

A press mold is a device used in material processing methods such as cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and metal mold pressing to create molded bodies from powder materials. In CIP, the mold containing the powder is immersed in a pressure medium, and isostatic pressure is applied to the outer surfaces of the mold to compress the powder into a shape. Metal mold pressing applies only uniaxial pressure to the powder material to create molded bodies. CIP can produce products with uniform density and homogeneity due to no frictions with a metal mold.

What are the advantages of using laboratory hydraulic machines?

Laboratory hydraulic machines offer several advantages in terms of their force capacity, precision, and versatility. They can generate high forces, making them suitable for testing or processing materials that require significant pressure. Hydraulic machines provide precise control over the applied force, allowing for accurate and repeatable results. They are often equipped with load cells or sensors to measure and monitor the force or displacement during testing. Hydraulic machines can accommodate a wide range of sample sizes and shapes, making them versatile for various applications. Additionally, they can operate at different speeds, providing flexibility for different testing or processing requirements.

How do you prepare pressed pellets for XRF?

Pressed pellets for XRF analysis are prepared by grinding the sample to a fine particle size and mixing it with a binder or grinding aid. The mixture is then poured into a pressing die and compressed at a pressure of between 15 and 35T. The resulting pellet is ready for analysis. It is important to consider the particle size of the sample, choice of binder, sample dilution ratio, pressure used for pressing, and the thickness of the pellet when designing a sample preparation recipe. Consistency in the preparation procedure is key to ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

What is KBr used for?

KBr, or potassium bromide, is commonly used in laboratories as a matrix for infrared spectroscopy. It is mixed with an organic sample and compressed into a pellet using a press like the benchtop KBr Pellet Press. The resulting pellets are used for analysis of the sample's molecular structure and composition. KBr is also used for briquetting inorganic samples for x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and for pressing thin polymer films using heated platens for transmission sampling by IR spectroscopy. It is an important tool for researchers in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biology, nutrition and spectroscopy.

What is press Mould in ceramics?

Press moulding is a ceramic forming technique that involves the compaction of powders by applying either a rigid or flexible pressure. It can be either uniaxial or isostatic, depending on the shape required. Isostatic pressing is used for shapes that cannot be obtained by uniaxial pressing or for added value products that require high density and isotropic green bodies. The molds for axial-pressing are usually made of steel, while those for isostatic pressing are made of elastomers, silicone, and polyurethanes. This technology is applied in various fields like ceramics, MMC, CMC, and Silicon nitride for cutting tools, components of heavy-duty valves, wear parts for process technology, and more.

What are the applications of laboratory hydraulic machines?

Laboratory hydraulic machines find applications in diverse fields, including materials science, engineering, geotechnical testing, and quality control. They are commonly used for compression testing of materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Hydraulic machines are employed in tensile testing, bending tests, and fatigue testing, allowing for the characterization of material properties. These machines are also used in geotechnical testing to assess the strength and stability of soils or rock samples. Additionally, hydraulic machines can be utilized for sample preparation, such as pelletizing or briquetting powdered materials.

What pressure should XRF pellets be?

XRF pellets should be pressed at pressures between 15 and 40 tons for 1-2 minutes to ensure that the binder recrystallizes and that there are no void spaces present in the pellet. The pressure applied by the hydraulic press should be enough for the sample to be completely compressed. The thickness of the pellet is also crucial, as it must be infinitely thick to the X-rays. Working with small particle sizes (<50µm or <75µm) is also important for effective analysis. These factors impact how well the sample binds together under pressure, which affects the analytical results.

What is the KBr pellet method?

The KBr pellet method is a technique used in spectroscopy to analyze solids. It involves compressing powdered materials into pellet form using a compact, hand-operated press called the KBr Pellet Press. The resulting pellets are cylindrical in shape and can be of any desired thickness. This method is particularly useful in pharmaceutical, biological, nutrition, and spectrographic operations, and provides advantages such as using less sample than ATR, higher signal-to-noise, and control over signal intensity by changing sample concentration or increasing pathlength. It also offers clear advantages in detecting trace contaminants.

