Recently for another business of mine (a high tech manufacturing firm), we fabricated a custom machine for a client, that treated a special type of fabric with a nanotechnology.
As part of the process, the fabric enters a dip tank, and then that is where the nanotechnology is inserted into the fabric. The fabric continues moving through the machine, where it is carefully dried and inspected and rolled back up again.
Neat machine!
When we went to specify the dip tank, we had lots of factors to consider: the properties of the dip liquid, width of the machine, volume of the tank, the height of the tank, and the process by which the fabric could enter and dwell in the tank before leaving.
We purchased a tank that was actually primarily a fuel tank, because it fit all the factors above. And although we had to cut the top off, on the top was a the tank nameplate. The nameplate had all the information that you would need: dimensions, volume, material, company name, etc.
The tank nameplate also had a list of all the different manufacturing and quality assurance steps that the tank went through, including drilling, vacuuming, and a final inspection.
At Global Energy Labs, we also have this “checklist” of steps that your sample goes through, should you hire us to do testing for you:
* sample arrival and login, and notifying you, should you request it
* careful sample preparation, which might include crushing of ore, washing of sand, and scrubbing of sand in some cases
* testing using calibrated equipment, in accordance with procedures, and performed by experienced personnel
* helpful report notes, including WHY the test is important and HOW it was performed
