Industrialology #7 – Behavioral techniques: from quality control to instrumented micro-pilots
Behavioral techniques: from quality control to instrumented micro-pilots Behavioral instrumental techniques (viscosity cup, viscometer, texturometer, rheometer, tribometer, etc.) occupy a privileged place in our Industry, in that they make it possible to acquire information relating to the macroscopic scale, characteristic of industrial phenomena. Among the wide variety of devices on the market, it is often difficult to...
Industrialology #6 – Measurement standards, sources of problems?
Measurement standards, source of problems? Material transformations involve strong couplings between material and processing conditions, such that the same material or combination of materials gives rise to different products depending on the conditions. Such a particularity has multiple implications that I try to highlight and analyze...