How are pellet molds used?

To use a pellet mold, the powdered or granular material is first loaded into the mold cavity. The material is then compacted by applying pressure using a laboratory press or hydraulic machine. The pressure causes the material to conform to the shape of the mold, resulting in a solid pellet or cylindrical sample. After the compaction process, the pellet is removed from the mold and can be further processed or analyzed as needed.

What are the main components of a laboratory hydraulic machine?

The main components of a laboratory hydraulic machine include a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic cylinder, a piston, valves, gauges, and a control panel. The hydraulic pump generates pressure by forcing hydraulic fluid into the cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder houses the piston, which applies force to the sample or material. Valves control the flow of hydraulic fluid, allowing for precise control over the applied force. Gauges measure and display the force or pressure being applied. The control panel or software enables users to set and adjust parameters such as force, displacement, or strain.

What is the advantage of XRF pressed pellet technique?

The advantage of XRF pressed pellet technique is that it produces high-quality results with a higher signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for the detection of even the lightest elements. Quantifying the elemental composition without pressed pellets can lead to significant discrepancies between expected and actual values. The grinding of the sample into fine particles and compressing it into a smooth and flat XRF pellet reduces background scattering and improves the detection of emissions. Pressed pellets are also relatively quick, low-cost, and lend themselves to simple and cost-effective automation for higher throughput laboratories.

Why KBr is used for pellet?

KBr (potassium bromide) is used for pellet preparation because it is a stable, transparent, and inexpensive salt that is easy to obtain in high purity. When a sample is mixed with KBr powder and compressed into a pellet using a press, it forms a flat, uniform disc with a consistent thickness. KBr pellets are commonly used in spectroscopy applications to analyze solid samples because they provide a clear and reproducible path for infrared light to pass through, which allows for accurate measurements of the sample's chemical composition.

What types of materials can be pelletized using pellet molds?

Pellet molds can be used to pelletize a wide range of materials, including but not limited to powders, granules, metals, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. They are particularly useful for materials that require compaction or shaping before further analysis or processing. Pelletizing materials can improve their flow properties, density, and handling characteristics, making them suitable for applications such as tabletting, catalyst preparation, fuel pellet production, and sample preparation for spectroscopic or analytical techniques.

What considerations should be taken when selecting a laboratory hydraulic machine?

When selecting a laboratory hydraulic machine, several factors should be considered. The force capacity should match the specific application and the maximum force expected. The size and configuration of the hydraulic cylinder should accommodate the sample size and shape. The machine should have precise control over the applied force, displacement, or strain, with user-friendly software or control panels. Safety features, such as emergency stop buttons and protective shields, should be evaluated. It is important to ensure that the machine is constructed from durable materials and designed for long-term use. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the availability of accessories or fixtures to hold the samples securely during testing.

How to make KBr pellets for FTIR?

To make KBr pellets for FTIR, a pellet press die set, pestle and mortar, and IR-transparent medium, such as KBr, are required. The KBr and sample are mixed in a mortar, and the resulting mixture is pressed into a disc using a die set and a hydraulic press. The pellet should be thin, transparent, and contain only a small amount of the sample. The typical ratio of KBr to sample is 100:1. KBr is hygroscopic, so it should be stored in a dry environment and prepared in a glovebox or with a vacuum die to avoid moisture absorption.

How can one select the appropriate pellet mold for their specific application?

Pellet molds can be used to pelletize a wide range of materials, including but not limited to powders, granules, metals, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. They are particularly useful for materials that require compaction or shaping before further analysis or processing. Pelletizing materials can improve their flow properties, density, and handling characteristics, making them suitable for applications such as tabletting, catalyst preparation, fuel pellet production, and sample preparation for spectroscopic or analytical techniques.
