There are two general classes of fuel oil-distillates and residuals. The distillates are the substances that distil off from petroleum. The residuals are the remaining residues or blends of these residues with distillates. These two classes are further divided into grades based on the type of equipment in which they are used... There are two grades of distillate fuels and four grades of residual fuels. Grade No. 1 is a light distillate fuel oil used in vaporizing-type burners.... Grade No. 2 is a heavier distillate than Grade No. 1 and is used in atomizing-type burners for domestic and commercial heating. 1, record 10, English, - grade%20No%2E%202%20fuel%20oil

Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness.

Tin Plate.... When coated by the hot-dip process, the tin plate was termed coke tin plate or charcoal tin plate. When coated by the electrolytic process, it is termed electrolytic tin plate.... Hot-Dipped Tin Plate. Tin plate formerly was produced by the hot-dip tinning of thin plates that had been hammered or rolled from bars of puddled iron. The pig iron used in pudding might have been made in blast furnaces using charcoal or coke as fuel. Plates made from "charcoal iron" were considered a more ductile and higher grade product; hence, tin plate made by coating charcoal-iron plates with tin(charcoal tin plate) was regarded as a product of higher quality than tin plate with a coke-iron base(coke tin plate). At present, the designation "charcoal tin plate" merely indicates plate with a relatively heavy tin coating as compared with "coke tin plate" as described below, and has no significance so far as quality of the steel base is concerned. 2, record 14, English, - charcoal%20plate
Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Various grades of hot-dipped tin plate were produced, the terminology indicating in a general way the weight of tin coating or, more exactly, the amount of tin used to produce the given unit or base box of plate. Coke tin plate has always designated the plate produced with the lowest amount of tin and formerly was called Cokes or Common Cokes. In ascending weight of coating, the various grades were Common Cokes, Standard Cokes, Best Cokes, and Kanners Special. Charcoal tin plate carries still heavier coatings including 1A and 2A. 2, record 14, English, - charcoal%20plate

Domestic burners usually are confined to the use of oils ranging in grade from No. 1 to No. 4 and employ either one of two methods to prepare the fuel oil for combustion. These are atomization(spraying) and vaporisation(heating). Atomization or spraying is divided into three types, namely, high-pressure atomization, low-pressure atomization, and centrifugal atomization.... The third way in which oil is atomized is by use of centrifugal force. The oil is fed to a rapidly rotating cup(3, 450 rpm or faster). It then spreads throughout this cup in a fine film and flies of the outer edge at a high rate of speed in a very finely divided state. Burners that make use of such centrifugal force are of two types from the standpoint of their design : the horizontal rotary type and the vertical rotary type. High-speed motors are required by burners that use this type of atomization exclusively. With centrifugal atomizing burners there is no contact between oil and air until both have left the burner and entered the combustion chamber. 1, record 15, English, - centrifugal%20atomization

Pulvérisation par coupelle rotative. Ce système (...) consiste à amener le combustible au sommet d'un cône qui tourne à grande vitesse (5 000 tr/min) Par force centrifuge, la paroi se garnit d'un film qui s'échappe par toute la circonférence de base du cône. La pulvérisation résulte de la cassure du film et les gouttelettes sont entraînées par l'air primaire provenant d'un ventilateur solidaire de la coupelle. 2, record 15, French, - pulv%C3%A9risation%20m%C3%A9canique%20par%20force%20centrifuge
