Using Laboratory Ovens for Hot Tensile Testing
Laboratory ovens often play a critical manufacturing role as integral components of hot tensile testing (HTT) systems. Product testing is crucial in this industry where safety is paramount. Recent research shows that poor specification/material selection causes many product failures (65%). General Electric’s recent recall of refrigerators…

Critical Features of Composite Curing Ovens
Composite materials are everywhere—or so it seems. From easily installed bridges to commercial aircraft to ultra-lightweight fuel-efficient vehicles, composites provide manufacturers with numerous critical benefits that can help boost competitiveness, enhance quality, and increase profitability. Composite materials make a difference in high volume and wear…
Roads Made Using Rubber from Recycled Tires Could Last Twice As Long As Regular Asphalt
Roads are frequently in need of repair. Being in an open environment, these are exposed to hot sun, and large temperature differences. As a result, cracks and potholes are often formed at the end of both the warm and cold seasons. Now researchers at Australia’s…
Scientists Puzzled by Higher Than Normal Helium-3 Levels in The Atmosphere
A new scientific study has revealed that the levels of Helium-3 in the Earth’s atmosphere are higher than expected. The isotope is supposed to be rare in nature, yet in recent years, its presence has spiked, and the origin of this hasn’t been determined yet.…
