Note also that graphitic corrosion may occur preferentially in poorly accessible areas, such as the bottom of pipelines. Trouble-free service of cast iron components does not necessarily indicate that all is well, since components suffering severe graphitic corrosion may continue to operate until an inadvertent or intentional (e.g., pressuretesting) shock load is applied. At this point massive, catastrophic failures can occur. 

Let s consider an industrial boiler. You may need at least three of these previous mentioned o-rings just to prevent leaks and drips in a simple hydronie or steam boiler. Raw water comes into the boiler room with pipes, gauges, valves and instrumentation. All these fittings would probably use Nitrile rubber o-ring seals to give long-term leak free service. 

Although the balance feature, o-rings, and the cartridge concept were discussed in detail in the previous chapter, here is a brief review why this seal design will give your pumps their best chance for extended leak-free service with reduced maintenance costs. 

The installation costs for a single impressed current anode of high-silicon iron can be taken as Kj = DM 975 (S550). This involves about 5 m of cable trench between anodes so that the costs for horizontal or vertical anodes or for anodes in a common continuous coke bed are almost the same. To calculate the total costs, the annuity factor for a trouble-free service life of 20 years (a = 0.11, given in Fig. 22-2) should be used. For the cost of current, an industrial power tariff of 0.188 DM/kWh should be assumed for t = 8750 hours of use per year, and for the rectifier an efficiency of w = 0.5. The annual basic charge of about DM 152 for 0.5 kW gives about 0.0174 DM/kWh for the calculated hours of use, so that the total current cost comes to... 

This available value of NPSHa (of the system) must always be greater b) a minimum of two feet and preferably three or more feet than the required NPSH stated by the pump manufacturer or shown on the pump curves in order to overcome the pump s internal hydraulic loss and the point of lowest pressure in the eye of the impeller. The NPSH required by the pump is a function of the physical dimensions of casing, speed, specific speed, and type of impeller, and must be satisfied for proper pump performance. The pump manufacturer must ahvays be given complete Suction conditions if he is to be expected to recommend a pump to give long and trouble-free service. 

The hydraulic oil must provide adequate lubrication in the diverse operating conditions associated with the components of the various systems. It must function over an extended temperature range and sometimes under boundary conditions. It will be expected to provide a long, trouble-free service life its chemical stability must therefore be high. Its wear-resisting properties must be capable of handling the high loads in hydraulic pumps. Additionally, the oil must protect metal surfaces from corrosion and it must both resist emulsification and rapidly release entrained air that, on circulation, would produce foam. 

Silent chains are similar to roller chains in that each has a master or connecting link to facilitate ease of installation and removal from a machine. They are usually made of high-carbon steel or heat-treated steel alloys. As a result, this type of chain provides trouble-free service for extended periods. 

Couplings require regular lubrication and maintenance to ensure optimum trouble-free service life. When proper maintenance is not conducted, premature coupling failure and/or damage to machine-train components such as bearings can be expected. 

It was observed that the plant gave a trouble-free service during the 21 day period. However, flushing of the membranes with feed water was resorted to only once after 15 days of continuous operation. After 21 daiys, the plant showed signs of decline in salt rejection which dropped to 88 per cent. At this stage the membranes were flushed with oxalic acid.

Instead of painstakingly reading the employment section of your newspaper, which is time-consuming and typically lists only jobs in your geographic area, free services like The Monster Board allow you to use keyword searches to find the job opportunities for which you re most suited. The best thing about performing these online searches is that it doesn t take hours—it takes seconds. 

JobSmart (www.jobsmart.org/tools/salary/sal-prof) is a free service that publishes more than 300 profession-specific salary surveys online for professions ranging from accounting to warehousing and by geographic region. 

FGD Absorber case histories confirm that the chlorobutyl linings give trouble free service when correctly applied and cured. Chlorobutyl linings offer excellent chemical, heat, weather and ozone resistance compared to natural rubber. 

Lubrication is highly important to assure long trouble-free service life. The lubrication system should be capable of providing lubrication for short periods of time and for reverse rotation operation.

Internet search engines are revolutionary in their capacity to provide a free service to users, also offering targeted, low-key advertisements that assist users in their search. 

The wall thickness selected varies with the service and material. Carbon steel coils are often made from schedule 80 or heavier pipe to allow for corrosion. When stainless-steel or other high-alloy coils are not subject to corrosion or excessive pressure, they may be of schedule 5 or 10 pipe to keep costs at a minimum, although high-quahty welding is required for these thin walls to assure trouble-free service. 

High-performance characteristics are offered by polysulphide sealants with a maintenance-free service life in excess of 15 years. Good evidence exists to show that these sealants, when properly formulated and applied, have a real service life in excess of 40 years (Lowe, 1994a). 

In general, it may be said that basalt linings provide long-maintenance-free service life. 

In summary, there has been a great deal of research and analysis pertaining to the concrete chimney shell. All known effects have been studied thoroughly and can be incorporated in design. Both the owner and consulting engineer can feel confident that, when properly constructed, the exterior shell of a reinforced concrete chimney will provide a long and trouble-free service life. 

Thanks to the essay map, the reader knows that the essay will discuss the Center s free services, tutors, and learning materials. 

Because of its free services, well-trained tutors, and useful learning aids, the Study Skills Center is an excellent place for students seeking academic help. 

Poor The Study Skills Center is a helpful place for three reasons. The reasons are its free services, good tutors, and lots of learning materials. 

The topic sentence announces the subject matter of the paragraph (a variety of free services that improve basic skills). 

The NLM developed PubMed as a user-friendly search tool to explore MEDLINE. For each citation listed in a search result, the user has the option to click on Related Articles, which takes the user to a listing of additional citations that are related to the search topic. Additionally, PubMed offers access to publisher Web sites for full-text articles, a citation matcher (service that assists a user in finding a complete citation), and access to the molecular biology databases of the NCBI. One of the newest features of PubMed is called Cubby, a page on the site that allows the user to store a search and update it in the future (users need to register for this free service). AIDSLINE soon will be added to PubMed. A user can search MEDLINE and 14 other NLM databases (e.g., AIDSLINE, AIDSDRUGS, TOXLINE) via Internet...
