ShimcoShimco has completed its recertification audit for ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D, which included operations of its new, state-of-art special processes facility.

“We started construction of the special processes line in early 2020 and completed it earlier this year, within our current facility in Cambridge, Ontario,” says Peter Voss, Shimco President and CEO.  “After hiring senior, experienced special processes management and quality personnel, we were able to quickly get everything working extremely well. Receiving the AS9100D certification is proof our team did a fantastic job.”

In the AS9100 series of standards, special processes refer to a set of linked procedures that lead to the creation of products and services whose end results would not otherwise be measured, monitored or verified before being released to the customer, says Shimco. Hence, these products and services require special attention during production to ensure that they are free of defects. They also require rigorous, standard-specific practices as well as qualified personnel or employees.

In the aerospace industry, the National Aerospace and Defence Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) plays a major – and mandatory – role, acting as an approval body of the process used and ensuring the product is correct. The accreditation process involves specific audits based on NADCAP requirements. For a NADCAP audit to take place, a company must first be AS9100 certified.  Now that Shimco has received its AS9100D accreditation for metal surface treatments, it is scheduled for its NADCAP audit early this fall.  Shimco is also currently undergoing audit by a major aerospace OEM for metal surface treatments (special processes) and expects to receive those approvals very soon.

“As Shimco continues to expand its operations and capabilities, we will be more and more vertically integrated. We need to continue to compete internationally, and having a multitude of capabilities under our control, including special processes, is key to our continued success,” says Voss.

CFCM slingpsychrometer 400Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.

As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.

The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
