WMAKRINE REVIEW November, 1925 ee ee Setting exact standards for the oxy-acetylene process The Union Carbide and Carbon Re- search Laboratories, Inc., occupies al- most a city block of floor space in this large building in Long Island City. Floor space, however, means little in aresearch laboratory if men and equip- ment are lacking. The equipment is as complete as that of any laboratory in the United States and the caliber of men is indicated by the fact that one of chem- istry’s most coveted prizes—the Perkin Medal—was recently awarded to one of the staff, | ee Union Carbide and Carbon Research Laboratories, Inc., at Long Island City, is really manufacturing standards for the oxy- acetylene process. New applications of the process usually orig- inate in the field. They could be developed by the trial and error method and passed from one welder to another by rule of thumb instruction. The LindeCompany, however,submits such new applications to its research laboratory. Here, not only is the weld tested, but the cor- rect procedure worked out so that it is metal- lurgically sound. Applications perfected in the Linde laboratory work—not occasionally, but every time. Every technical factor in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting is tested and checked by the laboratory. Furthermore, the laboratory furnishes Linde engineers with data sufficient to satisfy the most exacting demand for tech- nical information. This research laboratory is a part of Linde Process Service which is free to Linde custom- ers for the asking. THE LINDE AIR PRODUCTS CO.
