What is 12D treatment?
The term 12D treatment refers to the application of heat to kill 1012 C. botulinum endospores. Clostridium botulinum, a heat-resistant spore-forming pathogen found in low-acid foods, is extremely harmful. It is anaerobic and has the ability to survive and multiply in a sealed container.
What is D and Z value in sterilization?
D values are the time or dose required for a 90% reduction in microbial concentration via a sterilization process. Z values measure the resistance of the microorganism to death by the sterilization source.
What is surface industry?
A surface sector is any part of your round the world trip that involves flying into and out of different airports, making your way between them by other means – over land or over water. By building in the right surface sectors you can get even more from your trip!
Why is surface engineering important?
Surface engineering provides one of the most important means of engineering product differentiation in terms of quality, performance and life-cycle cost. The surface characteristics of engineering materials have a significant effect on the serviceability and life of a component, thus it cannot be neglected in design.
What are the different categories of surface engineering?
Examples of well-established surface engineering techniques are electroplating, anodizing, surface hardening, carburizing, nitriding, thermal spraying, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and physical vapour deposition (PVD) [6].
What are the three different types of heat treatments available?
The 4 Types of Heat Treatment Steel Undergoes
- Heat Treatment Steel: Annealing.
- Heat Treatment Steel: Normalizing.
- Heat Treatment Steel: Hardening.
- Heat Treatment Steel: Tempering.
What is D and Z-value?
While the D-value gives the time needed at a certain temperature to kill 90% of the organisms, the z-value relates the resistance of an organism to differing temperatures. The z-value allows calculation of the equivalency of two thermal processes, if the D-value and the z-value are known.
