Ensuring the Structural Integrity of Reactor Vessels for Safety

Reactor vessels are the protective containment surrounding the nuclear fission core in a nuclear reactor. The vessel which is the central component of the reactor coolant system has a cylindrical shell with a spherical bottom head and a ring flange at the top. A closure head is bolted to the flange. It is typical for […]

Temperature Monitoring in Food Processing through Ashcroft Bimetal Thermometers

Temperature monitoring is clearly one of the most critical aspects in food production. There are many steps in food production where time and temperature must be monitored to control the growth of harmful microorganisms that can cause illnesses. Harmful microorganisms grow well in food between the temperatures of 41oF and 135oF. This range in temperature […]
