Glass common types

This is in contrast to lasers based on mby or neodymium in glass, which operate at much lower pulse-repetition rates. Nd YAG lasers are often operated as frequency-doubled devices so that the output is at 532 nm. These lasers are the most common type of soHd-state laser and have dominated sohd-state laser technology since the early 1970s. Nd YAG lasers having continuous output power up to 1800 W are available, but output powers of a few tens of watts are much more common. 

Tlie cover assembly usually contains a safety v ent. Tlie most common type consists of a steel or nickel diaphragm built into the cov er and a bent point cut from the cov er. At a certain internal cell pressure, the diaphragm niov es to the bent point and is pierced. Some cylindrical sealed cells use one or more temiinal feed-throughs employing glass-to-metal or ceramic-to-metal techniques. 

Some of the common types of plastics that ate used ate thermoplastics, such as poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) (see Polymers containing sulfur), nylons, Hquid crystal polymer (LCP), the polyesters (qv) such as polyesters that ate 30% glass-fiber reinforced, and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and polyetherimide (PEI) and thermosets such as diaHyl phthalate and phenoHc resins (qv). Because of the wide variety of manufacturing processes and usage requirements, these materials ate available in several variations which have a range of physical properties. 

Containers Containers for hquids consist principally of drums, pads, and cans made of steel or plastic and of bottles and vials made of plastic or glass. The chemical industiy is often involved with all these containers, but the most frequently used packages for industrial chemicals are steel drums ana pails. For exotic products, stainless-steel drums and pails are available. The most common types used are 208-L (55-gal) drums and 19-L (5-gal) pails. 

Industrial filtration systems may be of many types. The most common type is the baghouse shown in Fig. 29-3. The filter bags are fabricated from woven material, with the material and weave selected to fit the specific application. Cotton and synthetic fabrics are used for relatively low temperatures, and glass cloth fabrics can be used for elevated temperatures, up to 290 C. 

The most common type of glass transition is one that occurs for many liquids when they are cooled quickly below their freezing temperature. With rapid cooling, eventually a temperature region is reached where the translational and rotational motion associated with the liquid is lost, but the positional and orientational order associated with a crystal has not been achieved, so that the disorder remains frozen in. The loss of both translational and rotational motion leads to a large increase in viscosity and a large decrease in heat capacity. 

Any substance that somehow changes with alterations in its temperature can be used as the basic component in a thermometer. Gas thermometers work best at very low temperatures. Liquid thermometers are the most common type in use. They are simple, inexpensive, long-lasting, and able to measure a wide temperature span. The liquid is almost always mercury, sealed in a glass tube with nitrogen gas making up the rest of the volume of the tube. 

Glass-break detectors Placed on glass and sense vibrations in the glass when it is disturbed. The two most common types of glass-break detectors are shock sensors and audio discriminators. 

Two common types of filtering apparatus are used. A fine or ultrafine sintered glass may be used to filter the solvent. However, if it is used to filter the polymer solution, it may become clogged. Using Millipore...
