Industrial tools are what make America so enormously productive. DuPont uses many thousands of tools, ranging in size form the common needle to this big ethylene refining unit at its Sabine River Works near Orange, Texas. Operated by the company's...
This 'chemical pipe organ' is one of the laboratory tools used in biological chemical research studies at DuPont's Stine Lab near Newark, Delaware. Its one hundred intricately connected test tubes help separate complex mixtures into individual...
High pressure lab of DuPont's Chemical Department investigates chemical reactions at high pressures, often equivalent to that exerted by a column of water six miles high. Operator shown here checks remote controls at the DuPont Company's...
Highly ingenious laboratory tools and instruments help DuPont scientists uncover many secrets of nature ordinarily hidden from the human senses. This 'Breath meter' is so sensitive that mere blowing on the steel bar can easily be registered. This...
Art and science get together in glass blowers' shop at the Experiment Station. This craft is an indispensable adjunct of industrial chemistry, providing complex laboratory equipment for intricate processes by which research develops new products....
The balance is one of the basic research tools of the chemist and the starting point of virtually all analyses. This DuPont technician at the Experimental Station weighs a titanium salt for quantitative analysis.
The micro balance, shown here in the Chemical Department's Analytical Laboratory at DuPont's Experimental Station is one of the essential tools of modern chemistry, which demands a high degree of measuring accuracy. The human hair eight inches...
Small scale plants called 'semi-works' like this one at the DuPont Company's Experimental Station are vital tools in scaling new processes from test tube to full plant size. The semi-works is a standard step in research to prove out laboratory...
