DetailsStent/Graft Testers (SGT)
The NEW DuraPulse™ Stent/Graft test (SGT) instrument extends the performance and reliability that ElectroForce SGTs have become known for over the past 20 years. Still utilizing proprietary high-bandwidth, low-distortion ElectroForce actuator technology to provide best-in-class performance, the DuraPulse SGT incorporates a modular manifold design that allows the user to easily change out manifold and tube sets to optimize sample throughput for various stented device sizes. An enhanced software user interface is easier to use and includes inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) radial strain calculations, improved strain control modes, and simplified data acquisition.
DetailsSteady State and Light Flash Methods for Measuring Thermal Diffusivity and Thermal Conductivity
Overview The ability of a material to store and transfer heat is characterized with the material properties of thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity. Understanding these properties is critical when exposing a material to a wide array of temperature environments: large gradients, rapid changes, and maintaining stability, to name a few. Accurate…
DetailsSteady State & Flash Methods for Thermal Diffusivity and Thermal Conductivity Determination
Overview In this presentation we will demonstrate accurate and high-throughput methods to measure the critical heat transfer properties of thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity. Direct and indirect methods provide suitable measurements for a wide variety of materials – including polymers, ceramics, carbons, graphite, composites, glasses, metals, and alloys – and at temperatures from -150°C…
