Abstract: A system and method for non-destructive, in situ, positive material identification of a pipe selects three test areas that are separated axially and circumferentially from one another and then polishes a portion of each test area. Within each polished area, a non-destructive test device is used to collect mechanical property data and another non-destructive test device is used to collect chemical property data. An overall mean for the mechanical property data, and for the chemical property data, is calculated using at least two data collection runs. The means are compared to a known material standard to determine, at a high level of confidence, ultimate yield strength and ultimate tensile strength within +/−10%, a carbon percentage within +/−25%, and a manganese percentage within +/−20% of a known material standard.

Abstract: A spectrometry instrument with exchangeable accessories (34, 48, 50, 52) providing, for example, different sample presentation facilities. The accessories include a manually operable cam-lock facility (54, 68) for quick and easy attachment of an accessory to the instrument. The instrument also includes an electrical circuit (86-90), which is completed by a circuit portion (100) in an accessory when the accessory is attached to the instrument, for generating a unique identifying voltage (94) to thereby identify that accessory. This allows for automatic loading in a controlling computer of programs for setting up and running the instrument for measurement regimes using that accessory. The spectrometry instrument is preferably a spectrophotometer used for phosphorescence decay measurements in which sequential phosphorescence emission measurements data from each of a number of excitation cycles applied to a sample are taken and then reassembled into a correct time sequence to define a phosphorescence decay characteristic for the sample, that is, measured data points from a second (and subsequent) excitation cycle are interleaved with those from a first excitation cycle. This significantly reduces the time for establishing a phosphorescence decay characteristic.

Abstract: A spectrometry instrument, e.g., for time-resolved spectroscopy, has quick-change exchangeable accessories (48, 50, 52) which are manually attached via rotation of a camming means to engage and lock a stud member. A circuit element in each accessory (48, 50, 52), such as a resistor or a configured pin connection, acts to generate a voltage in the instrument that uniquely identifies which accessory is attached. A method for measuring a phosphorescence decay characteristic includes applying an excitation pulse to a sample (34); obtaining emission intensity data for a sequence of time delays following the excitation pulse; repeating for at least one further excitation pulse using a different sequence of time delays; and interleaving the data from different excitation pulses to construct a decay characteristic.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe, such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode.
