Standardization and Technique

Thermogravimetry needs a check of the accuracy of temperature, mass, and time measurements. Practically all thermobalances are capable of producing good data with only infrequent checks of the calibration via a standard mass. Since changes in volume of the sample take place, a buoyancy correction should be done routinely. The mass, m, of the displaced gas can easily be calculated from the ideal gas law (m = pMAV/RT). [Pg.437]

The packing of the sample is of importance if gases are evolved during the experiment because they may seriously affect the equilibrium. Questions of gas flow and convection effects should be addressed, and, if needed, eUminated by proper baffling. Noise in a thennogravimetric curve can often be attributed to irregular [Pg.437]

Time-calibration, as discussed in Sect. 4.1, poses little problems. Any good watch or stop watch, as well as the internal clocks of computers, are usually adequate for the relatively slow heating rates used in thermogravimetry. For standard of time, see Fig. 4.3. [Pg.438]


U.S. EPA, Model Standards and Techniques for Control of Radon in New Residential Buildings, EPA 402-R-94-009, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, March 1994. [Pg.1300]

A review of the literature on experiments to assess possible chronic effects, especially mutagenic activity and carcinogenicity, of the irritant and vesicant agents reveals that these effects have not been studied systematically by current standards and techniques. [Pg.103]

Chief, Technical Department. The present chief holds the rank of professor of paper conservation, polytechnic level. He is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of restoration standards and techniques used by the Center and field workshops. [Pg.41]

This article is designed to facilitate the understanding of the general principles of tablet press instrumentation and the benefits thereof by the formulators, process engineers, validation specialists, and quality assurance personnel, as well as production floor supervisors who would like to understand the basic standards and techniques of getting information about their tableting process. [Pg.3684]

The Act also required EPA to work with organizations involved in establishing national building construction standards and techniques and to soKcit public comments to develop model construction standards and techniques for controlling radon levels in new buildings. The Act further required EPA to work to ensure that the model standards and techniques so developed were adopted by the appropriate private and governmental entities. [Pg.616]

The EPA issued Model Standards and Techniques for the Control of Radon in New Residential Buildings in 1994. The publication was intended to serve as a model for jurisdictions developing building codes or standards apphcable to their radon control requirements, primarily for one- and two-family homes and other residential buildings of three stories or less. There is no requirement in the Act that new homes meet any specific radon level or that private home owners must test their homes. Consistent with its limited authority under the Act, the EPA was careful to point out in several sections that the Model Standards were not intended to supersede radon resistant... [Pg.616]

Model construction standards and techniques. Technical assistance to States for radon programs. [Pg.829]

Another objective of this book is to provide a reference textbook to practicing pavement engineers and materials testing laboratory staff, working in countries employing European or American standards and techniques. [Pg.863]

Major Offshore Events The deveiopment of safety systems is iargeiy driven by iessons iearned from incidents, particuiariy catastrophic events. This chapter provides an overview of some of the incidents that have ied to the deveiopment of new offshore safety standards and techniques, in addition to describing important offshore incidents, three events from other industries are aiso described because ot the impact that they had on aii industriai satety management programs. [Pg.9]

However, it is often criticized that multi-ton quantities cannot be reduced representatively to 1 g samples burnt in conventional bombs and that milling MSW to 2 mm particles alters the composition. To check this criticism a - compared with the usual instruments - huge combustion calorimeter was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Techniques in Gaithersburg, MD/USA [144]. With a combuster of about 0.2 m volume in a calorimeter of 1.33 m outer diame-... [Pg.210]
