CONT

A test technician helps perform key diagnostic and quality tests on their company's products. On an average day, test technicians may respond to error messages, gather data for reports, and perform other routine quality-control tasks, depending on their workplace's needs. Since they often work in a manufacturing setting, some physical labor may be required for installing testing hardware, measuring data, and light product-fabrication work. However, the core of their job is running diagnostic tests and performing routine troubleshooting of system issues. This may require the ability to interpret complex documents such as technical schematics and follow precise instructions well. Test technicians often work in the production of electronic equipment, as well as automotive, defense, and aerospace products. A wide variety of manufacturing jobs may employ a small number of test technicians as well.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work.... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill. The Lampen mill is more popular in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Australia. The Jokro mill is favored in Germany.... The Lampen mill consists of a hollow circular housing rotating around a horizontal axis at 250 rpm, in which a smooth spherical 10-kg ball is allowed to roll freely.... The pulp sample is milled by the rotating ball at relatively low consistency(3. 0% for softwood, 3. 6% for hardwood), providing a slow, gentle refining action. The main variable affecting the uniformity of action is the micro-roughness of the ball and housing.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work.... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill.... The PFI mill... utilizes a grooved roll eccentric to a smooth trough on which the pulp sample at 10% consistency is distributed. The pressure between roll and trough can be varied by means of applied weights. Both the roll and "bedplate" rotate at high speed, but at different peripheral velocities; this action induces friction, rubbing and crushing of the fibers to produce the beating effect. With normal operation, there is no metal-to-metal contact and little wear on the edges. Consequently, the device rarely needs calibration.

[...] Le raffineur PFI [...] comporte un tambour rainuré et excentré, placé dans une cuve lisse. Le tambour et la «platine» tournent tous les deux à grande vitesse, mais suivant des vitesses périphériques différentes; de ce fait, les fibres subissent des efforts de friction, des frottements et des écrasements qui produisent l'effet de raffinage. Comme il n'existe pas de surface de contact métal contre métal et qu'il n'y a pas de lames qui puissent être usées, aucun étalonnage de l'appareil n'est nécessaire. Cet appareil présente aussi l'avantage de raffiner de petites quantités de pâte.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work..... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill..... The Valley beater... is essentially a miniature version of the Hollander beater. Although this device has a long tradition of use, it has some definite limitations and is gradually being displaced by the PFI mill. The principal disadvantage is the difficulty in obtaining reproducibility with respect to other Valley beaters and with respect to the same beater over long periods of time. The problem relates to variable wear patterns on the metal cutting bars.

Bien que cette pile ait été traditionnellement utilisée depuis fort longtemps, elle présente des limites bien définies et on la remplace progressivement par des raffineurs PFI. Le principal défaut de la pile Valley est la difficulté à obtenir des effets reproductibles par d'autres piles ou à obtenir les mêmes effets avec la même pile dans le temps.
