Abstract: A method and system for analyzing a plurality of coatings undergoing exposure testing is disclosed. Included in the system are a data acquisition system and a computer system. The data acquisition system acquires coating identification and attribute data through various input devices, while the computer system automatically receives, stores, analyzes and displays the coating attribute data. The analytical results relate to the durability of a coating composition under test, which may be used for predicting the performance of a coating characteristic and developing improved coating compositions.

Abstract: Methods of analyzing processes for making catalysts and/or certain properties of catalysts using a plurality of reaction zones are provided. The methods of the present invention have the capability to define and execute, in rapid succession, a plurality of experiments under disparate reaction conditions. An operator may define and execute a plurality of experiments on user-defined quantities of disparate catalysts, using user-defined input feeds, residence times, and temperature profiles.
