A tube press comprises two concentric cylinders where a permeable tube covered with a filter cloth is positioned centrally within a solid outer tube lined by an elastomer diaphragm (see Figure 1.37). The filter cycle is initiated by pumping the feed suspension into the annular space between the inner tube and the diaphragm. With sufficient suspension in the press, pressure is applied to induce radial filtration. This process is most often performed at constant pressure via the diaphragm in two stages where a lower pressure is used initially to promote more even cake formation. When filtration is complete the elastomer diaphragm is further inflated (hydraulically) to deliquor the cake via mechanical expression. 

We developed a sensor for determination of content of phosphorars in metallurgical melts. In quality of ion conductor used orthophosphate of calcium which pressed in tablets 010 mm. Tablets (mass 1-2 g) annealed at a temperature 400°C during 7-10 h. Tablets melts then in a quartz tube and placed the alloy of iron containing 1 mass % P. Control of sensor lead on Fe - P melts. Information on activities (effective concentration) of phosphorars in Fe - P melts was received. It is set that the isotherm of activity of phosphorars shows negative deviations from the Raouls law. Comparison them with reliable literary inforiuation showed that they agree between itself. Thus, reliable data on activities (effective concentration) of phosphorars in metallic melts it is possible to received by created electrochemical sensor for express determination. 

Vaginal material is best submitted as liquid in a tube, although swabs submitted in a small amount of saline may be used. A drop of the material is covered with a cover slip and examined with reduced light. To culture, 1 or 2 drops of urine sediment or vaginal exudate are inoculated into tubes of warmed, modified Diamond medium. If vaginal swabs are submitted, the swab is immersed in the medium and pressed against the side of the tube to express material. Tubes are incubated at 35°C, and drops of culture are examined by wet mount at 48 and 72 h for motile trophozoites. 

Tuhtdar Presses As the name implies, this press is composed of a candle filter inside a cyhndrical hydrauhc casing (Fig. 18-192). The filter cloth is wrapped around the filter candle, and a diaphragm is attached to the inner side of the outer casing. During the filtration step, the space in between two cylinders is filled with slurry, and pressure filtration is conducted. At the end of the filtration step, the diaphragm is inflated to squeeze the cake around the filter candle. At the end of expression, the bottom of the hydrauhc casing tube is opened and the filter assembly is lowered. Air is then introduced to pulse the cake off the candle. Alter the cake is discharged, the inner filter candle moves back, and the bottom is closed for the next filtration cycle.

Sayles et al. (1976) have described a device that allows collection of pore water samples under in situ conditions. To achieve this, a tube is pressed about 2 meters deep into the sediment, like a harpoon. Then the pore water is withdrawn from various sections of the tube, through opened valves, and concomitantly passed through filters. The crucial step of separating sediment and pore water thus happens under in situ conditions. The obtained water samples are then ready to be analyzed ex situ. The concentrations which were measured by Sayles et al. (1976), however, do not differ greatly from those which were obtained from the same location by expressing pore water under ex situ conditions. 

Vortex each Gen-Probe transport tube for at least 5 s. Express all liquid from the swab by pressing the swab against the wall of the tube. Discard the swab. 

To use the gas laws, you must clearly understand the units used to express pressure, and you must utilize the Kelvin temperature scale introduced in Section 1.6. Pressure is defined as force per unit area. However, most of the units commonly used to express pressure reflect a relationship to barometric measurements of atmospheric pressure. The mercury barometer was invented by Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647). Its essential components are shown in I Figure 6.5. A glass tube, sealed at one end, is filled with mercury, stoppered, and inverted so the stoppered end is under the surface of a pool of mercury. When the stopper is removed, the mercury in the tube falls until its weight is just balanced by the weight of air pressing on the mercury pool. The pressure of the atmosphere is then expressed in terms of the height of the supported mercury column.
