Texture Standards

The reference samples for texture analysis of crystallographic texture have been designed and prepared to give years of stabile materials structure and safe usage in the industrial and research laboratories. As with all materials standards, however, there are a few basic precautions that should be taken to avoid damage:

Read the documentation carefully and save it for future reference.
Keep the reference samples into the delivered metal box when the measurements are not performed.
Keep in dry at stable temperature, protect it before direct heat/cool sources, such as radiators/refrigerator, and avoid mechanical shocks.
Do not insert additional things into the sample box.
Do not touch the measurable surface of the samples.
Apart from the routine maintenance, like careful wiping the sample surface by the enclosed cloth disk or clean it using alcohol - if necessary - delicate polishing by a fine-grain diamond paste, do not try to make any other treatment of the samples.
Use the reference samples for the X-ray examination only.
