Centrifuge Rotor Questions...

chriswrightcycles

All,

I'm calling on the collective wisdom of my peers here on ChefSteps. I am soon to be the proud owner of a used IEC centrifuge that should serve me well for most of my culinary projects. While the machine seems to be in great physical condition, I thought it might be wise to have the rotor tested for stress fractures before putting it to use. Has anyone here attempted to do this? If so, where did you go for this service? Someone on eGullet suggested having the rotor x-ray'd but I predict that I would be scoffed at If I rolled up to my local hospital with the rotor tucked under my arm.

Thoughts or suggestions?

-Chris

presumably a lb company offers these services? Dilling group I think is one?

Let us know how you make out.....I've been eying some of the lab auctions. :-)

What speed are you planning spinning at? If it's relatively low g, then I would't worry. But if you're up in the 10,000+ rcf range, you should reach out to IEC and ask for the name of a local support technician who could do the inspection.

Thanks Chris.

The current rotor max's out at 4500xg.
