Spray washers typically use flat spray pattern (V-Jet) nozzles to maximize impingement in the cleaning stage. V- Jet nozzles are available in various flow rates and spray angles at a given nozzle pressure.

The electrical contact resistance between two fastener components is a key quality parameter, especially when the bolted joints carry electrical current. If the resistance is too high, heat is generated between the elements. In vehicles, for example, this can lead to malfunctions or even trigger fires. In response to this problem, Kistler is adding the OhmBox to its tried-and-tested ANALYSE friction coefficient test stand. Users of the new OhmBox can measure electrical resistance while fastening is actually in progress. This enables developers to define optimal tightening parameters – so they can design safe and reliable current-carrying bolted joints.

Engineers may add a device to their vibration control setup to perform an independent measurement.
