Brooks Instrument Offers Scholarship Second Year in a Row

Award granted to students who show potential in engineering, flow or instrumentation

HATFIELD, Pa. (June 28, 2019) - Brooks Instrument, a world leader in advanced flow, pressure, vacuum and vapor delivery solutions, will once again offer an engineering scholarship for undergraduate students enrolled in an engineering program at an accredited college or university. The program was introduced in 2018 to reward exceptional students and help them pursue their career. The scholarship offers $2,000 to a candidate who shows potential for leadership and interest in engineering, particularly as it relates to instrumentation, fluid mechanics and flow or pressure measurement.


To apply, students should visit https://www.brooksinstrument.com/en/about-us/scholarship. The application requires a personal essay as well as a project review, proposal, lab work or other endeavors that give a detailed description of a process involving some degree of instrumentation, flow or measurement. To qualify for the scholarship, the project, research or investigation must incorporate flow, fluid mechanics and/or pressure measurement as an integral part of the process or data recording. The project can also be about the use or development of a novel pressure or flow measurement method or technique. In addition, students must upload a copy of their transcript.

In 2018, Brooks Instrument awarded this scholarship to Etienne Jackson, a Fire Protection Engineer studying at the University of Maryland. When recounting on his project that won him the scholarship, Jackson recognized his teams' successes as well as the difficulties they faced.

"This project has revealed issues that engineers go through when attempting to design a product. When a failing idea is brought up, it is important for the idea to be tested, so that more ideas can be tested until the best one is found."

Students like Jackson show a devoted interest in this field and are leading the way as the next generation of engineers.

Applications must be received by October 31, 2019. For scholarship details and requirements, visit https://www.brooksinstrument.com/en/about-us/scholarship.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
