CONT

Glassworkers are skilled craftspeople who custom fabricate glass, mirror, shower and bath enclosures and architectural aluminum. Their finished products are shipped to residential and commercial buildings for installation by the glaziers. Typically, glassworkers are employed in a production environment or fabricating facility working with glass and metal equipment.

CONT

The cold crucible operates according to the direct induction principle : the wall of the cold crucible is cooled by a water circulation system[, ] a protective layer of condensed glass then forms, called a "self-crucible. "This protects the metal crucible from the effects of high temperatures and corrosion caused by the bath of molten glass.

CONT

Le creuset froid fonctionne [selon] le principe de l’induction directe : la paroi du creuset froid est refroidie par un système de circulation d’eau[,] une couche protectrice de verre figée appelée «autocreuset» se forme. Cette couche protège le creuset métallique des effets des hautes températures et de la corrosion due au bain de verre en fusion.

CONT

... the scanning ion-conductance microscope(SICM)... scans a sample not with a metal or diamond tip but with a glass micropipette containing a tiny electrode. The workers immerse the sample and the pipette in a bath of electrolyte(such as a salt solution) and establish a voltage difference between the electrode within the pipette and another electrode in the bath. A current of ions tends to flow between the electrodes by way of the pipette opening, but when the pipette approaches the surface of the sample, the current weakens. It disappears altogether when the scanned pipette touches the sample, which blocks the opening. Equipped with a feedback mechanism that maintains a constant ion current through the pipette opening, the SICM can profile a sample's topography. The fineness of the pipette does limit the SICM's resolution to about. 2 micron(10 nanometers may eventually be feasible).

OBS

The device is therefore best suited to more specialized functions - studying a living cell’s electrical behavior, for example. When a cell is stimulated, so-called ion channels in its membrane open and close, allowing tiny currents of ions to pass. Hansma hopes to detect individual ion channels and study their behavior once the SICM’s resolution has been improved.

The cold soak filtration test determines if biodiesel shows precipitate formation upon cooling to temperatures above the cloud point.

OBS

The test is performed by placing 300 mL of biodiesel in a 500-mL glass bottle. The sample is then set in a liquid or air bath or chamber at 40 °F for 16 hours. The sample is then allowed to come to room temperature(around 70 °F) and filtered through a 47-mm diameter and 0. 7-μm nominal pore-sized glass fiber filter under vacuum of 25 inches of mercury under atmospheric pressure. The time required to filter 300 ml of biodiesel is reported.

Essai de filtration par trempage à froid (EFTF) – Exigence la plus présente dans l’ASTM [American Society for Testing and Materials] D6751. Elle a été ajoutée en 2008 à la suite de l’obtention de données indiquant que certains mélanges de type B100 pouvaient former des précipités au-dessus du point de trouble. Dans des mélanges de pétrodiesel allant jusqu’à une teneur de 20 %, un mélange de type B100 satisfaisant aux exigences de la filtrabilité par trempage à froid ne forme aucun précipité.

Pare-baignoire. La cabine de douche ronde pour la baignoire. Idéale lorsque la robinetterie de douche est installée au dessus de la baignoire au milieu du grand côté : de part et d'autre de la robinetterie sont montés des battants à deux éléments. Les battants fermés, l'ensemble se transforme en une parfaite cabine de douche. Battants repliés contre le mur, l'espace est de nouveau libre pour le bain.

Record 7 1996-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glass Manufacturing
DEF

A process in which a ribbon of hot glass is floated upon a heated liquid of greater density than that of the glass, to produce a transparent glass the two surfaces of which are flat, parallel and fire-polished so that they give clear undistorded vision and reflection.

CONT

float glass process : from the glass tank or furnace, the glass ribbon is delivered onto the surface of liquid metal in the float bath.

Key term(s)
  • float-glass process

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fabrication du verre
DEF

Float ou floatglass. Procédé de fabrication des glaces par extrusion du verre en continu sous forme d'un large ruban (3,50 m), s'étalant à la sortie du four sur un bain d'étain en fusion, sur lequel il se refroidit progressivement avant d'être repris sur coussins d'air.

CONT

Le procédé float. Des chercheurs anglais (Pilkington Brothers) ont mis au point un procédé entièrement original de fabrication de verre plat, le float-glass ou verre flotté. Le principe consiste en l'étalement de la nappe de verre, obtenue à la sortie d'un four à bassin, sur un bain de métal fondu.
