Set value

Long-term compression set resistance is described in Figure 4. Lower set values are achievable by use of higher viscosity gumstock at comparable cross-link densities. Compression set resistance is also very dependent on the cure system chosen. The bisphenol cure system offers the best compression set resistance available today, as shown in Table 5. 

In some analog PID controllers, the integral and derivative terms are combined serially rather than in parallel as done in the last equation. This results in interaction between these modes, such that the effective values of the controller parameters differ from their set values as follows ... 

A pressure rise in the reactor would cause an increase in process pressure above the set value, send a signal to the governor, and thus, reduce the speed, lower the flow, and thereby, maintain the desired system pressure. 

A process pressure increase over a set value would cause a signal to reach the suction throttle valve and would close the valve in order to reduce the inlet pressure. 

Dimethylsilicone rubbers show a high compression set which can be reduced to some extent by additives such as mercurous oxide and cadmium oxide. These materials are undesirable, however, because of their toxicity. Substantially reduced compression set values may be obtained by using a polymer containing...

Criteria Set values used to establish guidelines for air or water quality standards. 

Decay method The time from the liberation of a given concentration of a tracer gas into a space before its concentration decreases to a set value in the air. 

A governor valve controls the flow of steam to the turbine. This valve is actuated by the governor, which is operated by the speed of the machine. When the speed exceeds the set value of the governor, a trip-valve is actuated to completely shut off the steam supply. The trip valve may... 

Conditional statements—Change the sequence in which instructions are executed depending upon the logical relationship(s) between variables and/ or between variable(s) and set value(s). 

At all stages of the electrolysis the electronic voltmeter reads the potential difference between the cathode and the reference electrode, and the required limiting value of this potential difference is entered into the potentiostat. If the measured potential at any instant differs from the pre-set value, the potentiostat will adjust the current flowing to restore the required potential difference. 

Biostat. This is also known as a turbidostat. It is a system where cell growth is controlled and remains constant while the flow rate of fresh media does not remain constant. Cell density is controlled based on set value for turbidity, which is created by the cell population while fresh media is continuously supplied. A turbidostat is shown in Figure 5.8. 

The development and the very widespread use of the polarographic technique to record i-E curves and the more recent designing of electronic devices known as potentiostats which automatically control the potential of the working electrode at a pre-set value has led to many examples in the literature of organic electrode reactions whose products depend on the potential. Some examples are cited below ... 

De Sarkar et al. [52] have reported a series of new TPEs from the blends of hydrogenated SBR and PE. These binary blends are prepared by melt mixing of the components in an internal mixer, such as Brabender Plasticorder. The tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus, set, and hysteresis loss of such TPEs are comparable to conventional rubbers and are excellent. At intermediate blend ratio, the set values show similarity to those typical of TPEs (Table 5.5).

The F-test indicates the dependence of die dependent variables widi the independent variables, P level indicates the statistical significance of the correlafion(Table 4). The F-test results for the relation of the amount of ortho methylol phenols with F/P molar ratio and the reaction temperature were low, however, for the OH/P wt %, the F-test result was very significant, indicating a clear dependence of ortho methylol phenols on the OH/P wt %. It can also be seen that P level values for the relation between the amount of ortho methylol phenols and both F/P molar ratio and reaction temperature are above the set P value of 0.05, while for the OH/P wt%, the P value is under the set value. This data indicated that the relations of dependent variables ortho methylol phenols with independent variable OH/P wt% is statistically significant at the 0.05 significmitx level, while tiie relation of dependent variables ortho methylol phenols with F/P molar ratio and reaction temperature are not statistically significant. 

Potentiostatic conditions are realized with electronic potentiostats. The potential of the working electrode is monitored continuously with the aid of a reference electrode. When the potential departs from a set value, the potentiostat will adjust the current flow in the cell automatically so as to restore the original value of potential. Important characteristics of potentiostats are their rise time and the maximum currents which they can deliver to the cell. Modem high-quality potentiostats have rise times of 10 to 10 s. 

In routine analysis, often a one-dimensional so-called end-point titration can be automatically carried out up to a pre-set pH or potential value and with a previously chosen overall titration velocity in order to avoid overshoot, the inflection point should be sufficiently sharp and the titrant delivery must automatically diminish on the approach to that point in order to maintain equilibrium, and stop in time at the pre-set value. For instance, the Metrohm 526 end-point titrator changes both the dosing pulse length and its velocity by means of a pulse regulator in accordance with the course of the titration curve in fact, the instrument follows the titration two-dimensionally, but finally reports only a one-dimensional result. The Radiometer ETS 822 end-point titration system offers similar possibilities. However, automated titrations mostly represent examples of a two-dimensional so-called eqilibrium titration, where the titration velocity is inversely proportional to the steepness of the potentiometric titration curve hence the first derivative of the curve can usually also be recorded as a more accurate means of determining the inflection... 

In addition to normal compression set test conditions, usually 22 hours at 70 °C in a hot air oven, pharmaceutical elastomeric closures may be subjected to compression set conditions simulating steam sterilization cycles in an autoclave for 30 minutes at 121 °C. Also, sterilizing cycles employing ETO, radiation, or dry heat are used. Comparison data between formulations are used to develop compression set values that will identify potentially acceptable compounds under these conditions. 

The discrimination limit in screening may have different character. It may be a detection limit or a pre-set value set by a responsible authority, e.g., an official agency, medical institutions, or clients.
