Metal Passivation

Metal passivation chemically treats metal to reduce its surface chemical reactivity. Reducing surface chemical reactivity helps inhibit corrosion in metal objects. In this article, you’ll learn about the benefits of…

Molar Absorptivity

Molar absorptivity is the measure of how well an object absorbs radiation that the object is in contact with. Molar absorptivity is integral to Beer-Lambert law which relates absorbance, absorptivity,…

Fracture Toughness

Fracture toughness is a physical property of matter. It describes the resistance of the material to fracture while it has cracks.  It is different than simple toughness which is defined…

HAZOP – Process and Methods

A hazop study is a powerful, systematic, and structured methodology that helps in identifying potential hazards and/or problems with plant operability. Hazop stands for hazard and operability study. The hazop…
