Copper cooling tubing

A model of the product is placed into the frame. Copper cooling tubing is placed around the model, and the frame is then filled with resin. This method is recommended only for a limited production quantity and only for simple shapes. Care must be taken not to exceed the compressive strength of the resin. 

Copper-alloy tubing, particularly inhibited admiralty, is generally used with cooling water. Copper-alloy tube sheets and baffles are generally of naval brass. 

Fresh waters are, in general, less corrosive towards copper than is sea-water, and copper is widely and satisfactorily used for distributing cold and hot waters in domestic and industrial installations . Copper and copper alloys are used for pipes, hot-water cylinders, fire-back boilers, ball floats, ball valves, taps, fittings, heater sheaths, etc. In condensers and heat exchangers using fresh water for cooling, tubes of 70/30 brass or Admiralty brass are usually used, and corrosion is rarely a problem. 

Combustion takes place in a widening cone. The reaction products enter further a stainless steel pipe. The products are collected for analysis through a capillary of 1.5 mm bore into a copper water-cooled tube. The gases were always collected at a point lying on the axis of the tube. The average composition of the coal gas was ... 

For accurate scientific work water must be freed from most of the impurities detailed above, and the usual procedure is to distil from the ordinary tap supply. The liquid is heated preferably in a copper vessel and the steam condensed by passage through a cooled tube of some material, e.g. tin, silver, or even platmum, which will resist the action of steam. Such distilled water is sufficiently pure for most ordinary purposes, but for special purposes a higher degree of purity is necessary m such eases the water is redistilled after the addition of potassium permanganate and potassium hydroxide 2 if traces of ammonia are to be avoided yet another distillation with the addition of a little potassium hydrogen sulphate is necessary. In all these distillations the first portion of the distillate should be rejected and also a considerable residue allowed to remain undistilled. 

A 1-in, BWG 14 copper condenser tube, 3 m long, is to condense ethyl alcohol at atmospheric pressure. Cooling water inside the tube keeps the metal surface at an essentially constant temperature of 25 C. (a) How much vapor, in kilograms per hour, will condense if the tube is vertical (b) How much will condense if the tube is horizontal ... 

A mist of condensed water on the upper portion of the tube A indicates the presence of hydrogen. To detect the presence of hydrogen in this way, however, the copper oxide must first be strongly heated in a crucible and then allowed to cool in a good desiccator otherwise the water normally absorbed by the very hygroscopic copper oxide will always give a mist on the tube A. 

At the end of the sweeping out, the tap Ti is first closed, and then the taps T3, T4, Ts and Tj in this order. The tubes R and S are then detached from the beak of the combustion tube, the guard tube V is then detached from them and replaced on the combustion tube beak. The furnace and thermostatic mortar are then switched off and the combustion tube allowed to cool with the tap to the oxygen supply open. The bung J is removed, and the boat withdrawn by means of a piece of rigid copper wire with a small hook in the end that fits into the small hole in the lip at the back of the boat the bung is then replaced and the boat transferred to its block in the desiccator. 

The tap T2 is now closed. The furnace is switched off and the carbon dioxide generator left on until the combustion tube is cold this ensures that the reduced copper spiral, by cooling in carbon dioxide, is main tained in the reduced state. (Despite this precaution it does become spent and should be replaced from time to time. A spent copper spiral leads to high results, but before this takes place there is usually suffici-... 

Prepare a coil of copper wire by winding several turns around a glass tube. Heat the coil in the oxidising flame of a Bunsen burner for 1-2 minutes and plunge the spiral, whilst still red hot, into a test-tube containing a solution of 1 ml. of methyl alcohol and 5 ml. of water. Stopper the test-tube loosely, cool, remove the wire, and repeat the process two or three times. Observe the odour of the solution and use it (or formalin diluted with water) to carry out the following tests. 

Prepare the acetaldehyde solution by plunging a red hot oxidised copper coil (made by winding a copper wire round a glass tube and heating the resulting coil in a Bunsen dame) into 6 ml. of 60 per cent, alcohol in a Pyrex test-tube. Withdraw the coil, cool the test-tube under the tap, repeat the oxidation several times, and use the cooled solution for the test. 

Dissolve 180 g. of commercial ammonium carbonate in 150 ml. of warm water (40-50°) in a 700 ml. flask. Cool to room temperature and add 200 ml. of concentrated ammonia solution (sp. gr. 0 88). Introduce slowly, with swirling of the contents of the flask, a solution of 50 g. of chloroacetic acid (Section 111,125) in 50 ml. of water [CAUTION do not allow chloroacetic acid to come into contact with the skin as unpleasant burns will result]. Close the flask with a solid rubber stopper and fix a thin copper wire to hold the stopper in place do not moisten the portion of the stopper in contact with the glass as this lubrication will cause the stopper to slide out of the flask. Allow the flask to stand for 24-48 hours at room temperature. Transfer the mixture to a distilling flask and distil in a closed apparatus until the volume is reduced to 100-110 ml. A convenient arrangement is to insert a drawn-out capillary tube into the flask, attach a Liebig s condenser, the lower end of which fits into a filter flask (compare Fig.//, 1) and connect the... 

Cholestenone. Place a mixture of 1 0 g. of purified cholesterol and 0-2 g. of cupric oxide in a test-tube clamped securely at the top, add a fragment of Dry Ice in order to displace the air by carbon dioxide, and insert a plug of cotton wool in the mouth of the tube. Heat in a metal bath at 300-315° for 15 minutes and allow to cool rotate the test-tube occasionally in order to spread the melt on the sides. Warm with a few ml. of benzene and pour the black suspension directly into the top of a previously prepared chromatographic column (1) rinse the test-tube with a little more benzene and pour the rinsings into the column. With the aid of shght suction (> 3-4 cm. of mercury), draw the solution into the alumina column stir the top 0 -5 cm. or so with a stout copper wire to...
