Tools density

With a little effort, we have constructed the tools—density of states, its decompositions, the crystal orbital overlap population—that allow us to move from a complicated, completely delocalized set of crystal orbitals or Bloch functions to the localized, chemical description. There is no mystery... 

The gradients may be caloulated from surface fluid densities, or may be directly measured by downhole pressure measurements using the repeat formation testing tool (RFT). The interfaces predicted can be used to confirm wireline measurements of fluid contact. 

The formation density log is the main tool for measuring porosity. It measures the bulk density of a small volume of formation in front of the logging tool, which is a mixture of minerals and fluids. Providing the rock matrix and fluid densities are known the relative proportion of rock and fluid (and hence porosity) can be determined. 

The bulk density measured by the logging tool is the weighted average of the rock matrix and fluid densities, so that ... 

The sonic tool measures the time taken for a sound wave to pass through the formation. Sound waves travel in high density (i.e. low porosity) formation faster than in low density (high porosity) formation. The porosity can be determined by measuring the transit time for the sound wave to travel between a transmitter and receiver, provided the rock matrix and fluid are known. 

Pulsed ECM (PECM) may be a promising way to improve dimensional accuracy control and also to simplify tool design. Accuracies as fine as 0.002 mm have been quoted using current pulse lengths of ca 0.2 to 2.0 ms, at current densities of 55 A/cm. Pulse offtimes are from 1 to 2 ms (7). 

Smoothing of Rough Surfaces. The simplest and a very common appHcation of ECM is deburring. An example is given in Eigure 2a, where a plane cathode tool is placed opposite a workpiece. The current densities at the peaks of the surface irregularities ate higher than those elsewhere. The former are therefore removed preferentially, and the workpiece becomes smoothed (8). 

Small complex tool steel parts are being made by conventional compaction and sintering in vacuum to near theoretical density. AppHcations include spade drills, knife blades, slotting cutters, insert blades for gear cutters, reamer blades, and cutting tool inserts. 

Density and Ink Film Thickness. Because ink film thickness directly impacts color, it is important to control film thickness on press. The amount of ink transferred to paper, along with a related factor, dot gain, which refers to how the halftone dots spread under the pressure of the printing process, is the tool by which a press operator monitors color on press. 

Because high quaHty, low cost, and optimum performance are required for spray equipment, improved analytical and experimental tools are iadispensable for increasing productivity ia many competitive iadustries. In most iastances, it is no longer adequate to characterize a spray solely on the basis of flow rate and spray pattern. Information on droplet size, velocity, volume flux, and number density is often needed and can be determined usiag advanced laser diagnostic techniques. These improvements have benefited a wide spectmm of consumer and specialized iadustrial products.
