Recent Articles & Case Studies
Why Your Hot Air Tool Needs Airflow
Inside every Leister hot air tool is a heating element composed of a ceramic honeycomb supported resistance wire filament (See below). Electric resistance wire heaters work on the principle that when electrical current passes through a conductor heat is generated, and the amount of heat generated is related to the resistance of the conductor.
Why you Can’t Measure Air Temperature with a Laser IR Gun and a Simple, Effective Alternative
While Laser IR Thermometers are an extremely common tool, they are entirely ineffective for measuring the outlet temperature of an air heater. To understand why, we must first understand how this tool works. Laser IR Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object by measuring the thermal energy emitted by the target. Knowing the amount of thermal energy discharged and the emissivity of an object’s surface, the objects temperature can be determined by the device.
Resilient Floor Welding Process with Leister
Before welding, the seam edges must be milled or grooved to approx. 2/3 of the thickness of the material. The welding rod is then welded into the groove to create a strong bond. It is important that the welding rod fully penetrates the milled groove otherwise the seam may fail prematurely.
Regular vs. Narrow Slot Speed Welding Nozzles
Our speed welding nozzles come in two varieties: regular and narrow slot. This often leads to confusion. The designation of ‘regular’ and ‘narrow’ refers to the air outlet at the end of the nozzle.
Electrical Certification for use in Canada: Recognizing Certification and Why it’s Important
Electrical certification is a must for any electrical tools bought, sold, or used in Canada. Tools must be tested by an accredited certification organization to determine that they meet the applicable safety standards and adhere to the Canadian Electrical Code. The Standards Council of Canada handles the accreditation of inspection bodies and together with provincial Safety Authorities oversees enforcement.
