Permissible pressure units

Table I Permissible pressure units including the torr 1) and its conversion...

For those condensing duties where permissible pressure loss is less than 0.07kpf/cm there is no doubt but that the tubular unit is most efficient. Under such pressure-drop conditions only a portion of the length of a plate heat exchanger plate would be used and a substantial surface area would be wasted. However, when less restrictive pressure drops are available the plate heat exchanger becomes an excellent condenser, since very high heat transfer coefficients are obtained and the condensation can be carried out in a single pass across the plate. 

Material of construction of the unit, location, and orientation of cleaning manholes, and maximum permissible pressure drop in the unit (at rated gas flow) shall be specified by plant engineers. Reinforcing ribs/flats provided externally. 

The maximum permissible pressures in compartments for MCC pipes and components are given in Table 7 for the Leningrad and Kursk power units 1 and 2. 

A dummy-block is placed against the face of the extrusion ram. For the extrusion of rods the dummy-block is centered on a bolt being inserted in the solid ram and for the extrusion of tubes by means of a hollow ram, on the mandrel. The transition from the cylindrical part of the ram to its flange takes a tapered form. The bearing surface of the flange is dimensioned for a permissible specific unit pressure of about 4,000 kg/cm-. The area of the thrust ring which transmits the ram power to the cross-head, is dimensioned for a surface loading of about 1,500 to 2,000 kg/cm. On account of its stress-concentration index the surface and the central...

Operators are primarily concerned with stable operation and may be leeiy of altering the operation they may fear that operation will drift into a region that cannot be controlled. Supervision may be reluc tant despite their recognizing that a problem exists Any deficiencies with the operation or operating decisions is their responsibility. Permission for conducting the test from the supervisor and the operators will be required. Management cooperation will be required particularly if capital is ultimately needed. Maintenance will be called upon to make modifications to sample locations and perform a sequential pressure measurement. The laboratory personnel, discussed in detail in the next subsection, may view the unit test as an overload to available resources. These concerns must be addressed to ensure accurate sample interpretation. 

Since it is not practical to manufacture a llameproof enclosure due to its size and bulk and the number of knockouts and openings on the doors for switches, metering, indicators, and pushbuttons (PBs) etc., it is common practice to locate the.se assemblies some distance from the affected area in a separate well-ventilated room. Depending upon the location and intensity ol contamination, it may be permissible to meet the requirement by using a pressurized enclosure by maintaining a positive pressure inside the enclosure similar to that for motors (Section 7.1.3..3). When there arc many switchgear assemblies, the room itself can be pressurized, which is safer and easier. Small enclosures, however, such as a PB station, switch or a switch fuse unit or an individual starter unit etc., which can be easily made of MS plates or cast iron, as discussed in Section 7.13, can be mounted in the hazardous area while the main MCC can be installed in the control room, away from the contaminated area and from where the process can be monitored. 

Iron and steel industries have been concerned with emissions from their furnaces and cupolas since the industry started. Pressures for control have forced the companies to such a low level of permissible emissions that some of the older operations have been closed rather than spend the money to comply. The companies controlling these operations have not gone out of business but rather have opened a new, controlled plant to replace each old plant. Table 6-3 illustrates the changes in the steelmaking processes that have occurred in the United States.
