Testing procedures needs vary widely depending on the process. What material should a blast containment enclosure be made from? Metal, polycarbonate, fiberglass? Well… it depends. Each has unique characteristics that could work better (or worse) for your operational needs. Read our blog post and find out why we use polycarbonate sheets for our shielding enclosures ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/ejWjytMr

Help us support the next generation of engineers! 💪
As an employer, I value hands-on experience 100x more than classroom grades. That's why I'm backing this scrappy student team building something extraordinary. Against others with 10x more funding, Virginia Tech's The Diggeridoos are outperforming in global engineering competitions. The team’s made up of 70 students from engineering and business who’re building a machine capable of digging a 100ft tunnel. The Diggeridoos are: → Combining electrical, mechanical, aerospace, & computer science → Developing real-world business and project management skills → Outperforming better-funded teams w/ smart innovation And if you want to find the most talented young engineers in America … This is a secret pipeline that's better than any career fair or recruiting program. Because this work demonstrates: • Cross-disciplinary teamwork • Problem-solving under real constraints • Ability to deliver results with limited resources The team ranked #1 for the world's fastest launch design at the 2021 Not-a-Boring Competition hosted by Elon Musk. But we need more support to bring home the win in 2025, so please consider becoming a sponsor! You can get in touch with Chris Johnston and Lily Donaldson, who appear in this video, or just through their website (linked in comments) For companies: • Early access to top engineering talent • Support next-generation innovation • Direct pipeline to motivated, proven performers For individuals: • Help level the playing field against better-funded competitors • Be part of an exciting engineering moonshot • Support future engineering leaders Let's turn this underdog story into another big victory. Join TotalShield in backing the Diggeridoos! Let’s Go Hokies!

Throwback Thursday to our shielding testing for a centrifuge 🛡️ During the testing, we used different assemblies of polycarbonate sheets and a projectile to simulate a worst-case scenario of a projectile escaping from the heat conditioning chamber on a centrifuge. In the configuration shown in the video, with the impact 9 inches from one end, we observed no perforation of the shield or failure of connections. However, we did notice modest and permanent deformations, so we decided to try a different configuration. Testing is crucial for us as it helps us understand how to design shielding products that can effectively protect your staff in worst-case scenarios.
