The main scale minerals present and associated radionuclide enrichments are common to a number of the key NORM industries shown in Table 1. 

DIN = German industry norm TC-TM = Technochemie test method. To convert to cal, divide by 4.184. 

The majority of centrifugal pumps have performance curves with the aforementioned profiles. Of course, special design pumps have curves with variations. Eor example, positive displacement pumps, multi-stage pumps, regenerative turbine type pumps, and pumps with a high specific speed (Ns) fall outside the norm. But you ll find that the standard pump curve profiles are applicable to about 95% of all pumps in the majority of industrial plants. The important thing is to become familiar with pump curves and know how to interpret the information. 

Nonconformities are not OFIs - hence an OFI is an area where the supplier is compliant but performance is below industry norm. 

In many process industries, food factories, meat packing plants, textiles plants, commercial laundries and other facilities, wide load swings are the norm rather than the exception, so that maintaining adequate steam purity is often very difficult. 

The ever-increasing power of the food industry makes a mockery of free enterprise, as farmers find markets difficult to enter (Merrigan, 1997). One supermarket in America advertises itself as supermarket to the world . Farms have got bigger in America, particularly in the livestock industry, with pigs housed in lots of 3000 or more, cattle herds numbering tens of thousands and broiler units of 500 000 hens these are in danger of becoming the norm. 

Optimisation of software (generic format) would be auspicious, but even no generally accepted norms are available. Specialised MS, FTIR and ToF-SIMS computer-based industrial additive libraries are the necessary support for analytical developments. Web-based data mining tools are also starting to become available. 

The problem for environmental management institutions and industrial establishments in developing countries (and in developed countries as well, but to a lesser extent) is that they are not aware of the potential of preventive measures, such as the reduction of excess process inputs and the utilization of nonproduct outputs to meet environmental norms. In some cases, these countries... 

ERPG data are shown in Table 5-6. To date, 47 ERPGs have been developed and are being reviewed, updated, and expanded by an AIHA peer review task force. Because of the comprehensive effort to develop acute toxicity values, ERPGs are becoming an acceptable industry/ government norm. 

The classical royalty model has long been the norm, and is still well accepted for the manufacture of fine chemicals or commodities where the production costs are a very significant part of the final price of the product. However, our experience is that this model is not well accepted in the Life Science Industry and often presents a real hurdle for the application of proprietary technology for the production of new chemical entities. The all-inclusive model takes care of these concerns, and allows the customer to compare competing solutions on the basis of actual costs as well as of their potential for improvement. The same is true for volume-independent payments, and for both methods all process improvements totally benefit the customer s bottom line and are not reduced by increasing royalty fees. 

Risks can be managed in many ways. They can be eliminated, transferred, retained or reduced. Risk reduction activities reduce the risk to an acceptable level, derived after taking into account a selection of factors such as government policy, industry norms, and economic, social and cultural factors. 

Risk insurance is the method chosen when the possible losses are financially too great to retain internally by risk acceptance and in some cases too expensive to prevent or avoid. However even the risk insurers will want to satisfy themselves that adequate precautions are being taken at facilities they are underwriting. Thus, they will look very carefully at risks they feel are above the industry norm or have high loss histories. 

ICI ETB attempted to define an industry norm for electrolysers in order to ascertain the effect of changing different parameters. Determination of the industry norms for electrolysers in 1999 provided the following ... 

The powerful parties who had vested interests in the institutionalized conventions used their resources to maintain the status quo or introduced practices that confirmed established conventions. Industry routines have been reinforced, norms solidified, and broadcast content generalized. (Leblebici, Salancik, Copay, c King, 1991). 

The Office of Naval Research, Propulsion Program, has funded much of the work on partially premixed flames at Purdue University. The National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Purdue Research Foundation have also supported some of the work at Purdue on this subject. Mr. Jong Mook Lim, who is supported by Hyundai Heavy Industries, completed the experiments and the computations. The author acknowledges many useful interactions with Linda Blevins, Kent Lyle, B. J. Alder, Norm Lau-rendeau, Tadao Takeno, and Steve Frankel.

The Duns Financial Records Plus (DFR) database provides a balance sheet, income statement, and fourteen of the more widely used business ratios for measuring solvency, efficiency, and profitability. DFR also provides industry norms and percentages that can be used to compare a toller s financial position to that of their...
