We are a manufacturer of industrial ultrasonic testing equipment most commonly used in the petrochemical, aerospace, automotive, and other generally related industries. The pages that follow will provide you with general information regarding our products. If you have any questions, need technical support, or have a request for custom items, please contact us at your leisure using the information provided on this site.
Our products are commonly used to determine the thickness of a variety of materials by making contact with only one side of the material being tested. They have the ability to detect very fine pits, flaws, and porosity in materials without having to destroy the material or parts being tested. This is done by converting the transit time of a sound wave, sent into and reflecting back from a defect or opposite surface in the test material, into a length measurement. This technique uses principles similar to that of sonar.
We also manufacture a line of ultrasonic bolting equipment that very accurately measures the stress, elongation, and load in threaded fasteners. These products are typically used in critical bolting applications where extreme accuracy is needed. If you have any specific or specialized bolting applications in mind, be sure to contact us to discuss your requirements in detail.
Enjoy!

Wood has been a favorite siding material through several decades. Whether it is vertical siding like board and batten, or horizontal siding like clapboards, shakes, and shingles, there are a few species and grades that are commonly used for all applications.
Before deciding on a siding material, definitely ask questions about rot resistance, splitting, checking, or cupping. A good rule is that you should buy the best grade of siding you can afford. Look for clear grains whenever possible, and make certain that the wood acclimates on site, is properly sealed, and is thoroughly protected upon installation.
When using wood, you can choose between several materials. Most common ones are: pine, spruce, cedar, and redwood.
Pine holds a finish well, and is preferable when painting or staining horizontal siding. Spruce comes in longer lengths than pine, and has many of the same characteristics. Cedar is known for its grain and its rot resistance. It is also straight, and resists splitting very well. Redwood is a good choice for siding in all climates. It resists shrinking, so it holds its profile and keeps its joints with little warping or cupping.
Prices vary greatly and it depends on the market. Because of the fact that some woods cannot be harvested as quickly as others, the supply is naturally lower and this results as higher price for some types of wood.

A new catalyst based on iron works as well as platinum-based catalysts for accelerating the chemical reactions inside hydrogen fuel cells. The finding could help make fuel cells for electric cars cheaper and more practical.
Fuel cell researchers have been looking for cheaper, more abundant alternatives to platinum, which costs between $1,000 and $2,000 an ounce and is mined almost exclusively in just two countries: South Africa and Russia. One promising catalyst that uses far less expensive materials--iron, nitrogen, and carbon--has long been known to promote the necessary reactions, but at rates that are far too slow to be practical.
Now researchers at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Quebec have dramatically increased the performance of this type of iron-based catalyst. Their material produces 99 amps per cubic centimeter at 0.8 volts, a key measurement of catalytic activity. That is 35 times better than the best nonprecious metal catalyst so far, and close to the Department of Energy's goal for fuel-cell catalysts: 130 amps per cubic centimeter. It also matches the performance of typical platinum catalysts, says Jean-Pol Dodelet, a professor of energy, materials, and telecommunications at INRS who led the work.
The improvement, reported in the latest issue of the journal Science, is "quite surprising," says Radoslav Adzic, a senior chemist at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY, who also develops catalysts for fuel cells. The new material meets a benchmark for hydrogen fuel cells set five years ago that "we thought nobody would ever meet," adds Hubert Gasteiger, a visiting professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. "For the very first time, a nonprecious metal catalyst makes sense."
The INRS researchers' key insight was finding a way to increase the number of active catalytic sites within the material--with more sites for chemical reactions, the overall rate of the reactions in the material increases. In previous work, the researchers had shown that heating carbon black (a powdery form of carbon similar to graphite) to high temperatures in the presence of ammonia and iron acetate created gaps in the carbon that are just a few atoms wide. Nitrogen atoms bind to opposite sides of these tiny gaps, and an iron ion bridges these atoms, forming an active site for catalysis.Add Scanning Capabilites to Your Huntron Tracker Model 30 System
Adding
a Huntron® Scanner to your Tracker Model 30 system lets you access components
using standard DIP clips and cables, custom cables to PCB connectors or
interface to a bed-of-nails.You can compare one component with another in
real-time (64 pins max.) or use your PC to automate testing and scan up to 128
pins.Huntron Scanners can be used with a Huntron Access Prober to provide Common
line connections while the Prober is probing a PCB. This method gives you up to
128 selectable Commons to use. For example, you can connect the Scanner to a
connector on a PCB mounted in the Prober using a common ribbon style cable.
While the Prober is probing, any one of the lines on the connected ribbon cable
can be selected as the Common reference. This would provide you true
point-to-point testing capabilities.Note: The ProTrack Scanner will be replaced
by the Scanner II and/or the Scanner 31S effective 1/1/2008. This applies to
commercial sales only.Scanner II and Scaner 31S users may want to consider these
Optional Accessories to enhance their test
