Weighing Balance
A weighing balance is known to be an instrument used to decide an object’s weight or mass; through weighing balance, check INK & Adhesive, Raw material, and finished goods grammage.
The measurement unit is g/m2.
Gas chromatography
Gas chromatography isolates intensify in a combination by infusing a vaporous or fluid example into a versatile stage, commonly called the transporter gas, and going the gas through a fixed stage. The portable stage is generally idle or inert gas like helium, argon, nitrogen or hydrogen.
Two types of methods are used in it:
- Solvent Analysis for checking the purity Level of Chemicals.
- Solvent Retention for Checking retains the number of solvents during printing.
Karl Fischer
Karl Fischer titration is basically a way to gauge the water content of samples. Current instruments, like the Aquamax KF, utilize the Coulometric rule, by which the water present in the example is coulometrically titrated to a predefined endpoint at which there is a slight overabundance of free iodine present. Stoichiometrically, 1 mole of water will respond with 1 mole of iodine, so 1 milligram of water rises to 10•71 coulombs of power. Joining the Coulometric strategy with Karl Fischer titration, Aquamax KF titrators decide the example’s water content by estimating how important electrolysis flow is to create the expected iodine.
Coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction is a proportion of how much friction exists between two surfaces. A low worth of the coefficient of friction demonstrates that the power expected for sliding to happen is not exactly the power required when the coefficient of contact is high.
Static COF:
It is a proportion of the power of friction between two bodies and the power squeezing them together. The coefficient of static friction is the proportion of the greatest static grinding force (F) between the surfaces in touch before development begins to the typical (N) force. Static contact shows a direct ascent up to the greatest worth when some outside force is applied. The greatness of the static contact coefficient is similar to that of kinetic friction.
Dynamic/Kinetic COF:
While kinetic friction is invariable and remains constant irrespective of the force applied.Tensile tester
The Lloyd Instrument LS5 (UTM) Tensile tester machine utilizes high accuracy, interchangeable YLC series loadcells for tension and compression testing.
Heat seal Tester
For the production of high-quality heat seals and precise measurement of heat Sealability of flexible packaging. Precise control of heat-sealing process variables (temperature, pressure, and time) enables an optimal balance of material specification, packaging machine speed and seal integrity.
WVTR (Water vapor transmission rate)
WVTR (water vapor transmission rate) is the steady-state rate at which water vapor saturates through a film at a specified temperature and relative humidity conditions.
Values are expressed in g/m2/day.
OTR (oxygen transmission rate)
OTR (oxygen transmission rate) is the steady-state rate at which oxygen gas merges through a film at a specified temperature and relative humidity conditions.
Values are expressed in cc/m2/day.
