BRITISH BOARD

Certificates issued by the British Board of Agrement (BBA) cover new or innovative construction products not covered by existing British Standards and Codes of Practice. These certificates, which are the result of assessment by BBA based on manufacturers information and on independent testing, also provide information on projected lifetimes. In future, under the European Construction Products Directive, product performance details including durability will be given on the label of each CE marked product. An example of how this is applied will be described in the next section.

In response to this pressure from the business sector, Parliament passed the Wool Actin 1699 which essentially deprived the colonists of the right to import wool. To circumvent this restriction, the colonists made more and more use of hemp and flax fibers. In 1708, Calib Heathcote, a New York colonist seeking a contract from the British Board of Trade to supply naval stores to England, wrote that his neighbors "were already so far advanced that three fourths of the linen and woolen used, was made amongst them... and if some speedy and effectual ways are not found to put a stop to it, they will carry it on a great deal further..."...

Ballard Power Systems, in conjunction with the province of British Columbia and the government of Canada, have converted a diesel bus for Vancouver, B.C. Transit (43). This 9.1-m vehicle is powered by a 105-kW fuel cell. Gaseous hydrogen, stored on board the bus in DOT-approved glass-wound composite cylinders operating at 20.7 MPa (3000 psi), provides the necessary fuel requited for the 150-km projected vehicle range. 

The Berlin City electrical engineer M. Kallmann reported in 1899 on a system for controlling stray currents of electric railways [64]. As early as 1894, the Board of Trade in London issued a safety regulation for the British electric railways which specified a potential differential of not more than 1.5 V where the pipeline was positive to the rails, but 4.5 V with the rails positive. Extensive research was undertaken on reducing the risk of stray current in the soil by metallic connections from pipes to rails. However, as one writer noted, a procedure on these lines should definitely be discouraged as it carries the seed of its own destruction [64].

The internal cooling system was applied to the Fischer-Tropsch process by the U. S. Bureau of Mines (48, 49), the British Fuels Board (54), and Rheinprussen-Koppers (52, 53). The external cooling system was applied to the Fischer-Tropsch process by I. G. Farben (61).

Thus it will be necessary to exploit other more abundant resources of hydrocarbons. In the United Kingdom there are large reserves of coal which could satisfy demand for at least two hundred and fifty years. The National Coal Board currently mines approximately 120 million tons of coal per annum of which 65% is used for generating electricity (JO. (Combustion of the low sulphur British coals does not result in excessive atmospheric pollution.) To satisfy the increased demand for coal the National Coal Board has undertaken an investment programme which includes the development of a mining complex at Selby in Yorkshire which, it is estimated, will produce in excess of 10-million tons when full production is reached in 1988. 

The effects of attrition on a given particulate material may be assessed in many different ways. One may base this assessment on the observation of an individual particle. Alternatively, the fate of a group of particles may be examined, or the effect of attrition on the bulk properties of a powder may be taken forthis assessment. The British Materials Handling Board (1987) and Bemrose and Bridgwater (1987) have given a lot of examples for the different methods. 

Detailed reviews of such test procedures are given by Bemrose and Bridgwater (1987) and the British Material Handling Board (1987). The present subsection is restricted to a short discussion of those tests that are relevant for fluidized beds or pneumatic conveying lines.

Gallman and I proceeded to British Undersecretary Hall s office. It was clear from the first that the British wanted no public answer of any kind. I continued to insist. Hall understood that the War Refugee Board had been merely a political move of the President s, and I hastened to correct that false impression. The President meant business, I said, and was determined to have the job done. 

Stretford A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfur compounds from coal gas and general refinery streams by air oxidation to elementary sulfur, using a cyclic process involving an aqueous solution of a vanadium catalyst and anthraquinone disulfonic acid. Developed in the late 1950s by the North West Gas Board (later British Gas) and the Clayton Aniline Company, in Stretford, near Manchester. It is the principle process used today, with over 150 plants licensed in Western countries and at least 100 in China.
