T Bur Associates is a manufacturing company making scientific instruments for monitoring production processes.  We use company developed technology and expertise to design and construct instruments that are based on dielectric, optical, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultrasonics and rheology concepts.  Our instruments are designed to measure physical properties of materials in real-time as they are processed, including:

 

  • dielectric properties
  • dielectric measurements
  • dielectric spectroscopy
  • dielectric relaxation
  • fluorescence spectroscopy
  • optical transmission
  • fluorescence based temperature
  • fluorescence based temperature profiles
  • ultrasonic velocity
  • viscosity
  • thermodynamic and equation of state properties
  • rheology
  • optical fiber sensor technology

 

Industrial and R&D applications to polymer process monitoring, materials compounding and chemical mixing are special interests of T Bur Associates.  Our newest instrument is the dielectric slit die, an on-line multi-functional sensor system, which is shown in the picture below



 



The dielectric slit die is shown attached to a twin screw extruder during the compounding of nylon 6 with clay.  With this instrument dielectric, optical and rheological properties of the processed resin can be obtained in real-time.  The collection of data from several sensors yields a multi-faceted picture of resin physical properties and process information.
