1.2 Brief Description of Equipment
The Falex 430 ETR test machine is designed to offer consistent, precise, analytical measurement of
ASTM D3241 heater tube deposits. It incorporates a laser light source optical detection system for
measuring the ellipsometric parameters, a tube handling assembly with an automatic alignment
system and computer driven software for analyzing the ellipsometric data for ASTM D3241 heater
tube rating.
The following safety features are incorporated into the machine:
•
The laser and all laser paths are fully enclosed in a protective housing designed to prevent
human body exposure from the laser path or collateral radiation by beam or reflection
exposure to laser emissions.
•
Wired and software interlocks to prevent operator exposure to laser emissions.
•
Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser notice
No. 50.
