High apparatus

Dynamic properties are more relevant than the more usual quasi-static stress-strain tests for any application where the dynamic response is important. For example, the dynamic modulus at low strain may not undergo the same proportionate change as the quasi-static tensile modulus. Dynamic properties are not measured as frequently as they should be simply because of high apparatus costs. However, the introduction of dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMTA) has greatly widened the availability of dynamic property measurement. 

Probably the main disadvantages of this technique are the relatively rough surface quality obtained and the relatively high apparatus cost. 

In this method, the evaporation material is directly or indirectly heated up and evaporated inductively. Sometimes this method is applied for evaporating larger quantities of film material which become volatile at relatively low temperatures. The employment of this method is restricted however, because of the high apparatus investment and the very limited applicability. 

Alundum is used for highly refractory bricks (m.p. 2000-2100 C), crucibles, ref ractory cement and muffles also for small laboratory apparatus used at high temperatures (combustion tubes, pyrometer tubes, etc.). 

The variation of Bq causes all ions to pass sequentially in front of the exit slit behind which is positioned the photomultiplier detector. The pressure in the apparatus is held at 10 torr in order to achieve mean free paths of ions sufficiently high that all ions emitted from the source are collected. 

During the X-ray apparatus main circuit creation the magnetomotive force for the power winding was selected less than for the high-voltage winding. The yoke cross-section is bigger, than the rod one. 

In this work, a microwave interferometric method and apparatus for vibration measurements is described. The principle of operation is based on measurement of the phase of reflected electromagnetic wave changing due to vibration. The most important features of the method are as follows simultaneous measurement of tlie magnitude and frequency of the rotating object high measurement accuracy weak influence of the roll diameter, shape and distance to the object under test. Besides, tlie reflecting surface can be either metallic or non-metallic. Some technical characteristics are given.

Compared witii other direct force measurement teclmiques, a unique aspect of the surface forces apparatus (SFA) is to allow quantitative measurement of surface forces and intermolecular potentials. This is made possible by essentially tliree measures (i) well defined contact geometry, (ii) high-resolution interferometric distance measurement and (iii) precise mechanics to control the separation between the surfaces. 

The measurement of surface forces calls for a rigid apparatus that exhibits a high force sensitivity as well as distance measurement and control on a subnanometre scale [38]. Most SFAs make use of an optical interference teclmique to measure distances and hence forces between surfaces. Alternative distance measurements have been developed in recent years—predominantly capacitive techniques, which allow for faster and simpler acquisition of an averaged distance [H, 39, 40] or even allow for simultaneous dielectric loss measurements at a confined interface. 

The apparatus consists of a tip-position controller, an electrochemical cell with tip, substrate, counter and reference electrodes, a bipotentiostat and a data-acquisition system. The microelectrode tip is held on a piezoelectric pusher, which is mounted on an inchwomi-translator-driven x-y-z tliree-axis stage. This assembly enables the positioning of the tip electrode above the substrate by movement of the inchwomi translator or by application of a high voltage to the pusher via an amplifier. The substrate is attached to the bottom of the electrochemical cell, which is mounted on a vibration-free table [, and ]. A number...

Mercury is extensively used in various pieces of scientific apparatus, such as thermometers, barometers, high vacuum pumps, mercury lamps, standard cells (for example the Weston cell), and so on. The metal is used as the cathode in the Kellner-Solvay cell (p. 130). 

When constructing a manometer of the type shown in Fig. 12(c), it is impor tant to apply a very high vacuum (e.g., with a Hy-Vac pump) to the manometer while the mercury in the left-hand (sealed) limb is heated until it boils unless this is done, traces of air will remain in this limb and cause inaccurate readings. During a distillation, the tap I should be kept closed except when a pressure reading is being taken if it is left open indefinitely, a sudden default by the distillation apparatus or by the pump may cause the mercury in the sealed limb of G to fly back and fracture the top of the limb.

Finally the cup F is connected by a wider tube H to the base of the condenser C. It is essential that when the condenser C is vertical, the tube H slopes gently downwards as shown from the cup F to the condenser C. Since high-boiling solvents are rarely used in this apparatus the condenser C... 

Apparatus, The Parr Bomb is made of pure nickel, or of nickel-steel with a very high nickel content it remains clean and bright after many operations. Stainless steel is not employed, as it is attacked under the conditions employed. 

A more satisfactory apparatus is depicted in Fig. II, 19, 3. With this all-glass apparatus, the whole side arm may be heated directly with a flame, thus enabling materials melting as high as 200° to be distilled with ease. A liquid forerun may be removed with a bulb pipette. A solid... 

The high-pressure water supply service is employed for the operation of the ordinary filter pump, which finds so many applications in the laboratory. A typical all metal filter pump is illustrated in Fig. 11, 21, 1. It is an advantage to have a non-return valve fitted in the side arm to prevent sucking back if the water is turned off or if the water pressure is suddenly reduced. Theoretically, an efficient filter pump should reduce the pressure in a system to a value equal to the vapour pressure of the water at the temperature of the water of the supply mains. In practice this pressure is rarely attained (it is usually 4 10 mm. higher) because of the leakage of air into the apparatus and the higher temperature of the laboratory. The vapour pressures of water at 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° and 25° are respectively 6-5, 9-2,12-8, 17 5 and 23 8 mm. respectively. It is evident that the vacuum obtained with a water pump will vary considerably with the temperature of the water and therefore with the season of the year in any case a really good vacuum cannot be produced by a filter pump. 

A simple form of apparatus is that in which a cooled condensing surface is supported a few cm. above a shallow, heated pool of liquid, and the whole is enclosed in a highly evacuated chamber (compare Fig. II, 26, 1) this offers the least hindrance to the flow of vapour from the evaporating to the condensing surface. The rate of distillation is then determined by the rate at which the liquid surface is able to produce vapour. When the evaporating... 

Some simple apparatus, suitable for high vacuum distillation, are collected in Figs. 11, 26, 1-4. Fig. 11, 26, 1 represents an apparatus, which is particularly well adapted for solids the ground glass joint must be lubricated with a grease of negligible vapour pressure. Hickman s vacuum still is shown in Fig. 11, 26, 2 it is about 60 mm. in diameter. 

P -f lOROH -f 5Br, — 2H3PO, -f lORBr -f 2H,0 The reaction is of general application with primary alcohols (n propyl to n hexadecyl) the yields are over 90 per cent, of the theoretical, but with secondary alcohols the yields are 50-80 per cent. in the latter case a small quantity of high boiling point by-product is also formed which can, however, be readily removed by fractional distillation. The reaction is conveniently carried out in a special all glass apparatus. 

Reflux a mixture of 68 g. of anhydrous zinc chloride (e.g., sticks), 40 ml. (47 -5 g.) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 18-5 g.

Redistil and collect the pure cc. butyl chloride at 67-69°. The yield is 15 g. 

The small capacity apparatus is especially recommended for the use of students the consumption of iodine by a large class of students is not unreasonably high. Larger apparatus, e.g., 60 ml. and 100 ml. capacity holding 100 g. and 200 g. respectively of iodine, are generally preferred for routine preparations of alkyl iodides the bolt-head flask should then be of 250 or 500 ml. capacity. Thus for n-butyl iodide a typical preparation would employ 120 g. (148-5 ml.) of n.butyl alcohol, 21 75 g. of red phosphorus, and 200 g. of iodine.
