Regardless of the style, all heads can be fitted with parison programming. A parison programmer is a device that can change the gap or relationship between the head tooling die and mandrel while the parison is extruded. Thus, the wall thickness of the parison is changed and becomes ringed with sections of thinner and thicker material. These "rings" are located to correspond to specific sections of the bottle or blow-molded part where the part thickness may be too thin or too thick. For many blow-molded parts, parison programming has the potential of reducing part weight and cost while improving performance and strength. 3, record 6, English, - parison%20programming

Programmation de paraison.

It is possible to define a coefficient of permeability for flow across the geotextile... and to measure it in specially adapted constant or falling head permeameters. The term "coefficient of normal permeability" is sometimes used in order to distinguish this coefficient of permeability from the coefficient of permeability in the plane of the geotextile. The hydraulic gradient across the geotextile thickness... is related to the head loss as follows : i=[delta) H/Tg. This can cause two problems when determining a value for the geotextile's permeability coefficient. 1, record 8, English, - geotextile%27s%20permeability%20coefficient

Determination of the water permeability of a geotextile using the constant head method-ASTM. This method can be used to determine both the coefficient of permeability, k, and the permittivity, [psi]. Preference is given, however, to the permittivity because the k-value is directly related to the thickness of the geotextile and the thickness varies strongly from geotextile to geotextile. Permittivity is defined as the filter velocity per unit of hydraulic gradient. 1, record 9, English, - constant%20head%20method
