impregnation tanks : There are two basic methods for coating the reinforcements with resin. The strands are passed under a roller in the tank, or the strands are passed over a metering roller. When necessary, the tank is electrically heated to reduce resin viscosity. 1, record 1, English, - impregnation%20tank

Réceptacle à résine dans lequel on fait passer les rovings pour qu'ils entraînent la quantité de résine nécessaire à leur imprégnation. Celle-ci se fait soit par plein bain, soit par passage sur un rouleau en rotation dont la partie inférieure plonge dans la résine. 1, record 1, French, - bac%20d%27impr%C3%A9gnation

((Metering and blending of furnishes)) The machine chest typically contains the final furnish mixture, although in some instances, small concentrations of additives may be added just prior to the headbox. The machine chest stock(at 2. 6-2. 8 % consistency) is continuously circulated to a constant head tank(stuff box) which feeds the stock through a control valve(called the "basis weight valve") into the paper machine approach system. Here, the stock is combined with circulating white water from the wire pit, and the consistency is dramatically reduced to the level(typically 1 % or less) required at the headbox. 1, record 2, English, - basis%20weight%20valve

((Dosage et mélange des constituants)). Le cuvier de tête de machine contient généralement le mélange final, bien que, dans certains cas, de petites quantités d'adjuvants soient ajoutées juste avant la caisse d'arrivée. La suspension du cuvier de tête de machine passe dans une caisse à niveau constant (château de pâte) qui alimente le répartiteur de la machine à papier par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne de régulation (la vanne de grammage). La suspension (d'une concentration de 2,6 à 2,8 %) y est mélangée à des eaux blanches de la fosse sous toile et la concentration est abaissée jusqu'au degré voulu en caisse d'arrivée (d'ordinaire de 0,5 à 1,0 % de concentration). 1, record 2, French, - vanne%20de%20grammage

Air release chambers are installed ahead of any metering equipment to ensure accurate measurement of fuel flow. They may be installed in either the pumphouse or on the dispensing platform. They operate on the reduced flow velocity principle which separates and eliminates air from the fuel. As the fuel enters the air release chamber(the diameter of which is much greater than the diameter of the inlet to the air release body), the velocity of the flow is greatly reduced allowing an interval of time for the air to separate from the fuel. The air, being lighter than the liquid, rises to the top of the chamber, where it remains until a sufficient quantity has accumulated to lower the liquid level, causing the float to drop, which in turn opens the vent valve and allows the accumulated air to escape. In most cases the line from the air vent is returned to the storage or scavenger tank to prevent spraying fuel into the surrounding area in case of a malfunction of the air release chamber. 1, record 3, English, - air%20release%20chamber

Des chambres de désaération sont placées immédiatement en amont de tout dispositif de mesure, ceci afin d'assurer la précision des mesures de débit. Ces appareils peuvent être installés dans la station de pompage ou sur la plate-forme de distribution. Ils agissent par réduction de la vitesse d'écoulement, ce qui permet à l'air de se dissocier du produit pétrolier. Lorsque le produit entre dans la chambre (dont le diamètre du corps est de beaucoup supérieur à celui de l'orifice d'admission), sa vitesse d'écoulement diminue sensiblement. L'air, plus léger que le liquide, remonte à la surface, et y demeure jusqu'à ce qu'une quantité suffisante se soit accumulée; le flotteur, qui s'est abaissé en raison de la baisse proportionnelle du niveau du liquide, commande alors l'ouverture du purgeur qui permet à l'air de s'échapper. Dans la plupart des cas, une canalisation relie le purgeur au réservoir de stockage ou de reprise d'évacuation afin d'éviter toute dispersion de produit à l'extérieur en cas de mauvais fonctionnement de la chambre ou du purgeur. 1, record 3, French, - chambre%20de%20d%C3%A9sa%C3%A9ration
