    running two stroke enginge (yamaha scooter) with fuel-alcohol blend?

    Hi patprimmer, I try to answer the questions above. First the blend: I don't know what went wrong in my head (I was totally wrong!), but the blend they sell here in germany is a mixture of 85% Ethanol and 15% unleaded fuel with 95 ocante. - The fuel lines seem to be ECO or NBR (very cheap one...

    running two stroke enginge (yamaha scooter) with fuel-alcohol blend?

    Hi there, has someone experience in running a two stroke enginge (yamaha scooter) with a fuel-alcohol blend? (85% unleaded fuel/15% Ethanol) I think the lubrication could be a problem. I also ask myself if the fuel lines can take it. Thanks hacki

    viscosity of polyamide after heat-aging

    No, no student post. "Material-lab tester for initial samples-post" We must make such tests according to customer-specifications in the automotive industry. Though we are a traditional elastomeric components company we have more and more plastics in our products and sometimes we must ask these...

    viscosity of polyamide after heat-aging

    Thanks to you for your answers and ideas. I think the "crosslink and oxidation -thing" is a possible answer. The water absorbtion is definetly not the reason because we measured the amount of volatile components in the material before the "Visco-Test". (Before visco-testing the original material...

    viscosity of polyamide after heat-aging

    I have noticed a "strange" behaviour of a molded PA12 GF30 part. The viscosity of the material after heat storage 1000h/150°C is higher than the original value. Normally the molecules should be damaged and as a result of this effect the viscosity should be lower. The viscosity was measured with...

    Latex Substitutes

    Look for "Liquid" Silicone rubber LSR. These silicon rubbers have to components that are mixed togehter and then are vulcanized by injection moulding. Most key pads e.g. in cellular phones are made of this material. It also has the advantage that it does not cause allergies. You can have a...

    Blooming Rubber

    Mabe you never get clean parts. The thing is that rubber-compounds often have chemicals for ozone-resistance or UV-resistance that must bloom out of the surface to protect the parts. Greetings hacki72

    TENSILE TEST, A5 ELONGATION

    What kind of test do you mean? For plastics, rubber, steel, paper? There are so many options. Do you have a specific Specification where this A5 Elongation appears? Best regards hacki

    Cutting Natural Rubber or Silicone Rubber Wiper Blade

    Wiper blades are extruded and in most cases they use EPDM-rubber because of its stability against ozone and other environmental influences. It is a co-extrusion method where they extrude a hard compound and as oft compound together. -hacki

    Calculation of Leak rate

    Hi, I need to calculate a helium leak test rate from mbar*l/sec. in cm³/min. I tried to find something "easy" like a table or something due to my leak of knowledge according gas dynamics and such things. Can someone help?? Thanks hacki
