The fire risk from static ignition increases with the volume and volatility of flammable liquid handled. Hence, the smallest volume container capable of [Pg.154]

Filling and Emptying Small Nonconductive Containers Subject to capacity limitations described in 5-8.4 it is common to handle flammable liquids in small glass or plastic containers. The following should be considered for frequent indoor liquid transfers of about 0.5 L (approxi- [Pg.155]


Wire sparklers are wires coated with pyrotechnic composition which are hand-held and produce a gende spray of gold sparks from iron filings. Fountains are cardboard tubes filled with chemical mixtures that produce a spray of color and sparks extending 2—5 m into the air. Roman candles are cylindrical tubes which repeatedly fire colored stars distances of 5—20 m into the air. These items typically contain 5—12 stars. [Pg.349]

Instrumentation for revealing the presence of bulk quantities of concealed drugs will differ from those developed to find evidence of minute quantities on surfaces. Bulk detection is concerned with amounts ranging from grams to kilograms [4], Bulk detection is done by manual inspection, X-ray, CT scans, and acoustic inspection. X-ray or CT scanners used as bulk detectors have sensitivity of 2-10 g, and suspect items are subsequently confirmed by chemical analysis. Hand-held acoustic inspection instruments such as the Acoustic Inspection Device (AID) and the Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories/Battelle, can be used for analysis of cargo liquids in sealed containers of various sizes within seconds [5]. The acoustical velocity and attenuation of multiple echoes returned to the instrument is evaluated by software which compares the data to the shipping manifest. [Pg.790]

Scheme 6 Photographs of fluorescence for PFPTO solutions at [RU] = 2 pm in the presence of dsDNA with (DNA) ranging from 0 to 6.0 nM at intervals of 1.2 nM in 1 x PBS containing 10 vol % serum under a hand-held UV lamp with /max = 365 nm...

PORTFIRE A hand-held tubular appliance containing slow-burning explosive composition which will emit a small flame. Commonly used for lighting fuses. [Pg.184]

Tanks are most important weapon systems for land battles and their performance is decided in terms of fire power, mobility and protection. In order to provide protection to tanks in the battlefield, add-on explosive reactive armor (ERA) has been developed in several countries including India. ERA consists of an explosive layer sandwiched between two plates which are enclosed in metallic containers and fitted on tanks. Such ERAs are reported to provide protection to tanks against HEAT and HESH warheads, hand held anti-tank (A/T) weapons and to some extent against tandem warheads. [Pg.44]

On DAY 3, stop any bleed and add POC at 300-500 ppm (more in small systems, slightly less in large systems). Again, wash down tower walls and other system components, using hand-held pressure sprays and POC chemical-containing water, as appropriate. [Pg.348]

Little information is publicly available on the status of fuel processor development in industry. Figure 2.69 shows the fuel cell system developed by Casio [2], It contains a silicon wafer methanol reformer, which was developed by Casio s research division [2], The catalyst was developed under the guidance of the University of Japan. It achieved 98% methanol conversion and allowed the operation of a hand-held computer for 20 h. Commercialization is aimed for in 2004-2005. [Pg.360]

The self-contained Tesla coils often found in many labs are recommended by the manufacturers not to be used for longer than 10 minutes of continuous operation. If your needs require long continuous use on a consistent basis, heavy-duty Tesla coils are available that can be used continuously. These coils are easily identified because they have small boxes (approximately 5 in. x 5 in. x 8 in) connected to their hand-held sections. These hand-held sections are the same as those found on standard light-duty Tesla coils (see Fig. 7.57). [Pg.447]

The Solid State Table of the Elements, folded into the book near the back cover, exemplifies the unified view of electronic structure which is sought, and its relation to the properties of solids. The table contains the parameters needed to calculate nearly any property of any solid, using a hand-held calculator these are parameters such as the LCAO matrix elements and pseudopotential core radii, in terms of which elementary descriptions of the electronic structure can be given. The approach used throughout this book has been to simplify the description of... [Pg.590]

Capsaicinoids cause dermatitis as well as nasal, ocular, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal effects in humans. OC gained popularity in the 1990s as a defensive weapon for civilians and law enforcement agencies because they produce an immediate, temporary immobilization and incapacitation when sprayed directly into the face or eyes. It is important to note that hand-held pepper spray formulations can contain OC by themselves or a mixture of OC and CS. [Pg.157]

One type of probe is a hand-held stainless-steel hollow auger, which has soil-air vent holes drilled into the shaft near the bottom and is fitted with a gas sample port near the top (Lovell, 1979). Another type of hollow probe has a straight shaft with a gas sample port at the top and soil-air vent holes at the bottom this probe is pounded into the soil by means of a captive hammer that slides up and down the shaft to either drive the probe into or remove it from the soil (Dyck, 1972 Chemical Projects Limited, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, written common., 1972 Lovell, 1979). Both the hollow auger and hollow hammer-probe are efficient dynamic soil-gas samplers in light soils. Neither sampler works well in stony or hard, compacted soils, or in soils containing layers of caliche attempts to use probes in these soils may either bend the probe or disturb the soil to the extent that the soil-gas sample is diluted by atmospheric air. Soil gas can not be sampled in wet soils with these probes. [Pg.258]
