The charpy test, izod test and other impact testing determines material toughness or impact strength in the presence of a flaw or notch and fast loading conditions. This destructive test involves fracturing a notched specimen and measuring the amount of energy absorbed by the material during fracture.
LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTING. Liquid scintillation counting is an analytical technique which is defined by the incorporation of the. radiolabeled analyte into uniform distribution with a liquid chemical medium capable of converting. the kinetic energy of nuclear emissions into light energy. Although the liquid scintillation counter. is a sophisticated laboratory counting system used the quantify the activity of particulate emitting. (Ã and a) radioactive samples, it can also detect the auger electrons emitted from 51Cr and 125I. samples.
