Isobars See Isopiestic are superthermal high speed heat transfer devices capable of conducting heat energy over 10,000 times faster than copper. On the outside the Isobar is a copper shell structure containing an internally built in pumping mechanism and an appropriate fluid. As one applies heat energy to on end of the Isobar, the fluid inside vaporizes and then rapidly flows to the other end. As the hot vapor encounters cooler surfaces, it condenses and releases the energy it has absorbed previously. The condensed con·dense v. con·densed, con·dens·ing, con·dens·es v.tr. 1.

This fast moving cycle of vapor and liquid flow is said to result in a rapid transport of energy with a high degree of thermal uniformity on the Isobar surface. Thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. molding applications presented on the web site include automotive headlight housings and electrical switchgear The term switchgear, used in association with the electric power system, or grid, refers to the combination of electrical disconnects, fuses and/or circuit breakers used to isolate electrical equipment. housings. Isobar heat-transfer technology for thermoset molds has enabled a processor, Square D's of Columbia, MD, to eliminate the problem of uneven mold heating and reduce cycle times by up to 23%. A detailed report of this application is presented in Acrolab's web site. Although Isobars are intended for new tooling, they are said to be easily retrofitted to existing cores or molds. Each application is examined by Acrolab's engineering department and quoted only after thorough study of the mold and process in question. Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc. Guill Tool and Engineering, innovators in extrusion tooling for the plastics and rubber industries, offers an informative web site to interested parties. Guill Tool and Engineering is recognized as a leading designer and manufacturer of extrusion tooling for the plastic extrusion industry. Markets include the following industries: Wire and cable; rubber; fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber ; profile; medical tube; industrial; blow molding; hose and tube; pipe; plastic; automotive tube; plastic compounding; and custom applications. Products in Guill Tool and Engineering's line include crossheads, spiderless inlines, multi-layer, pelletizing Pelletizing or pelletising is the process of compressed or molding of product into the shape of a pellet. A large range of different products are pelletized including chemicals, iron ore, animal compound feed, and more. , dual head, dual wall, tooling and accessories. Guill Tool and Engineering's product line is organized into seven series, each addressing a specific need, including: 100 Series pelletizing heads for plastics; 200 Series custom designed heads to meet special needs, including crossheads and spiderless inline dies; 500 Series water-cooled rubber and silicone, crossheads and spiderless inline dies; 600 Series crossheads offering flexibility in design and extruder orientation; 700 Series standard crossheads that accept existing tooling; 800 Series crossheads which offer simplicity and fewer parts; and 900 Series spiderless inlines which also offer simplicity and fewer parts. Guill Tool and Engineering has been a supplier of quality extrusion tooling since 1962. Originally established as a free-standing support facility for the wire and cable industry, the company expanded its product line to include fixed or adjustable center crosshead cross·head n. A beam that connects the piston rod to the connecting rod of a reciprocating engine. Noun 1. crosshead - a heading of a subsection printed within the body of the text crossheading and inline tubing dies. Services offered include engineering, consulting and training. HAAKE Haake, said to be the standard of material characterization, offers a web site that highlights polymer processing, rheology, thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include:
Haake has the most complete offering of laboratory scale twin screw extruders/compounders to meet the widest range of applications commercially available. Whether the application is reactive processing or intensive, dispersive dispersive /dis·per·sive/ (-per´siv) 1. tending to become dispersed. 2. promoting dispersion. mixing of inorganic pigments into polymers, or processing of thermally sensitive polymers (e.g., rigid PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. ), Haake is said to have the solution. The first circulators with fuzzy logic fuzzy logic, a multivalued (as opposed to binary) logic developed to deal with imprecise or vague data. Classical logic holds that everything can be expressed in binary terms: 0 or 1, black or white, yes or no; in terms of Boolean algebra, everything is in one set or control are now available from Haake. Self-regulating fuzzy logic control automatically manages all aspects of heating, cooling, energy and power requirements. Visitors to Haake's web site can check out the latest line of stress and rate controlled rheometers. These new units are designed to cover the widest range of applications and also offer the most diverse software available today. Haake, the official supplier of Seiko Instruments' thermal analysis equipment in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , announces the new ExStar line of thermal analysis systems on this web site. Haake also announces the introduction of the most advanced desktop capillary rheometer rhe·om·e·ter n. An instrument for measuring the flow of viscous liquids, such as blood. , the Rosand RH2000 benchtop rheometer. The Haake TechCenter, highlighted on the web site, is a novel customer support program offered free of charge to all "Platinum Plus" customer support plan members. |
