Lower cost per fL of heat-transfer surface. Replaceable straight tubes allow for easy internal cleaning. Full tube bundle minimizes shell-side bypassing. No packedjoints or internal gaskets, so hot and cold fluids cannot mix due to gasket failure. 

There are many parts in pumps and pump seals. It is important to check all the details of internal gaskets and the internal construction of a pump to be certain these parts are compatible with the process fluids being pumped. 

ICIFM-21SP Monopolar Electrolyzers. Id s EM-21 SP monopolar electrolyzer incorporates stamped electrodes that are 2 mm thick and of a relatively small (0.2 m ) size (50). The electrolyte compartments are created by molded gaskets between two of the electrode plates the electrode spacing is finite and is estabHshed by gasket thickness. The electrode frames are supported from rails and are compressed between one fixed and one floating end plate by tie rods. Inlet and outlet streams are handled by internal manifolds. A crosscut view of the electrolyzer is shown in Eigure 21. As of 1989, ICI had Hcensed 20 plants having an annual capacity of 468,250 t of NaOH. 

Smaller amounts of phosphoms, or elemental phosphoms-containing materials, are also shipped in 115-L (30-gal) dmms that are DOT regulated (U.S. DOT lAl or 1A2 classification) and have thick shells and special gaskets and fittings for protection. Quantities up to 0.5 kg (1 lb) are allowed for shipping in two hermetically sealed (soldered), nested cans inside a wooden box where the empty space is filled with vermiculite (U.S. DOT 4C1, 4C2, 4D, or 4F classification). AH air transportation of elemental P, both U.S. and international, was prohibited beginning in 1992. 

Thiokol elastomers possess fairly low tensile and tear properties. However, they have exceUent resistance to both aHphatic and aromatic solvents at room temperature and slightly elevated temperatures. The Thiokol division of Morton International Corporation is the suppHer of polysulftde elastomers in the United States. It is estimated that 1360—1600 t are used aimually in the United States. The primary use of polysulftde is in seals, gaskets, roUs, and diaphragms where solvent resistance and low permeabiHty are useful. 

At low latex soHds-to-pulp ratios, ie, 10—20 pph, latex is added to the beaten pulp to give a paper web with superior web strength, elongation, bursting strength, internal bond, and tear strength. The nitrile latices and medium styrene—butadiene are commonly used as beater additions. In a similar manner, latex can be deposited on asbestos fibers. Such compositions are used as gaskets, linoleum bases, etc. 

The exhaust casing shall be provided with at least one manway opening with gasketed cover for internal casing access by personnel.
