Record 3 2012-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Extraction Procedures - Various (Mining)
DEF

[A mining method in which] the ore is excavated in open stopes, retreating from one end of the stope toward the other. The orebody is developed first by a series of sublevel drifts above the main haulage level. The sublevels are connected by a starting raise at one end of the stope and by a passageway raise for entrance to them and the stope face at the other end. Chute raises connect the haulage level to the lowest sublevel, at which the tops of the chute raises are belled out to form mill holes. Beginning at the starting raise the ore is benched down from the sublevels; the broken ore falls into the mill holes, where it is drawn off through the chutes. The stope face is kept nearly vertical as it is benched backward toward the passageway raise.

CONT

Wide-vein deposits contained within competent waste rock and at vertical or steeply angled inclination permit use of a method called sublevel stoping. This method can be likened to the month on the page of a calendar, with the top and bottom edges representing the main haulage levels where all of the ore from above is removed. Each row of weeks on the calendar page represents sublevels started from the right-hand edge raise toward the left-hand edge raise widened to full-vein width. The sublevels starting at the bottom left day of the calendar page are drilled with long holes in a circle around the opening, then blasted in one large blast, removing a segment of rock... along the sublevel. It would be like removing one day of the week from left to right, bottom to top of the calendar page, and dropping it to the bottom edge, where previously installed chutes funnel them to the train or load-haul-dump unit for haulage to the shaft.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés d'extraction divers (Exploit. minière)
DEF

Variété de la méthode d'abattage par sous-niveaux où l'exploitation progresse de bas en haut. Dans cette méthode, le minerai peut être soutiré à la base de l'étage.

CONT

Les exploitations par traçage et soutirage [...] se développent considérablement: la chambre est un parallélépipède dont la section horizontale est à peu près un rectangle et dont la troisième arête est verticale ou à forte pente; des galeries horizontales permettent de forer dans la masse des trous de mines en éventail dans les plans parallèles; les mines situées dans un même plan sont tirées simultanément [...]. Le minerai tombe au fond de la chambre, où il est soutiré par des entonnoirs creusés dans la roche, en tête de cheminées descendantes qui aboutissent dans des galeries de ramassage et de transport.

Record 4 2000-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Geological Research and Exploration
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A calibrated funnel commonly used in field tests to determine the viscosity of drilling mud.

OBS

It consists of a copper funnel, about 30-cm long with a 15-cm diameter at the top, which has a 10-mesh screen over half its diameter to remove debris and a 6-mm-diameter exit tube at the bottom through which the rate of flow is timed. It takes 26 seconds for a quart of clean water to flow through and correspondingly longer for muds of greater viscosity. Gel strength is measured by comparing the rate of flow of freshly agitated mud with that which has been allowed to remain quiescent for 10 minutes.

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Appareil pour mesurer la viscosité des boues de forage.

CONT

L'entonnoir de Marsh [est un appareil utilisé pour mesurer la viscosité d'une boue de forage. Il] assure l'écoulement de la boue à travers un orifice calibré, mais sous une charge variable, et qui permet d'exprimer la viscosité par le temps nécessaire au remplissage d'une capacité connue [...]
