Material Matters

Spectrographic has it's own brand series of metallurgical equipment, this includes the popular OmegaPress 2 mounting press. The OmegaPress 2 Metallurgical mounting press  offers a fully automatic sample encapsulation system for thermosetting and thermoplastic hot mounting resins making it the ideal choice for sample preparation. The electro-hydraulic unit requires only single phase and water to complete the mounting cycle. Cycle times are set to 7 mins. The slider closure allows easy ejection of samples when the automatic mounting cycle is complete. The closure can be lifted for maintenance such as changing the cylinder size, this takes less than a couple of minutes. Our engineer, has recorded, his own Oscar winning performance on how to set up and operate the OmegaPress 2. Sit back, get a coffee and enjoy Philip at his best..... What did you think to the performance, please feel free to write a review. Also, for further reading there is the specification ...

These are available on our website , but you can see them here too. The SonoDur is a portable hardness tester that offers fast and accurate measurement readings on site and for control of production heat treatment.  The UCI hardness tester system is recommended when laboratory hardness testers cannot be used.

Spectrographic has enjoyed the company of Dr Manfred Tietze from Newsonic.  On their final night Paul and Manfred went out for fish and chips at the Chevin at Menston, West Yorkshire, with its amazing back drops and scenery. Using the portable fork "hardness tester" to check the chips.  Chips met the spec and the fish was great too.  The laughter has certainly been flying this week, with this business partnership. "Just for the record, we test metals using portable or classical hardness testers." says Spectrographic's Managing Director, Paul Chippendale. Thanks for your help Manfred from Newsonic .
