Heavy wall

The vapor pressure of a crude oil at the wellhead can reach 20 bar. If it were necessary to store and transport it under these conditions, heavy walled equipment would be required. For that, the pressure is reduced (< 1 bar) by separating the high vapor pressure components using a series of pressure reductions (from one to four flash stages) in equipment called separators , which are in fact simple vessels that allow the separation of the two liquid and vapor phases formed downstream of the pressure reduction point. The different components distribute themselves in the two phases in accordance with equilibrium relationships. 

In the Pyrex glass West condenser greater efficiency of cooling is obtained by having a light-walled inner tube and a heavy-walled outer tube with a minimum space between them. 

If it is desired to carry out the combined operations of stirring, refluxing, and addition of a liquid in a stream of gas, the apparatus of Fig. 77, 7, 12, a may be used the side tube for the gas is sealed on to the separatory funnel. For the passage of a gas into a stirred liquid, the aperture carrying the modified separatory funnel may be fitted with the device shown in Fig. 77, 7, 12, 6 the glass rod inside the tube is held in position by a short length of heavy-wall rubber tubing and is employed to clear the lower end of the gas delivery tube, should it become blocked with solid reaction product. 

The swan neck adapter of Fig. II, 56, 12 is useful for distillations as it permits the use of a capillary tube (held in position by a short length of heavy-walled rubber tubing) not sealed to a ground joint. It may also be used for inser tion of a thermometer or a gas-inlet tube in the narrow neck and a reflux condenser into the ground joint this device virtually converts a three-necked into a four-necked flask. Common sizes are cone fil9, 24, 29, or 34 socket 19, 24 or 29. 

The ICC classifies all three pentanes as flammable Hquids and requires that they be affixed with a red label for shipping. Because of their high vapor pressures, n- and isopentane are transported in heavy-walled dmms and neo-pentanes are transported in cylinders (see Packaging containers and INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS). 

Traditionally, sodium dichromate dihydrate is mixed with 66° Bh (specific gravity = 1.84) sulfuric acid in a heavy-walled cast-iron or steel reactor. The mixture is heated externally, and the reactor is provided with a sweep agitator. Water is driven off and the hydrous bisulfate melts at about 160°C. As the temperature is slowly increased, the molten bisulfate provides an excellent heat-transfer medium for melting the chromic acid at 197°C without appreciable decomposition. As soon as the chromic acid melts, the agitator is stopped and the mixture separates into a heavy layer of molten chromic acid and a light layer of molten bisulfate. The chromic acid is tapped and flaked on water cooled roUs to produce the customary commercial form. The bisulfate contains dissolved CrO and soluble and insoluble chromic sulfates. Environmental considerations dictate purification and return of the bisulfate to the treating operation. 

The modem winch is constmcted of stainless steel and may be built foi atmospheric temperatures or it may be a heavy-walled, sealed unit suitable for high temperature/high pressure work. Sophisticated controls are added to monitor the entire dye cycle and ensure that dyeings are as consistent as possible. 

The power turbine is free (i.e., the power turbine is not physically coupled to the gas generator but is closely coupled to the gas generator by a transition duct that transports the gas From the gas generator to the power turbine). The power turbine is an industrial-type turbine in design characterized by heavy wall casings, hydrodynamic (tilting... 

This method of preparation is suitable for producing primary alkyl lactates but is unsatisfactory for /3-methallyl lactate because the strong mineral acid catalyzes the rearrangement of methallyl alcohol to isobutyraldehyde. Methyl lactate can be made conveniently (80-85% yield) by heating 1 mole of lactic acid condensation polymer with 2.5-5 moles of methanol and a small quantity of sulfuric acid at 100 for 1-4 hours in a heavy-walled bottle, such as is used for catalytic hydrogenation with a platinum catalyst. 

Heavy-walled drums once used for lead antiknock chemicals have been used for water storage or as barbecue pits, with subsequent risk to the user from residual toxic material. Equipment from the industry cited has for many years been cleaned, cut up, and sent under supervision to steel mills for recycle to eliminate the possible misuse of scrapped containers. 

