To obtain coulometric conversion not only must the appropriate operating potential and other conditions be used, but also the analyte must be present in the cell for enough time for the reaction to proceed to completion. Higher temperatures increase the reaction and diffusion rates and the original Coulochem had built-in heaters to maintain a temperature of 40 °C. However, such heaters generally produced an unacceptable increase in baseline noise. A better way to work at elevated temperatures is to place the column and EC cell in a suitable oven. 

Work falls are comparatively rare incidents in relation to all other accidents injuries, however, are not seldom fatal. The study to be presented here will analyse the work and safety conditions of elevated work places and suggest additional safety measures. It will emphasize the integrated employment of accident-centered and accident-independent methods to thoroughly study a well-known safety problem. 

The accident analysis presented up to this point has concentrated on individual characteristics of accidents related to persons, objects and work places. In order to arrive at more exact indications for preventive measures, it is necessary to ascertain the special work activities or individual types of work places, at which the involved occupational groups are especially liable to accidents. Such an analysis based on official accident records is possible for various types of elevated work places. The analysis simultaneously provides the reference data for the comparisons between objective risk data and subjective risk estimates, which will be described later. 

Medium-sized loads are often processed ia a beU furnace, as shown ia Figure 2. The operation of this furnace is opposite to that of an elevator furnace the work load is placed on a stationary hearth and the furnace is lowered over the hearth. BeU furnaces are often arranged with two or more bases (hearths) which permit more efficient use of the furnace because one base can be unloaded/loaded as the furnace carries out a heating cycle on another base. 

Beryllium is a light metal (s.g. 1 -85) with a hexagonal close-packed structure (axial ratio 1 568). The most notable of its mechanical properties is its low ductility at room temperature. Deformation at room temperature is restricted to slip on the basal plane, which takes place only to a very limited extent. Consequently, at room temperature beryllium is by normal standards a brittle metal, exhibiting only about 2 to 4% tensile elongation. Mechanical deformation increases this by the development of preferred orientation, but only in the direction of working and at the expense of ductility in other directions. Ductility also increases very markedly at temperatures above about 300°C with alternative slip on the 1010 prismatic planes. In consequence, all mechanical working of beryllium is carried out at elevated temperatures. It has not yet been resolved whether the brittleness of beryllium is fundamental or results from small amounts of impurities. Beryllium is a very poor solvent for other metals and, to date, it has not been possible to overcome the brittleness problem by alloying. 

Because of the multiple degradation pathways that may take place at elevated temperature, protein stability monitoring data may not conform to the Arrhenius relationship, and the maximum temperature selected for accelerated stability studies must be carefully selected. Gu et al. [32] described the different mechanisms of inactivation of interleukin-1 (3 (IL-1 (3) in solution above and below 39°C. In this example, the multiple mechanisms precluded the prediction of formulation shelf life from accelerated temperature data. In contrast, by working at 40° C and lower, Perlman and Nguyen [33] were able to successfully extrapolate data from stability studies of tissue plasminogen activator down to 5°C. 

It is not surprising that the main theoretical work and practical development of models and procedures in this respect took place in countries like the United States, Australia and South Africa. These countries have extended sewer networks, transporting wastewater at elevated temperatures (approximately 20-30°C). Also, the United Kingdom contributed to this development. 

Fire safety practices such as housekeeping, hot work permits, and elevated work should be in place during installation. The owner s representative should make periodic progress inspections to check for nonconformance issues and good work practices. 

A capillary will work properly for a long time if special care is exercised both during experiments and when the electrode is not in use. An important rule of thumb is that solutions should never enter the capillary. The mercury reservoir should always be elevated and the flow of mercury observed before the capillary is placed in solution. When the polarographic work is finished, the DME should be withdrawn from the cell and transferred to a beaker containing distilled water (or a nonaqueous solvent, if used). Mercury should drop there for several minutes to wash the end of the capillary. Finally, the capillary should be carefully washed with distilled water.
