Airtight

Several designs for STM electrochemical cells have appeared in the literature [M]- hr addition to an airtight liquid cell and the tip insulation mentioned above, other desirable features include the incorporation of a reference electrode (e.g. Ag/AgCl in saturated KCl) and a bipotentiostat arrangement, which allows the independent control of the two working electrodes (i.e. tip and substrate) [ ] (figure BL19.11). 

Red lead is a useful ingredient of anti-rusting paints, in which it is mixed with linseed oil. If glycerol is added to this mixture, a cement suitable for luting (i.e. making airtight or watertight) joints in iron pipes or vessels is obtained. 

Pigment used for dry blending is dried overnight at 150°C in a vacuum oven to remove absorbed gases and moisture. It is screened through a 149-p.m (100-mesh) screen directly onto the cubes, which are roUed or tumbled for at least 15 min. The pigmented resin is stored in an airtight container to prevent absorption of moisture. 

Separator. Fat is normally separated from the milk before the HTST however, ia one system the airtight separator is placed after the FDV, foUowiag pasteurization. A restricting device and several control combiaations are placed ia the line after the FDV to ensure that constant flow is maintained, that vacuum does not develop ia the line, that the timing pump stops if the separator stops, and that the legal holding time is met. 

Low molecular weight ether hydroperoxides are similarly dangerous and therefore ethers should be tested for peroxides and any peroxidic products removed from them before ethers are distilled or evaporated to dryness. Many ethers autoxidize so readily that peroxidic compounds form at dangerous levels when stored in containers that are not airtight (133). Used ether containers should be handled cautiously and if they are found to contain hazardous soHd ether peroxides, bomb-squad assisted disposal may be required (134). ZeoHtes have been used for removal of peroxide impurities from ethers (135). 

Manufacture is either by reaction of molten sodium with methyl alcohol or by the reaction of methyl alcohol with sodium amalgam obtained from the electrolysis of brine in a Castner mercury cell (78). Both these methods produce a solution of sodium methylate in methanol and the product is offered in two forms a 30% solution in methanol, and a soHd, which is a dry, free-flowing white powder obtained by evaporating the methanol. The direct production of dry sodium methylate has been carried out by the introduction of methanol vapors to molten sodium in a heavy duty agitating reactor. The sohd is supphed in polyethylene bags contained in airtight dmms filled in a nitrogen atmosphere. 

The mouse anoxia or oxygen-consumption test is based on the stimulation of the basal metaboHc rate by thyromimetic compounds. Mice or other small animals are placed in airtight containers of known volume and their survival time is determined (34). 

Collective protection enclosures are required for groups of personnel. Such enclosures must be airtight to prevent inward seepage of contamination. They can be independent units or can be formed by adequately treating the interior walls of stmctures, tents, airplanes, or vehicles. A supply of uncontaminated air, provided by passing ambient air through high efficiency aerosol and carbon filters, must be provided. 

Air-Filter Types Air filters may be broadly divided into two classes (1) panel, or unit, filters and (2) automatic, or continuous, filters. Panel filters are constructed in units of convenient size (commonly 20- by 20-in or 24- by 24-in face area) to facilitate installation, maintenance, and cleaning. Each unit consists of a cleanable or replaceable cell or filter pad in a substantial frame that may be bolted to the frames of similar units to form an airtight partition between the source of the dusty air and the destination of the cleaned air. 

The product 1s somewhat hygroscopic and should Be stored 1n an airtight container. It Is also available as Lawesson s reagent from Aldrich, Fluka, and from Merck-Schuchard. 

A dry 1-1. three-necked round-bottomed flask is fitted in the center neck with a sweep-blade stirrer whose shaft passes through an airtight bearing (Note 1). One side neck is fitted with a condenser topped by a soda-lime drying tube, and the other is fitted with a solid stopper. In the flask are placed 75 ml. of piperidine (Note 2) and 15.6 g. (0.4 mole) of sodium amide (Note 3), and the mixture is heated at reflux (Note 4) for 15 minutes with good stirring. The mixture is cooled just below reflux temperature, and 46 g. (0.2 mole) of sodium -naphtha-lenesulfonate (Note 5) is added, followed by an additional 75 ml. of piperidine. The mixture is then heated at reflux for 12 hours with stirring. 

Store in airtight containers or under water or liquid paraffin Handle over a suitable tray near to the apparatus in use... 

Air circulation with a parallel jet supply is illustrated in Fig. 7.45. Jets are located at distance t from each other, and each jet forms return flow similar to that induced by a single jet in the room with a width B = t. Thus, in the case of M parallel jets, the room should be considered divided into several zones with a width B = B /N, separated from each other by airtight walls. 

There are two large openings in the upper part of the building Uqj, which is 4 m wide x 2 m high, and Uq2, which is 2 m wide x 1 m high. The lower-level of 5 m. Otherwise the building envelope is assumed to be airtight. This information is summarized in Table 7.29.

Buildings that are thermally insulated and airtight. These buildings can be heated with a heating system. 

Furnace-type air heaters are manufactured from cast iron or steel, and cased in brickwork or steel. The cast-iron heaters are sectional, cemented and bolted together. The steel type are welded or riveted. It is essential that the joints are airtight, so that the cold air can pass over the heated surfaces of the furnace and flues without contamination by the flue gases.
