Testing the Effectiveness of Baking Soda Media Blasting for Cleaning fungal contamination in Buildings
identification. Mold Testing Results. In my aerobiology lab, I, Daniel Friedman, examined the tape samples using a light microscope and appropriate slide preparation methods. Dennis and I had agreed on the time, type and location of surface samples to be collected during the project. My own research

Use of Infrared Imaging Techniques to Understand and Quantify Expanded Polymer Molding Operations and Part Quality (.pdf)
energy be delivered into the mold and a that precise amount be removed within a molding cycle. Accomplishing this "energy balance" is critical in molding good quality parts. Out of balance molding cycles result in lower molded part quality and excessive energy use. These two factors are intertwined

The Effect of Process Characteristics on Metal Fill and Defect Formation in Aluminum Lost Foam castings
density. The pre-expanded beads are then blown into a mold cavity where they are heated with steam to further expand and fuse together as they form the desired shape. The steam used in the molding process is supplied to the cavity by way of holes positioned throughout the mold. The steam is typically

Infrared Thermography: Use in Intrusive Investigations
and ceilings and mold may be present but not visible on surface materials. Destructive testing methods are usually necessary for identification and evaluation of various hidden conditions. For those looking to minimize the use and cost of destructive testing, Infrared Thermography is an effective

Material and Process Selection, Controlling the Stretch, Industry Standards
with the design and construction of a precision machined steel mold. This mold, or tool, consists of two or more steel plates into which the rubber is placed or injected. These plates are exposed to heat and pressure to cure the part. The exact mix of time, temperature and pressure depends on the molding

The Use of Infrared Thermal Imaging in Indoor Environmental Investigations
Infrared thermal imaging has been increasingly used to identify wet building materials that can be sources of mold growth and degraded indoor environmental quality. However, IR is also an important tool in the evaluation of HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) systems, which

It wasn't until the last 15-20 years that the blinders have been dropped, and controlled environments are literally being subjected to microscopic scrutiny. Microsoft Word
