The Wirotest type equipment manufactured by the Institute of Precision Mechanics, allows for evaluating own stress of materials. 

These systems have been operated in extremely low quality (and radioactivity contaminated) industrial environments for the past several years without any major equipment or component failures. Utilizing specialized operating/warm-up procedures, they have operated in low grade, out-of-doors, dust ridden, rain-soaked, industrial environments at temperature ranges which greatly exceed the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) specified limits. The systems have been successfully operated at ambient temperatures of minus 10 to plus 103 degrees Fahrenheit without any pre-mature or un-anticipated equipment failures. 

For these reasons, CEC and DOE concluded that the only cost-effective method of getting alcohol fueled vehicles would be from original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Vehicles produced on the assembly line would have lower unit costs. The OEM could design and ensure the success and durabihty of the emission control equipment. 

ASTM committees must be balanced in that the number of voting producers must not be greater than the number of voting nonproducers. Eor petroleum products, nonproducers are regulators, consumers, and equipment manufacturers. Committee chairs must be nonproducers. Although standards must be approved by a majority, aH negative votes must be carefully considered and a response made. In practice, because aH issues are fully discussed and the discussions are based on hard data, very few negative votes are cast when standards are submitted for final approval. 

Oil viscosity grades have also been developed with suitable additives for use in a variety of specific appHcations in two-cycle engines, refrigeration and air conditioning, oil mist lubricators, low outdoor temperatures, instmments, and office machines as partially reflected in Table 3. Equipment manufacturers and lubricant suppHers provide recommendations for individual cases. 

Creating a Partnership with Suppliers and Equipment Manufacturers... 

Most Type A processes might be classified as chemical processes, whereas most Type B processes are classified as mechanical processes. Representative examples of both types of processes foUow. Type B processes tend to be promoted by organizations that seU and service equipment for producing microcapsules. Most Type A processes are not promoted by equipment manufacturers, but are developed and used by organizations that produce microcapsules. 

A significant source of concern for potential users of recycled petroleum products has been the lack of specifications or certifications related to the quaUty of the material and the consistency in producing oil of high quaUty. This perception of possible inferiority has been exacerbated by the reluctance of some equipment manufacturers to state whether they would honor warranties if recycled lubricants were used. 

Gleaning. Fouling films are removed from the membrane surface by chemical and mechanical methods. Chemicals and procedures vary with the process, membrane type, system configuration, and materials of constmction. The equipment manufacturer recommends cleaning methods for specific apphcations. A system is considered clean when it has returned to >75% of its original water flux. 

Through its committees, divisions, and chapters, the American Vacuum Society has produced a nearly complete bibhography (to 1996) (8), a dictionary of terms (9), a monograph series, and a number of other useful pubHcations (10). Another source of information is the Association of Vacuum Equipment Manufacturers. A history of vacuum ideas and technology development from the Middle Ages to Newton has been given (11). 

Compound Manufacture. AH PVC must be compounded before used. Por the wide variety of requirements where PVC performs, it is usually not feasible to maintain a technical compounding knowledge at the user level. Often processors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) purchase compound already balanced to meet the range of properties required and to do the best job economically. Some resin manufacturers are integrated to supply these compounds. 

As of this writing, there is Httle commercialization of advanced battery systems. Small rechargeable lithium button cells have been commercialized, however, by Sanyo, Matsushita (Panasonic), and Toshiba. These cells are intended for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) use in appHcations such as memory backup and are not available to the general consumer. 

Boron Trichloride. Approximately 75—95% of the BCl consumed iu the United States is used to prepare boron filaments by CVD (7). These high performance fibers are used to reinforce composite materials (qv) made from epoxy resius and metals (Al, Ti). The principal markets for such composites are aerospace industries and sports equipment manufacturers. 

The biotechnology (qv) industry has no formal standards for equipment manufacture and quality control as of this writing. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) set up a task force in 1989, for developing relevant standards for biotechnology equipment.

The total value of dental suppHes and equipment manufactured in the United States in 1992 is estimated at ca 1.2 biUion. These materials are used by ca 170,000 practicing dentists (1992) and >8, 500 commercial dental laboratories employing ca 40—50,000 technicians. The dental materials market is limited because the pubHc does not buy direcdy except for toothpastes, mouthwashes, toothbmshes, denture aids, etc (see Dentifrices). 

Scale-Up on Actual Area The nominal area of a filter as used by equipment manufacturers is based upon the overall dimensions of the filtering surface. The fraction of this total area that is active in filtration is a function of the filterability of the material being handled and any special treatment which the surface may receive. 

Assistance in problem definition and in developing a test program should be sought from persons experienced in the field. If your organization has a consultant in separations of this land, by all means m e use of the expertise available. If not, it may be wise to employ an outside consultant, whose special knowledge and guidance can save time, money, and headaches. It is important to do this early after the separation equipment has been installed, there is httle a consultant can do to remedy the sometimes disastrous effects of a poor selection. Often it is best to work with established equipment manufacturers throughout the selection process, unless the problem is unusually sensitive or confidential. Their experience with problems similar to yours may be most helpful and avoid many false starts. 

Conveyor-belt speeds above approximately 300 ft per minute (1.5 meters per second) impart sufficient momentum to material discharging at its head pulley to cause lifting of material streams in a trajectory from the head pulley. A trajectory is illustrated in Fig. 19-7. Blades of the sample cutter are positioned to intersect the trajectoiy. See Fig. 19-7 for an example of a linear-traversing bottom-dump cutter installation. Calculation of trajectory profiles are described in the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association publications and similar references. 

Roll presses are now manufactured by most cement-equipment manufacturers, for example Krupp-Polysius AG. For drives up to 1200 kW they are equipped with V-belt drives, allowing speed to be changed. Rolls in one particular crusher are 48 inches (1200 mm) in diameter and 30 inches (700-mm) wide and each weighs 90 tons. Machines with up to 2500 kW installed power and 1000 ton/h (900... 

As with thickening, air flotation is enhanced by the addition of polymers. Flotation has been successfully used with wholly inorganic metal hydroxide sludges. Polymers and surfactants are used as additives. Engineering details on air flotation equipment has been developed by and is available from various equipment manufacturing companies. Liquid removed during thickening and flotation is usually returned to the head end of the plant. 

Transportation equipment Manufacture of motor vehicles, truck and bus bodies, motor-vehicle parts and accessories, aircraft and parts, ship and boat building, repairing motorcycles and bicycles and parts, etc. Metal scrap, glass, fiber, wood, rubber, plastics, cloth, paints, solvents, petroleum products... 

Because many of the techniques, especially those associated with the recovery of materials and energy and the processing of solid hazardous wastes, are in a state of flux with respect to application and design criteria, the objective here is only to introduce them to the reader. If these techniques are to be considered in the development of waste-management systems, current engineering design and performance data must be obtained from consultants, operating records, field tests, equipment manufacturers, and available literature. 

Equipment manufacturers and large-volume users often write fuel specifications to suit particiilar equipment, operating conditions, and economics. Nonstandard test procedures and restrictive test limits should be avoided they reduce the availability of fuel and increase its cost. 

It was generally accepted that machinery users do not select bearings (see the sixth edition of this handbook) this is no longer vahd users have realized that they can have a voice in the selection of bearings of new machines and that they can select better bearings for their old machines than the ones supplied by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). A number of independent bearing manufacturers can be found in most industrial areas.
