    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    @IRstuff @lucky-guesser I'm basing protein intake on 1g/lb. lean mass. I agree that 1g/lb is a bit excessive but as noted there is not real consensus on this. I'm not "seriously doing bodybuilding," just trying to maintain muscle mass and build a little strength. I consider myself more...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    EAA are those that cannot be synthesized by the body, the remainder can be broken down and rearranged as needed. A good blend of BCAA will contain the EAAs as well as others.

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    If I'm being completely honest, I'm trying to maintain a caloric deficit, so I'm trying to get protein in the morning via BCAA rather than a calorie dense meal. I also get some caffeine through this as well...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    If targeting 200g of protein daily for maintaining muscle mass. Considering that BCAAs are the building blocks of protein, can BCAAs be used to replace protein should a source of protein not be available? Assumptions: Not all proteins sources contain the same BCAA profiles. Essential...

    NEC Temperature Class

    If I have a process that requires heat tracing I need to consider the T-rating of the heat trace elements. Is there a provision to the NEC code that allows my to neglect the T-rating/classification if process temperature exceeds Auto Ignition Temperature. Taking the heart of the rule into...

    Digikey Alternatives

    I'm talking to Mouser now. Right now: piezo crystals, capacitors, resisters, probe terminals, maybe LEDS, A really basic circuit. I'm window shopping now, working with tinkercad to design the circuit.

    Digikey Alternatives

    I mean sure, I can see Digikey right up at the top of the list. If someone who has experience with a company providing no minimum quantity orders, I'd love to jump right to them rather than going fishing.

    Digikey Alternatives

    Hello all. Mechanical Engineer here. I am trying to develop some in house tooling. I am looking to perform bench testing of some ideas. I need to purchase electronic components and am looking at Digikey.com (the only distributer I have any familiarity with). A lot of these components have...

    Cement Bond Tool Construction

    Is there anyone out there who can provide visual of the internals of a CBL? How is the tool constructed beneath the slotted outer casing to prevent wave propagation along the internal components?

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    I've noticed him. He commented on my last post and i replied that i was hoping he would chime in.

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    This is for an industrial application in a novel process. What we have currently works, but I am trying to optimize the process. To give you the jist of what I am doing, and maybe I should have started here: I have a shear thinning fluid and need to optimize the piping system design. To do...

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    good to know something exists that give reliable results. I googled "German flow meter manufacturer." Of course that didn't narrow down the search very much.

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    This might not be an issue for my application. I am trying to experimentally determine Power-Law constants (n and K) at various shear rates. I need to plot the delta P vs V dot. As long as the Volumetric flow rate is off by a consistent factor, I should get the same curve, the slope of which...

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    Fully aware, Any vendor that I speak with will have an NDA. I am just trying to get an idea of the direction to go in. I don't want the legal team bombarded with 20 NDA requests when there might be a select few company (like MPI) that specialize in melt instrumentation. I assume that, as a...

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    I'm not going to be able to give any quantitative data regarding process. Clamp on because 1) It is my experience that fewer things contacting polymer melt is better. 2) I would like to be able to use the same unit on different pipe segments of different diameter. I presume ultrasonic will...

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    I was looking at this one. I didn't know there was the opportunity for testing. I've asked if my instrumentation guy has an account with them.

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    I'm just exploring, I was looking at the E+H Pierre mentioned above but that was just based on a quick google search. We've also looked at Vega Minitrac, but no everyone is comfortable with the idea of radiation. I've asked my instrumentation guy for suggestions. This is for a special project...

    High temp clamp on flow meters

    Looking for recommendations for a clamp on flow meter for polymer melt. Prefer adjustable from 1" to 4" pipe size and non nuclear.

    Non-Newtonian fluid ratholing

    I'm still not understanding the philosophy of having to overcome yield stress at the pipe wall. I don't see what's physically happening to cause the material to yield a r<R and not at r=R I would assume that if a had a pipe of infinite diameter, I would have measurable and small layer of...
