Filling power tests

Manufacturers, retail buyers and end-use customers would like to be able to verify the filling power quality of the product. This is difficult to do without actually using the product, so product use is often replicated in a laboratory setting. The testing of physical behavior of a natural organic product often makes little sense without taking chemical characteristics into consideration. This is particularly demonstrated in the case of down and feathers owing to their interaction with water molecules. It is this interaction that helps the birds ...

Power testing of the decay heat removal systems commenced with the filling a steam generator group of one loop on the water side. To start with it was impossible to continue the test at 420°C due to the repair of the dump and leakage hold-up tanks, described lat. As a result of the temporarily insufficient dump tank capacity, the possible necessity of a dumping event was avoided by cautions operation of the main heat transfer sterns at approximately 300X with a main pump speed of about 30%. 

This widespread conformity to the Gurvitsch rule constitutes powerful support for the capillary condensation hypothesis in relation to Type IV isotherms. It is perhaps hardly necessary to stress that in order to test data for conformity to the rule it is essential that the stage which corresponds to the complete filling of the pores shall be clearly identifiable—as in the...

FT rheometry is a powerful technique to document the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of pure polymers as observed when performing large amplitude oscillatory strain (LAOS) experiments. When implemented on appropriate instmments, this test technique can readUy be applied on complex polymer systems, for instance, filled mbber compounds, in order to yield significant and reliable information. Any simple polymer can exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic properties when submitted to sufficiently large strain in such a case the observed behavior is so-called extrinsic... 

At the beginning of each shift, the power saw must be filled with gasoline and tested to make sure it works properly. The best reason for this requirement is that it... 

Figure I. Results of an 8-month outdoors test of PEC containing a 0.8-cm2 thin film, painted CdSe photoelectrode (not photoetched), CoS counterelectrode, and 7M KOH, 2M S, 7M S, ImM Se solution. (OCV) open-circuit voltage (SCC) short-circuit current (EFF) solar conversion efficiency ( AMI.5). Between measurements the cell operated on maximum power (68 fi load). No appreciable change in fill-factor occurred during the test.
