Long rupture

Long Rupture A section of pipe is removed leading to two sources of gas. Each section being vented in an opening whose cross sectional areas are equal to the cross sectional area of the pipe (e g., pipeline external impact and a section is removed). 

Long Rupture life >500 hours) at upper use temperature under high tensile stress (allows long-term CMC component service)... 

Film Rupture. Another general mechanism by which foams evolve is the coalescence of neighboring bubbles via film mpture. This occurs if the nature of the surface-active components is such that the repulsive interactions and Marangoni flows are not sufficient to keep neighboring bubbles apart. Bubble coalescence can become more frequent as the foam drains and there is less Hquid to separate neighbors. Long-Hved foams can be easHy... 

Resistance to common aircraft fluids such as water, salt water, hydraulic fluid and jet fuel is determined by additional shear testing after exposure to these fluids. Since adhesives are typically only exposed at bond edges, are protected by secondary primers and enamels and are not expected to be exposed to these fluids (save for water) for extended periods, exposure time prior to testing is relatively short. Lastly, the adhesive is tested for propensity to creep rupture under load in standard and aggressive environments. This testing indicates whether the polymer is crosslinked sufficiently to resist long-term creep under low load. 

Isometric data from the creep curves may also be superimposed on the creep rupture data in order to give an indication of the magnitudes of the strains involved. Most plastics behave in a ductile manner under the action of a steady load. The most notable exceptions are polystyrene, injection moulding grade acrylic and glass-filled nylon. However, even those materials which are ductile at short times tend to become embrittled at long times. This can cause... 

The fault tree (Figure 7.4-1) has "Pre.ssure Tank Rupture" as the top event (gate G1). This may result from random failure of the tank under load (BEl), OR the gate G2, "Tank ruptures due to overpressure" which is made of BE6 "Relief valve fails to open" AND G3, "Pump motor operates too long." This is made of BE2, "Timer contacts fail to open," AND G4, "Negative feedback loop inactive" which is composed of BE3, "Pressure gauge stuck," OR BE4, "Operator fails to open switch," OR "BE5, "Switch fails to open,"... 

Chemical process materials, regardless of toxicity are benign as long as they are confined. They may release either by rupturing the confinement through designed exits such as release valves. 

On July 28,1948, a rail car containing liquefied dimethyl ether ruptured and released its entire contents. The rupture was due to the generation of excessive pressures created by long solar exposure following initial overfilling. The gas was ignited after 10 to 25 seconds. The ensuing vapor cloud explosion caused the death of 207 people and injured 3818.

Daily monitoring of API gravity provides the operator with a tool to predict changes in unit operation. For the same distillation range, the 26°API feed cracks more easily than the 24 API feed because the 26 API feed has more long-chain paraffinic molecules. In contact with the I, -100 F (704 C) catalyst, these molecules are easier to rupture into valuable products.

Small and long specimens of tensile bar shape specimens have their major change in dimensions in the necked-down section. The specimen is mounted between a pendulum head and crosshead clamp on the pendulum of an impact tester. The pendulum is released and it swings past a fixed anvil that halts the crosshead clamp. The pendulum head continues forward, carrying the forward portion of the ruptured specimen. The energy loss (tensile impact energy) is recorded, as well as whether the failure appeared to be of a brittle or ductile type. 

As flow velocities increase, chelant attack becomes substantially worse, with the flow pattern being reflected in the form of U-shaped depressions and long tails (comet tails). Thinning continues until boiler failure occurs through a rupture of the thinned metal surface. In areas of high stress and/or high turbulence, attack is greatly enhanced and may be very localized.
