English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

[A process that] consits of loading multiple products, one at a time, through one meter and control valve.

CONT

This method is commonly used for products that have similar density and viscosity, characteristics that enable them to mix well. The disadvantages of sequential blending biodiesel is that when products have dissimilar characteristics the blend may stratify in the fuel due to inadequate mixing or there is not enough room in the truck to get the required volume of each product.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Machine-Tooling (Metallurgy)
CONT

In the pressure type air gauge, air passes through a filter and regulator and is then divided into two channels. The air in the reference channel escapes to atmosphere through a zero setting valve. The air in the measuring channel escapes to atmosphere through the gauge head jets. The two channels are connected by an extremely accurate differential pressure meter. The master is placed over the gauging spindle and the zero setting valve is adjusted until the gauge needle indicates zero. Any deviation in the workpiece size from the master size changes the reading.
