Simple IR analyzer checks nylon layer in film. (Keeping Up with Auxiliaries).A new portable infrared analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer) 1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. is designed for direct thickness measurements of nylon barrier layers in plastic films--even when the layer is as thin as 0.01 mil An Internet address domain name for a military agency.

Norwalk, Conn., completes its analysis in under a minute and eliminates the use of potentially hazardous solvents. It is also said to be a fraction of the cost of a standard FTIR FTIR Fourier Transform Infrared (spectroscopy) FTIR Frustrated Total Internal Reflection FTIR Fourier Transfer Ir spectrometer spectrometer Device for detecting and analyzing wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, commonly used for molecular spectroscopy; more broadly, any of various instruments in which an emission (as of electromagnetic radiation or particles) is spread out according to some . The device is a fixed-filter mid-IR analyzer with a 333.3-cm filter/detector--an absorption wavelength that is unique to nylon. This enables the nylon to be measured without removing the surrounding plastic layers. A sample of the film is put into a standard card holder and placed in the analyzer. With the IR source on one side and the filter/detector on the other side, the IR absorbance absorbance /ab·sor·bance/ (-sor´bans) 1. in analytical chemistry, a measure of the light that a solution does not transmit compared to a pure solution. Symbol . 2. is measured by transmission. This compact device measures 6.5 x 6.5 x 5 in., weighs less than 5 lb, and utilizes only 12V of DC power. Tel: (203) 855-9136, www.wilksir.com |
