Restoration Success and the Preservation of Monuments

13 Nov 2015

Natural stones are considered the oldest building materials of mankind. Due to the diversity of the basic building blocks and minerals, they are considered a durable building material with their superior aesthetic and robust structural-physical characteristics. With risen environmental pollution worldwide in the last centuries and the associated weather factors, the damage to the natural stones and therefore the damage to historic basic structures of buildings also increased. The aspect of the physical examinations enables a possible original composition of the grain size curve, an exact conclusion about the materials to be used and aggregates. In this application, learn how natural materials can be processed using Fritsch instruments.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mechanical TestingMechanical testing explores the elastic and inelastic nature of a material when force is applied. A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD). Find the best mills, sieves and presses in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.AggregationParticle Size AnalysisParticle size analysis describes the size distributions from sub-nanometer to millimeter of particulate samples. Size is an important physical property and the technique is often utilized in a range of industries, such as chemical, environmental and agriculture.GrindingMillingMilling is the process of grinding, crushing, or cutting materials into smaller parts. In scientific research, it plays a crucial role in sample preparation for analysis in areas such as food, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
