CONT

"Bi-junction" heating has been designed in order to obtain the most equitable apportionment of the heating charges for each occupant in accordance with the desired degree of heating comfort.

OBS

A "bi-junction" heating system comprises a first, collective, power supply circuit, which ensures a minimum basic temperature(generally 15 degree C) in all the apartments of the building, said temperature being maintained with the aid of a thermostat whose control point cannot be adjusted by the user. A second, individual, heating circuit can be switched on by the occupant of an apartment who requires a higher temperature in his apartment, the corresponding amount of power being recorded by an individual meter.

  • Metering Instruments
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

A form of gas or liquid flowmeter consisting of a diaphragm in which there is an orifice placed transversely across a pipe, the difference in pressure on the two sides of the diaphragm is a measure of flow velocity.

CONT

An orifice meter is an inferential meter in which the fluid velocity and flowrate are inferred from the pressure drop occurring through the known area of an orifice plate. Specifically, orifice meter flow is calculated from the flowing gas pressure and temperature, differential pressure drop occurring across the restriction of the meter's orifice plate, the meter geometry including the meter tube's inside diameter and orifice plate bore, and the gas composition.

PHR

Sharp-edged orifice meter.

Another sonde which has been flown on tethered balloons is the [delta] T(Delta-T) sonde. This package consists of matched thermistors on the end of a one meter arm and is used to measure temperature differences over this length as the sonde is profiled through the atmosphere. The result gained is an atmospheric temperature structure parameter which is related to stability of the atmosphere and the amount of convective mixing in the boundary layer.

Subject field(s)
  • Steelmaking
CONT

Coating weights : Pure tin coating on a hot-dip tin plate is mechanically distributed over sheet surface by tinning rolls. Due to nature of this tinning operation and elevated temperature of metal it is not possible to control, within close limits, tin coating weight. For these and other reasons, coating is measured and described by "tin pot yield" method. Total weight(in pounds) of tin consumed in manufacture of one base box, is pot yield. 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. Amount of coating on coke plates is generally between 1. 24 and 2. 5 pounds per base box-on charcoal plates between 3 pounds and 5 pounds per base box. For roofing applications, heavier charcoal weight coatings have always been preferred. Common cokes, 1. 25 lb/base box. Standard cokes, 1. 50 lb/base box; Best cokes, 1. 70 lb/base box. "Kanners" special cokes, 2. 0 lb/base box.... Weight of coating on an electrolytic plate is a measurement of amount of coating on both sides of sheet, expressed in grams per square meter. Prior to adoption of this system, a "pot yield" method was used. The coating designation numbers are a hold over from this earlier system.

OBS

Various grades of hot-dipped in 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.
