PDP (Pressure Dew Point) is the temperature at which pressurized gases condense, for instance in a compressed air system. As the gas pressure rises, so does the dew-point temperature. The point of condensation of water vapor in the gas is determined by both the absolute moisture content (in units) and the gas pressure.

ION Science’s benzene-specific Titan, as the leading continuous benzene gas detector, is fast and accurate with monitoring down to 0.1 ppm, providing the best protection against benzene exposure with minute-to-m...
Contrary to what some might think, compressed air is not free. In fact, for what it takes to produce it, to what is generated it is often considered the most expensive utility in a typical manufacturing facility. Air Compressor experts have also estimated that as much as 30% of the compressed air generated is lost via leaks in the compressed air system.
A confectionery manufacuturer refines dairy products. The dust-laden exhaust air produced during the manufacturing process is cleaned in the extraction system by industrial filter systems. When the limit value is reached, a dangerous dust atmosphere is to be prevented by early warning. A calibratable dust monitor shall continuously monitor the clean gas side according to...
Many of the same issues keep coming up, in one form or another. So, we have decided to put together a whitepaper that addresses the most common requests for information and explanation. This is particularly topical because there is a lot of confusion resulting from recent changes in key international standards. The whitepaper starts by explaining what is meant by sol...
In solar energy there are a number of international standards to consider when it comes to PV plant operation and maintenance. Some of these also apply in the earlier phases of design, procurement and construction. The standards and levels selected for a solar project also influence the products required to monitor solar irradiance and environmental conditions. To help ...
Vibrational spectroscopy is a well-established, powerful tool for polymer characterization. In this application note, we’ll explore how aqueous based water-soluble polymers(10-20% solids) can be rapidly and easily measured using the i-Raman EX portable Raman spectrometer.
As display resolutions increase, imaging systems are challenged to continue to provide accurate pixel-level measurements while applying increasingly limited relative imaging resolution during single-image analysis (necessary for production efficiency). A fractional pixel registration and measurement method improves the accuracy of pixel-level values measured by standard-...
Designed for refineries and petrochemical environments, the robust Titan monitors benzene in real-time, providing the ultimate device for plant and worker safety. Titan incorporates ION Science’s market-leading patented photoionization detection (PID) sensor technology with proven resistance to humidity and contamination with no need to compensate, ensuring optimal perfo...
This in-depth white paper will review the importance of MAP packaging - especially in the food industry, and answer frequent questions such as "when should you use MAP?" and "how often should it be tested?". We will also review MAP regulations, traceability, and basic QA/QC procedures for MAP manufacturers.
Dr. Brady Carter explains in his video: "Let's be Honest" which methods are currently used to analyze the aW value of products. These methods include resistive electrolytic sensors, dew point, diode lasers and capacitive sensors. He relentlessly demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of each method using six criteria that are essential for the decision-making proc...
The Jablonski diagram is widely used in fluorescence spectroscopy to illustrate the excited states of a molecule and the radiative and non-radiative transitions that can occur between them.
In recent years, R&D and QC specialists in pharmaceutical industry are paying more and more attention to the seal integrity of pharmaceutical packages. Package integrity testing, as one safety requirement for pharmaceutical packages specified both in USP 1207 and China GMP for sterile pharmaceuticals 2015, aims to study the water, oxygen or microorganism penetration a...
In this post we discuss how to identify the presence of Raman scattering during fluorescence measurements and how to prevent this scattering from distorting fluorescence emission spectra.
The terms; luminescence, photoluminescence, fluorescence and phosphorescence are routinely used in research papers to describe the emission of light from a sample. In this article we answer the question, “What is the Difference between Luminescence, Photoluminescence, Fluorescence, and Phosphorescence”.
Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) is a well established and common technique for fluorescence lifetime measurements, it is also becoming increasingly important for photon migration measurements, optical time domain reflectometry measurements and time of flight measurements.
INTRODUCTION: Many instruments include the ability to be controlled via a remote connection to a computer using an Ethernet connection. In many cases, these instruments require a special software library that can help establish and maintain the communications link between the instrument and controlling computer. This can be annoying for a few reasons… the software l...
Gravimetric method W3/031 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester is used by one of chineses biscuit manufacurer to test the WVTR property of their composite materials, which is used extensively in biscuit industry. It is quite important for the biscuit manufacturer to control the moisture barrier property of the biscuit packages to ensure their products quality and shelf l...
