Non-Contact IR Analysis simplifies on line quality control

A new method of mid-infrared analysis allows on-line monitoring of both the composition as well as physical properties of a plastic while it is being compounded or extruded. Up to now, mid IR spectroscopy was limited to use in the laboratory and only for gases. The new technique, Transient Infrared Spectroscopy (TIRS), developed at the Ames Laboratory, a U.S. Dept. of Energy Lab, performs non-contact, real-time monitoring of solid or melt-phase process streams. This new system (TIRS) is simple to assemble from off the shelf components, using either a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer or a non-dispersive IR detector.
