Accelerated Condensation Corrosion Test for Evaluating Rust Preventives

High-temperature ultrasonic thickness monitoring for pipe thinning in a flow-accelerated corrosion proof test facility

In order to monitor the pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) that occurs in coolant piping systems, a shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch-catch waveguide technique was developed for accurate pipe wall thickness monitoring. A clamping device for dry coupling contact between the end of the waveguide and pipe surface was designed and fabricated. A computer program for multichanne...

Evaluating the Semi-Circular Bending Test for HMA Mixtures

Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) Test is a fast and accurate three-point bending test, which was originally used in rock mechanics. SCB test is going to be an accepted test method for asphalt concrete pavements. Different asphalt-mixture property-values such as tensile strength, stress intensity factor and fatigue can be obtained by this test. In this study, static and dynamic tests including SCB te...

Effect of rust on haemagglutination test.

Microtechniques are now used extensively in diagnostic as well as immunological studies for viruses, protozoa, and bacteria (Sever, 1962; Edwards, 1964; Kessel, Lewis, Pasquel, and Turner, 1965). In microtitrations constant volumes of fluids are picked up and delivered by specially constructed and calibrated metallic microdiluters. According to the Microtiter Instruction Manual of the Cooke Eng...
