Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

The justifications for the proposed changes to large bank regulatory capital requirements in the so-called “Basel III end-game” Notice of Proposed Rulemaking are schizophrenic. Regulators argue that ...

In the first round of testing, involving 60 measurements (six samples x five repeat tests x two rounds), an initial review of the results indicated that one sample consistently performed better than ...

Bioseparation life sciences and HPLC applications cannot tolerate test uncertainty. A bioinert sampling flow path is critical for consistent bioseparations in medical diagnostics and HPLC studies.

Completing a power plant’s start-up and commissioning usually means pushing the prime contractor to wrap up the remaining punch list items and getting the new operators trained. Staffers are tired of ...

The uncertainty principle states that we cannot know the state of a system with arbitrary precision. Now the uncertainty relation between angular momentum and position has been measured in an ...

With today's applications requiring lower and lower noise-figure amplifiers, noise-source uncertainty becomes a bigger and bigger concern. Microwave modeling software ...

In the test and measurement industry, two distinct camps exist: those who favor vector network analyzers (VNA) and those who favor time domain reflectometers (TDR). Each camp relies heavily upon its ...
