Plastic connections

Provide permanent brazed or welded pipelines from the cylinders to near the points of gas use. Select pipe materials suitable for the gas and its application. Any flexible piping used should be protected against physical damage. Never use rubber or plastic connections from cylinders containing toxic gases. 

Vibration isolator A flexible cloth or plastic connection placed between the source of a vibration, such as a fan housing, and a potential conductor of the vibration, such as ductwork. 

This six-page "newsy" publication is published bi-weekly by the Plastics Connection, Inc, P.O. Box 814, Amherst, MA 01004. It contains news items concerning all aspects of the plastics industry, including cellular plastics. Typical entries include information about mergers, new products, acquisitions, and industry news. 

Subcutaneous implantable devices are composed of a reservoir component made of stainless steel, titanium, or plastic connected to a polyurethane or silicone catheter (Fig. 6.3). The reservoirs are implanted into the subcutaneous tissues in the chest wall, upper arm, or forearm (Jaques et al. 1992 Foley 1995 Kaufman et al. 1996). The stainless steel ports produce significant artifacts on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRl), and are not often used in the chest wall location. Titanium ports cause only local MRI degradation and plastic ports result in minimal CT... 

Dislocation theory as a portion of the subject of solid-state physics is somewhat beyond the scope of this book, but it is desirable to examine the subject briefly in terms of its implications in surface chemistry. Perhaps the most elementary type of defect is that of an extra or interstitial atom—Frenkel defect [110]—or a missing atom or vacancy—Schottky defect [111]. Such point defects play an important role in the treatment of diffusion and electrical conductivities in solids and the solubility of a salt in the host lattice of another or different valence type [112]. Point defects have a thermodynamic basis for their existence in terms of the energy and entropy of their formation, the situation is similar to the formation of isolated holes and erratic atoms on a surface. Dislocations, on the other hand, may be viewed as an organized concentration of point defects they are lattice defects and play an important role in the mechanism of the plastic deformation of solids. Lattice defects or dislocations are not thermodynamic in the sense of the point defects their formation is intimately connected with the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth (see Section IX-4), and they constitute an important source of surface imperfection. 

After the addition of the propyne the thermometer-gas outlet combination was replaced with a "cold finger" filled with dry-ice and acetone. The top of this reflux condenser was connected via a plastic tube with a cold trap (-75°C) containing 50 ml of dry THF. The cooling bath was removed and the conversion of propyne started... 

Appanztus 5-1 round-bottomed, wide-necked flask with a mechanical stirrer for the preparation of CH3CEC-SCH3 2-1 round-bottomed flask and a rubber stopper, perforated by a glass tube, internal diameter 4-5 mm the glass tube, when placed on the flask, reached nearly to the bottom of the flask the upper end of the glass tube was connected to a plastic tube. 

A suspension of 0.40 mol of sodium amide in 300 ml of liquid ammonia was prepared as described in Chapter II, Exp. 11. To the suspension was added with swirling a mixture of 0.25 mol of CHgCeC-S-Ph (see Chapter IV, Exp. 14) and 40 ml of THE in about 2 min (note 1). Swirling was continued after the addition. Three minutes later (note 1) the stopper with glass tube was placed on the flask. The brown solution was forced through the glass tube and the plastic tube, connected to it under 400 g of finely crushed ice, which was contained in a 3-1 conical flask (see Chapter I, Fig. 3, and accompanying description of this operation). The flask was placed for... 

Apparatus See Fig. 7 size of the flask, 2 1 a gas-tight stirrer should be used the top of the condenser was connected uia a plastic tube to 2 tubes filled with lumps of CaCl2- These tubes in turn were connected to 2 cold traps (-80°C) each of which contained 40 ml THF or CH3OCH2CH2OCH3 (free from peroxides). 

The earliest ball and stick models were exactly that wooden balls in which holes were drilled to ac commodate dowels that connected the atoms Plastic versions including relatively inexpensive student sets became available in the 1960s and proved to be a valuable learning aid Precisely scaled stainless steel framework and plastic space filling models although relatively expensive were standard equipment in most research laboratories...

Liquids. Liquids usually are moved through pipelines (qv) by pumps. Special alloys, plastic pipe and liners, glass, and ceramics are widely employed in the chemical industry for transport of corrosive hquids. Care is required in making the connections, to prevent exposure of unprotected metal such as flanges and bolts to the corrosive material inside the piping. 

Battery assembly using cylindrical cells varies, and ceU-to-ceU connections are spot welded after using either flat tabs or cup tabs. CeU-to-ceU insulation is effected either by using plastic cell jackets (shrink-on) or by inserting cells in plastic modules with each cell occupj-ing its own cavity. 

The first commercial boards usiag electroless plating for connection between the sides were made by Motorola ia 1953 (41). An unclad plastic board was coated with electroless silver, a reverse resist appHed, and copper electroplated to the required circuit thickness. The resist and excess silver were removed. This semi-additive process is stiU used, with copper replacing the silver.
