Spectroscopy vs. Spectrometry – What’s the Difference in OES?
Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) uses a lot of terms, and occasionally some of them are inaccurately used interchangeably. Though there are certain similarities, spectroscopy and spectrometry are not the same thing. To better understand the difference between them,...Why Renting OES Equipment Can Be Beneficial
Need PMI testing and want to do it in house but don’t want to spend the money to purchase an instrument? The decision to invest in OES instruments or to rent is not a decision made quickly. Besides identifying exactly what type of testing you require and match that to...Why OBLF Spectrometers?
Spectrometers are an investment that most companies want to get right the first time, so it is not something you are likely to reach a decision on in a single sitting.It will take time and research, as well as the comparison of a number of different models and...What is Carbon Equivalent?
Metal alloys are composed of a variety of elements, each having its impact on the properties and performance of the alloy. Carbon equivalent (CE) is an important factor to consider when selecting an alloy for a specific application. To discuss Carbon Equivalency, we...Field PMI for C,P & S is a Challenge
Laboratory OES can easily detect Carbon, Phosphorus and Sulfur with-in metal alloys. Take the Lab OES technology and put it in a mobile package and the results will vary. What creates this variance? Sensitivity to Vibration Laboratory and Mobile OES instruments use an...
