The first 3 items of the above list (waveguides, transducers and preamplifiers) are located at or near to the component(s) to be monitored. The other items must be installed in the control room area, mounted into a single instrumentation rack (fig. 4). 

For the examination of the applied metallic or ceramic layer, the test object is heated up from the outside The heat applying takes place impulse-like (4ms) by xenon-flash lamps, which are mounted on a rack The surface temperature arises to approx 150 °C Due to the high temperature gradient the warmth diffuses quickly into the material An incorrect layer, e g. due to a delamiation (layer removal) obstructs the heat transfer, so that a higher temperature can be detected with an infrared camera. A complete test of a blade lasts approximatly 5 minutes. This is also done automatically by the system. In illustration 9, a typical delamination is to be recognized. 

Stmctural insulation boards are used primarily for wall sheathing in constmctions where wall diaphragm racking resistance is provided by other means, such as stmctural panel corner bracing or metal strip bracing. Where allowed by building codes, these methods of constmction do provide more economical constmction. 

Panels then move into a cooling device, normally a wheel or rack, where they are held individually and air is circulated between them to remove the majority of heat remaining in the boards after pressing. It is desirable to reduce the average board surface temperature to about 55°C. This temperature is sufficient to complete the cure of adhesive in the core of the board. The heat also helps to redistribute moisture uniformly within the boards, because the board surfaces are drier than the core when the boards come out of the press. Warm boards are normally stacked for several hours to a day to allow for resin cure and moisture equalization. 

Acetal resins are also used extensively in transportation, especially automotive. Handles and internal components (gears, gear racks, cables) for window lifts and other similar devices are examples. Most of the appHcations which do not involve painting or plating are below the window line. Many common consumer items are manufactured essentially entirely from acetal resin (eg, disposable lighters) or have critical components molded from acetal resin (eg, hubs and platforms for videocassettes). The properties that make acetal resins useful in industrial appHcations make them useful for internal components, especially mechanical drive systems, of many household appHances. 

A rack and frame press uses heavy nylon cloth positioned in a wooden frame inside a rack. A measured amount of apple or other fmit mash is added from a hopper above the frame. The mash is leveled with a hand trowel and the edges of the nylon cloth are folded over the mash to encase it and create a cheese. The frame is removed, and a second rack is placed on top of the first cheese the process is repeated until a stack of cheeses is prepared. A hydrauhc ram then appHes gradually increa sing pressure on the stack and expresses the juice. A high yield of juice (80%) is obtained and no press aid is required. Because this process is labor intensive (17), it is mostly used for small farm and pilot-plant operations. 

Use of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes is becoming increasingly popular for clarification of apple juice. AH particulate matter and cloud is removed, but enzymes pass through the membrane as part of the clarified juice. Thus pasteurization before UF treatment to inactivate enzymes prevents haze formation from enzymatic activity. Retention of flavor volatiles is lower than that using a rack-and-frame press, but higher than that using rotary vacuum precoat-filtration (21). 

When drying catde hides in tropical arid climates, the hides are scraped clean of desh, then stretched on racks, and dried slowly in the shade. An apphcation of an insecticide may be used. This method is slow, labor intensive, and unreHable for heavy hides. The system is only used in mral tropical areas and is not appHcable to modem commercial catde hide production (3). 

The layout should ensure that exhausts are not placed close to fresh air intakes and that fire sprinkler protection for present and future requirements, eg, under stairs, storage racks, overhangs, covered walks, etc, is available. AH facility equipment must be stmcturaHy secured as well as freeze protected. 

Example of an HACCP System. The HACCP system can be used to ensure production of a safe cooked, sHced turkey breast with gravy, which has been vacuum packaged in a flexible plastic pouch and subjected to a final heat treatment prior to distribution (37). Raw turkey breasts are trimmed, then injected with a solution containing sodium chloride and sodium phosphate. Next, the meat is placed into a tumbler. After tumbling, the meat is stuffed into a casing, placed onto racks, and moved into a cook tank, where it is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 71.1°C (160°F). After...

Immersion Gleaning. The simplest method for using an alkaline cleaner is by immersion. A part is placed on a hook or rack and immersed ia the cleaner solution so that all of the part is below the Hquid level. A typical concentration, temperature, and process time for an immersion cleaner would be ca 75 g/L at 77°C for 5 min. In addition to being the simplest method, immersion is also among the least expensive in terms of equipment. Only a vessel to contain the cleaning solution and a means of heating the solution are needed. 

Screening. A 100-g sample of mica is usually used for this test, plus a rack of six Tyler sieves and a pan. The stack of sieves containing the sample is rotated, and after screening, the mica remaining on each screen is weighed and the percentage retained is calculated. A combination of wet and dry screening may also be used to determine particle size distribution of fine mica (<0.147 mm ( — 100 mesh)).

The vessel can be supported off the stmcture and sometimes off the rack. Some economy may be possible by combining two or more services into a common vessel by using a single vessel that has an internal head. Differential pressure as weU as concerns over internal leakage need to be considered for these services. This can be done with vertical vessels as weU. A knockout section can be provided below or above the main vessel. 

Multielevation piperacks are usually needed to handle all the required services for piping, electrical, utilities, and instmmentation. The two-level rack is one of the most common but three-level ones are also used. The utility lines are usually mn in the upper level and the process lines in the lower levels. The larger-diameter lines are located to the outside of the rack to be closest to the column supports. Access platforms are required at the battery limit to provide operators access to the block valves and blinds. If long mns of hot pipe are required, a portion of the pipe rack needs to be dedicated to an expansion loop. A horizontal space in the piperack is provided for a set of lines to be flat-turned into a set of expansion loops with the large pipes located on the outside. AH of the pipe turns are in the same horizontal plane, which is an exception to normal piping practice. A flat turn takes up and blocks space for other pipes. Flat turns are generally only made from the outside of the rack to minimize this blockage. 

The location of the pipe in the rack is selected to minimize the congestion and eliminate line crossing. If a process line connects two nozzles which are elevated higher than the piperack, then the upper level of the rack is used. Similarly, if the nozzles are both below the piperack, then the lower level rack is used. Other cases in which one nozzle is below and the other above use the least congested part of the piperack. Lines with valves are more easily accessed from the upper level, but require an access platform. 

Figure 12 shows the plan and elevation views of a process unit piping (9). A dmm is supported off the piperack. Heat exchangers are located far enough back from the support columns so that they are accessible and their shell covers can be removed. Pumps are located underneath the piperack, but sufficient room is provided for maintenance equipment to access the motors and to remove the pump if necessary. The motor is always oriented away from the process equipment and located on that side of the piperack. Instmment valve drops are shown supported from the columns. The instmment trays themselves mn on the outside of the support columns. Flat turns are only made from the outside position of the piperack. Nozzle-to-nozzle pipe mns are made whenever possible. Larger lines are located on the outside of the piperack. Connections to nozzles above the rack are made from the top...
