  • Laser diffraction particle size analysis instrument Mastersizer 3000E

    Laser diffraction particle size analysis instrument
    Mastersizer 3000E

    The intensity of the scattered light is measured as the laser light passes between the dispersed particle samples, a particle size measurement is performed, the data is analyzed, and the particle size generated by the scattering pattern is calculated. If the sample is provided, measurement of particle size distribution before and after passing through the mesh can be carried out.

  • Simulation Software

    Simulation Software
    GeoDict

    It is possible to easily generate geometric shapes of various material structures that were difficult to generate with a 3D CAD system, and to simulate various material properties affected by microstructures with computer assistance. Virtual structures of various woven fabrics or mesh can be generated by inputtinh the parameters and so on. Using the obtained structure, it is possible to simulate the pressure loss and sieving efficiency when a fluid is passed through the fabric.
    The items that can be simulated are as follows.
    Structure simulation
    Pressure loss
    Filtration efficiency
    Collection efficiency
    Opening distribution

Message from OIH Team

OIH was established in October 2015 to contribute in the development of new technology and innovation by providing the expertise associating with our fine metal mesh technologies, and to become the place where people from various fields can come together.  
At OIH we also work on introducing the latest mesh used for filtration and sieving applications, and lead basic and applied research in this area.  
The equipment is placed inside a clean-room environment in the appropriate sections for their use. This enables us to go through all the processes, from screen making, printing, and analysis, in the same facility. You can use OIH not only for a training or as a screen making facility but also as a place of technical discussions where you can collect all the necessary data on-site.
We sincerely look forward to your visit and inquiries.
