06/2011: LTP Works Outing 2010 in 2011: Up In The Air

Windy and rainy weather hindered the LTP stuff to balloon end of 2010. Therefore the event was delayed to 2011. Beginning of June 2011 the LTP staff ballooned on a nice slightly windy afternoon into the sky over the countryside of Oldenburg. It was again a nice LTP event and an awesome experience for all participants. Unfortunately, the ballooning time was too short…

12/2010: LTP invests in new equipment to broaden its experimental facilities.

In 2009 a magnetic suspension balance for vapor-liquid density measurements with optional direct GC sampling was developed. Between 2008 and 2010 six new static-synthetic devices were assembled, especially to cover the increasing demand for gas solubility measurements.

In 2010 LTP bought a Setaram C 80 calorimeter for temperatures up to 300 °C, an Anton Paar rotation viscometer RheolabQC for viscosity and rheology measurements and a flow calorimeter for enthalpy of mixing and absorption measurements. Also some new analytic devices like a Agilent GC-MS system and a photometer were purchased in 2010.
