Argon Gas, 3D Printing, and How to Stay Safe
For the average person, Argon gas is not a topic of daily conversation, or, for that matter, any conversation, ever. It may be surprising to learn that argon is the third most common gas in the earth’s atmosphere, though most people know little about it. The word argon itself comes from a Greek word meaning ‘inactive’ because of its lack of chemical reactions. Argon is ...

Oxygen Monitors for the New Millennium
Oxygen monitors have become a required piece of safety equipment for many industrial and laboratory environments, where the release of certain toxics can create an area unsafe for living beings (human or animal). When making a purchasing decision on any oxygen detection monitor, one need look no further than the sensor cell found at the heart of the monitor. While each oxygen deficiency monitor ...

Why the use of a CO2 monitor may not be the best solution for protecting workers against leaks from beverage dispensing systems in the fast food industry
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary compressed gas used for dispensing beverages at fast food chains. This gas is also used in restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores. When CO2 leaks into a confined space or basement, it creates a very unsafe environment for employees because it lowers the concentration of breathable oxygen. History seems to repeat itself all too often while dealing ...

Cryotherapy is Cool
Cryotherapy is a real facet of medical treatment that uses extremely low temperatures to help with pain and inflammation. Not to be confused with cryopreservation, in cryotherapy the patients are only subjected to the cold for minutes. It seems like something futuristic, but it is actually an increasingly common treatment among athletes to replace ice baths and ice pack therapies. More ...

PureAire Oxygen (O2) Monitor Used in MRI Rooms Around The World
In the early 1980’s, there were 12 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines in use. Today, there are approximately 25,000 around the globe. One item in common is their use of Helium. Liquid Helium is most often associated with party balloons and funny voices, but 20% of the world supply of this super-cooled gas is used in MRI equipment. Liquid helium is extremely cold (-450°F), which ...

Thermal Vacuum Chambers: A Must Have for Space Exploration
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space, thus ushering in the Space Age. Since then, over 8,000 satellites have been launchedfrom more than 50 countries. According to Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, at the end of 2021 there were around 5,000 active satellites in orbit. In addition to all of those ...

Helium and MRI Rooms Around the World
Helium gas is something most people feel fairly familiar with. Children are enthralled with the magical beauty of a floating balloon, watching it reach toward the sky and hoping not to lose their grip on the string. Helium feels safe, and while people surround themselves with flying wonders filled with this lightweight gas, the real magic of helium is taking place in MRI rooms across the ...

Monitoring the oxygen transfer efficiency of full-scale aeration systems: investigation method and experimental results
This paper reports the results of a series of off-gas tests aimed at monitoring the evolution of the oxygen transfer efficiency in an urban wastewater treatment plant (3,500 population equivalent) located in Tuscany (Italy). The tests were conducted over a 2-year period starting with the testing of the aeration system. It was found that in the absence of membrane-panel cleaning operations, the ...

Monitoring Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide in Dive Tanks
I'm convinced of the benefit of analyzing tanks for O2 percentage and the presence of CO (carbon monoxide). On my last dive trip I found that my Cootwo was giving really wonky readings (O2 randomly off by 5~10%, despite having a good sensor, recent calibration, etc) and the CO sensor was due for replacement/calibration. With Divenav out of business (or at least, out of the business of hardware ...
