The Room Itself

The floor should not be made of tiles (to avoid joints where contamination might accumulate) but should be covered with a monolithic, impermeable material, which should be continuous from the floor to the walls, without edges. [Pg.33]

An antechamber should be built at the entrance to the room, where disposable protective equipment, such [Pg.33]

The entrance to the room should be clearly labelled to indicate the hazard. [Pg.34]


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. [Pg.363]

It is clear that the "time to lethal concentration" for the smoke from any of the PVC products in the plenum, in all the six scenarios considered, is much longer than the time required for the fuel in the room itself to cause a lethal concentration in the same scenario. [Pg.601]

Whenever the character moves into a new room, the surroundings change. If the player asks to LOOK at the room again, the room description routine provides this information. There are two things to be described the room itself and whatever items it contains. [Pg.62]

I was lying on my back on the floor. Then the room itself vanished and I was sinking, sinking, sinking. From far away I heard very faintly the word "death. I sank faster, turning and... [Pg.301]

Glass shop. This small shop is intended to be a service function for the expeirimenter. The room itself is relatively small but should be adequate for the initial testing program. [Pg.374]

The samples were equilibrated in a thermostated water bath at 20 0.1°C for at least two weeks. The different phases were then taken out separately and each used to fill half of the scattering cell. This cell is also thermostated at 20° 0.1°C. Moreover, it has been found necessary to control the temperature of the room itself (within 0.5°) in order to avoid thermal gradients in the vicinity of the cell windows, which produce a curvature of the interface. The cell must be filled with great care, in order to avoid soap deposit on the cell glass windows. If the windows are not very clean, the measured spectrum can be distorted in a non-Lorentzian shape, and the results become non-reproducible. [Pg.165]

The war itself also drove the development of improved and miniaturised electronic components for creating oscillators and amplifiers and, ultimately, semiconductors, which made practical the electronic systems needed in portable eddy current test instruments. The refinement of those systems continues to the present day and advances continue to be triggered by performance improvements of components and systems. In the same way that today s pocket calculator outperforms the large, hot room full of intercormected thermionic valves that I first saw in the 50 s, so it is with eddy current instrumentation. Today s handheld eddy current inspection instrument is a powerful tool which has the capability needed in a crack detector, corrosion detector, metal sorter, conductivity meter, coating thickness meter and so on. [Pg.273]

The widely used Parylene C owes its popularity ptincipaHy to the room temperature volatiUty of its monomer. The Parylene C monomer, chloro-A-xylylene, has become the de facto performance standard. By comparison, the Parylene N monomer, A"xylylene itself, is too volatile and would perform better ia a sub-ambient temperature deposition system. The Parylene D monomer, dichloro-A-xyljlene [85586-88-5] is too heavy, and causes distribution problems ia larger deposition systems. [Pg.429]

The solvation by plasticiser also gives celluloid thermoplastic properties owing to the reduction in interchain forces. On the other hand since the cellulose molecule is somewhat rigid the product itself is stiff and does not show rubbery properties at room temperature, cf. plasticised PVC. [Pg.619]

The process itself often sets requirements on the ventilation parameters, and it also affects the ventilation—for example, by secondary flows coming from moving wires or trucks. A very special case is clean rooms, where the high purity requirements set strict target conditions for ventilation. [Pg.406]

In a room with perfect mixing of the air, it theoretically does not matter where the exhaust opening is located (Fig. 8.40). In practice, air seldom mixes as completely as in theory. One reason for this is temperature differences or density differences. The contaminants are often warmer than the room air, and in some cases the density of the contaminant itself differs from the air density. These topics are treated in the later paragraphs. This paragraph will focus on isothermal, non-buoyant cases. [Pg.657]

The transfer of heat from a source to a receiver by radiant energy is radiation. The sun transfers its energy to the earth by radiation. A fire in a fireplace is another example of radiation. The fire in the fireplace heats the air in the room and by convection heats up the room. At the same time, when you stand within line of sight of the fireplace, the radiant energy coming from the flame of the fire itself makes you feel warmer than when you are shielded from the line of sight of the flame. Heat is being transferred both by convection and by radiation from the fireplace... [Pg.10]

The engine room itself must additionally provide sufficient noise attenuation as shall be deemed necessary, and there must also be adequate fuel storage, reception and handling facilities. [Pg.196]

The necessary skills should be on-site to attend to any minor faults but must not be allowed to alter settings from one test to another, except as required by the test procedure. Dummy loads should be ready for use. If sensitive equipment is to be present (as might be the case in upgrading computer room plant) then the interested parties must agree limits previously. This may also apply to parts of the plant itself such as humidity-detecting elements. The latter can be protected physically. The job specification should state which parts of the procedure apply (if not all). [Pg.452]

The niobium-zirconium wire used remains superconducting at 4° K. even in the strong field of the solenoid itself. The unique feature of the new apparatus is the very high field homogeneity in the sample region (2 cm. diameter sphere) kept at room temperature (34). [Pg.57]

The conductivity of gelled electrolytes is determined primarily by the liquid and salt components. High liquid content, of the order of 40 percent, is required to attain conductivities comparable with those of the corresponding liquid electrolyte. At these liquid loading levels there is often insufficient mechanical strength, and although this effect may not be noticeable on 1-2 cm2 laboratory cells, it is certainly evident on scale-up [111]. Polymer blends such as PEO-MEEP are much more mechanically stable than MEEP itself and more conductive than PEO but there is little overall improvement of the room tern-... [Pg.514]
