What does PPS stand for plastic?
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin is a crystalline heat resistant polymer that has a simple chemical structure made from benzene and sulfur.
Is PPS plastic strong?
PPS has high strength, high rigidity and low degradation characteristics even in high temperature conditions. It also shows excellent fatigue endurance and creep resistance.
What is a PPS rate?
A Prospective Payment System (PPS) is a method of reimbursement in which Medicare payment is made based on a predetermined, fixed amount. The payment amount for a particular service is derived based on the classification system of that service (for example, diagnosis-related groups for inpatient hospital services).
How is PPS rate determined?
The PPS rate is a base rate for all FQHCs. Each FQHC’s rate is adjusted based on the location of where the services are furnished. FQHCs will be paid based on the lesser of the adjusted PPS rate or their charges.
What is PPS rate?
Why is the PPS rate important?
The enables healthcare providers to be aware of the predetermined reimbursement amount for patient care regardless of the amount of care provided. PPS is intended to motivate healthcare providers to structure cost-effective, efficient patient care that avoids unnecessary services.
How to calculate the density of a plastic sample?
It is calculated by dividing the mass of the material by the volume and is normally expressed in g/cm 3. The density of a plastic sample may change due to change in crystallinity, loss of plasticizers, absorption of solvent, etc.
What is PPS (polypropylene polymers)?
Regular PPS is an off-white, linear polymeric material of modest molecular weight and mechanical strength. When heated above its glass transition temperature (Tg ~85°C), it crystallizes rapidly. Main three types of PPS include:
What is the PPS resistance of PPS?
PPS can be resistance to 260°C for short time and used below 200°C for a long time. PPS has high strength, high rigidity and low degradation characteristics even in high temperature conditions. It also shows excellent fatigue endurance and creep resistance. PPS has however, a lower elongation to break, a higher cost and is rather brittle.
What is PPS molding?
PPS is a lighter weight alternative to metals, resistant to corrosion by salts and all automotive fluids. The ability to mold complex parts to tight tolerances and insert molding capability accommodate multiple component integration. Under-the-hood is the largest application area for PPS followed by electrical parts.
