Light-ends removal kits (LERKs) may help companies that use thermal fluid systems ensure more cost-effective, clean and safe operations.

NIST researchers have developed a method for making microfluidic devices using plastic films and double-sided tape that produces a functional apparatus in hours.

When planning routine maintenance shutdowns of thermal fluid systems, plant engineers should prepare for a smooth procedure without incident. It pays to remember that prior preparation prevents poor performance.

Where and how you take a thermal fluid sample can make all the difference in what the test results reveal.

Look, listen, smell and touch -- your senses are among the many tools at your disposal that can help you get a better sense of your thermal fluid heater or boiler.
