How sigma test is helping meet the Solar power target of India

Checking the soil's thermal resistivity tests the soil's ability to conduct or discharge heat. For designing and installing underground pipelines and transmission cables, the correct understanding of the thermal properties of soil or layer of rendered ground is necessary to prevent premature failures. The current provided by a subterranean power cable can dissipate the heat properly.

And that is why Sigma is all ready to help provide its clients with Solar Thermal Resistivity Test to meet the Solar Power Target of India.

What does Sigma do –

1.       Assists in the planning and construction of underwater pipelines.

2.       Prevents the build-up of heat across power transmission cables.

3.  Measures the heat dissipation properties of the earth in preparation for pipeline construction.

4.      Calculates the best cable requirements for the ground conditions in the region.

5.  Determines when in-situ ground must be replaced with thermal back-fill cable bedding.

It is in the area of Thermal Resistivity Monitoring where we excel, assisting clients in saving time and resources by specialized on-site and laboratory research.

Thermal resistance testing may be done on natural soils or specially built quarried materials. It determines the thermal properties of a material and how well it conducts/resists heat.

When testing natural soils, samples are obtained from various sites and dried and analyzed to determine the thermal resistivity versus moisture content relationship. If the native soil surrounding a cable partly dries out under cable working temperatures, this dried-out curve comes in handy.

Based on the type of the substance and the quality specifications, a range of approaches may be used to measure quarry materials for thermal suitability as cable backfill or bedding.

Operation of the Survey

Before the installation of a cable, soil thermal resistivity testing is usually performed. Testing should ideally take place at the installation's proposed cover depth. For many years, the thermal resistivity of porous materials has been measured using transient line heat source methods. Typically, a portable unit is used and consists of a needle with a heater and temperature sensor inside that meets IEEE 442 and ASTM 5334 requirements. A current is transmitted through the heater after the probe is placed into the ground to a given depth.

To generate power, the solar farm's network of electrical cables and conduit generates a tremendous amount of heat.

This heat must be able to dissipate safely in the materials covering the cables, so the material properties surrounding the conduit must be correct.

Sigma’sgeotechnical team takes soil gathered on-site and replicates field conditions in the lab, compacting the soil sample to the same conditions as building soil. This procedure aids in the selection of the proper conduit/cabling device and guarantees that engineers can build the design to the material's optimum degree of compaction.

Furthermore, Sigma uses a variety of compaction ratios to get to a point where they feel the cabling device can fulfill the designer's target specifications.

Sigma thrives on the motto and is known for ‘going the extra mile,' constantly searching for innovation and opportunities to improve research and help clients save money during renovation.

Reusing natural material in the earth during cabling construction is the most cost-effective - and also the most environmentally sustainable - choice. Sigma uses their experience and scientific skills to identify the most suitable materials, assisting clients in maximizing productivity and effectiveness.

Sigma has a broad range of thermal conductivity monitoring services for a variety of sample sizes and temperatures. The cost of conducting thermal conductivity is determined by a variety of factors.

What is RoHS and why is it important? RoHS compliance guide

We all care about our environment but why only concentrate on plastic or other regular elements? Do you know how hazardous electronics can be? Electronics can be equally harmful to the environment as plastic because they are manufactured using various chemicals and metals. So, how can we control the impacts of electronic products on the environment? Thanks to RoHS which took the initiative and responsibility of making companies produce environmentally friendly products worldwide.  What is RoHS? RoHS, or Restriction of Hazardous Substances, as the name suggests, is an act that steps forward to restrict the usage of harmful elements and making an impact on the entire electronics industry along with many electrical goods. The act was initiated by the European Union in the year 2002 where it was first named Directive 2002/95/EC. Further, the main aim of this act is to stop the usage of six detrimental elements in the production of electronic products. Thus, since 2006 July, every

Scratch Hardness Test

By understanding the needs of the customers, we, at Sigma Test and Research Centre , provide services that can help them to know their product’s level hardness and delicacy through high equipped scratch hardness test. Scratch mechanism is something that cannot be ignored and found everywhere where one might not even expect. Therefore, the scratch test has been the best and most convenient thing since ages that determines the hardness of the product in which machines are used with different minerals that can be a diamond or gypsum depending upon the hardness. How the test is performed? We follow various fundamental characteristics and standard in our tests which helps us obtain the best and most accurate results about the quality. Similarly, in the scratch hardness test, we perform the test on the specimen by scratching it with various materials. A specific load is set at which the needle penetrates the surface back and forth. The condition of the surface is noted before and

Uses of Thermal Conductivity Testing?

To predict the expected life and to design the ceramic thermal coatings (TBC), there is a need for understanding the thermal conductivity and the reactions in the presence of heat. We are using the guarded hot plate method to test and measure the temperature. Analyzing the thermal capabilities include: Crystalline Melt Temperature  Endothermic Effects  Thermal Phase Change Flashpoint Testing  Coefficient of Thermal Expansion Glass Transition Temperature Exothermic Effects  Oxidative Stability Studies  Thermal Formulation Stability   Flammability Testing of Materials  Microscopy of Thermal Processes  Thermal Stability  Thermal Analysis of other materials. What is the reliability on the quality of thermal conductivity measurement? We developed the traceable reference materials. They are adapted to the needles which are used for the thermal resistance measurement. Material characterization : Paint is
