Laboratory Methods: Standard Tools and Techniques
The following presentations are organized to explain the fundamental methods and equipment in our labs: what they can measure, how to use these tools, the governing principles of how they work, their limitations, and the physics/math/post-processing required to go from machine output to useful data:
Cone Calorimetry- CO CO2 Detector
- Gas Chromatography
- Heat Flux Sensors
- MCC MFC Lab Methods
- Optical Thermometry
TEM and Laser Extinction Methods- Thermocouples
- Thermogravimetric Analysis and DSC
