Fig. 1From: Effect of storage temperature and equilibration time on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement polymerization in joint replacement surgeryTemperature recording setup. Exotherm heat mold with a dimension of 7.5 cm (internal diameter) × 0.5 cm (depth) containing cement dough. Type K thermocouple wires were connected to Lutron TM-947SD (Lutron Electronics, Inc., Coopersburg, PA) for temperature-elapsed time recording. The tip of the K wires were inserted to a depth of 3.0 mm into the substance of the cementBack to article page