Reactions under pressure are usually carried out in an autoclave. However, several simple vessels can be used for reactions at moderate pressure. A heavy walled Pyrex test tube or Kjeldahl flask drawn out and sealed with an oxygen torch makes a suitable container for many Diels-Alder reactions. The tube can be heated in an oil or water bath, but care must be exercised to protect against explosions. At the conclusion of the reaction, the tube is cooled to room temperature, the neck is scratched with a file or carborundum chip, and a hot Pyrex rod is touched to the scratch. A large crack in the neck should result, and the sealed top can be easily knocked off. 

A heavy-walled hydrogenation bottle will tolerate pressures up to 5 atmospheres, although an efficient seal is difficult to devise. A wired-on rubber stopper will serve but will leak well below the limiting pressure tolerance of the bottle. 

A heavy-walled Pyrex tube with a suitable lip can be sealed with a metal bottle cap and capper available at many hardware stores (Fig. A3.8). This vessel is suitable for reactions at moderate pressure only (for example, benzene heated to 100°). 

The most convenient setup for hydrogenation on an intermediate synthetic scale is the Parr low-pressure shaker-type apparatus (Fig. A3.9), in which variable pressures of from 1 to 5 atmospheres (60 psi) may be safely employed. The compound to be hydrogenated (approx. 100 g) is dissolved or suspended in 200 ml of a suitable solvent in a heavy-walled 500-ml bottle. The bottle is placed in the apparatus and clamped in place inside the protective mesh. The flask is briefly evacuated, then filled with hydrogen to the desired pressure. The reaction is initiated by starting the shaker, and the course of the reaction is easily followed by observing the drop in pressure in the bottle and... 

In highly deviated holes, an excessive torque is encountered with conventional drill collars therefore, a heavy wall drill pipe can he used to supply pan of the required weight. 

Heavy-wall drillpipe has approximately twice the usual wall thickness and is usually made from AISI 4140-4I45H. The steel is quenched and tempered to the Rockwell C hardness of various grades from 20 to 28 for grade E, 27 to 30 for grade X-95, 30 to 34 for grade G-105 and 34 to 37 for S 135. 

Consider the use of heavy-wall (thick wall) drillpipe in severely corrosive conditions. Heavy walls reduce stress levels and extend the service life of drill pipe. 

Most drill collars are also made with materials used for tool joints. Here again, heavy walls are used to reduce stress levels.

Coring The term coring in IM refers to the addition of steel to the mold for the purpose of eliminating plastic material in that area. Usually, coring is necessary to create a pocket or opening in the product, or simply for the purpose of reducing an overly heavy wall section. For simplicity and economy in injection molds, cores should be parallel to... 

The polymer obtained is white, opaque, and tough and has a crystalline melting temperature of265° C. The inherent viscosity (r]ir ) is 1.0—1.2 in 96% sulfuric acid (1.0 % solution, 25° C). In the past, prepolymers were prepared from dry PA salt on a small scale in sealed heavy-walled glass tubes. As these heavy-walled tubes are not safe to handle, they should no longer be used. 

To a mixture of 1,3-dibromobenzene (4.36 g, 18.49 mmol), 1,3-phenylene diamine 111 (2.00 g, 18.49 mmol), NaO-t-Bu (3.73 g, 38.84 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.339 g, 0.37 mmol), and BINAP (0.691 g, 1.11 mmol) in a heavy-walled flask equipped with a Teflon valve was added THF (15 mL) under inert atmosphere. The flask was sealed and heated to 90°C. After 24 h, die reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and neutralized using 0.2 mol equivalents of 2.4 N HC1 in MeOH. The polymer was precipitated from hexanes, filtered, and dried under vacuum. The dried polymer was redissolved in THF, filtered through Celite, and reprecipitated. The solid was collected by filtration and dien purified by Soxlilet extraction with CH2C12 overnight. After drying under vacuum, a green-tan solid was obtain in 106% yield.
