Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
During the rolling of steel hot surfaces are exposed to the decarburising effects of oxygen in the atmosphere and as a result the surface is depleted of carbon. In steels where the components are to be subsequently heat treated, it is necessary to remove the decurbarised surface by maching. 4, record 2, English, - decarburization

Preload indicating(PLI) washers consist of two concentric steel rings sandwiched between two close-tolerance washers that are heat treated to a minimum of 160, 000 psi and placed between the material and the nut, or under the bolt head, and become a permanent part of the installation. As the nut is tightened, it compresses the inner washer which is thicker than the outer washer, until the outer washer cannot be moved. This is the desired preload of the bolt. 2, record 6, English, - preload%20indicating%20washer

Water Filling. The principle of water cooling structural elements is now well established.(...) Water inside a structural member exposed to a building fire will absorb heat and maintain steel temperatures below the critical level of approximately 550°C. The heat is dissipated by convection to other non-exposed areas of the system and by conversion of the water to steam which is vented.(...) In high-rise structures, columns may be divided into zone levels(...) in order to limit the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the zone. Water in the system is generally treated with potassium carbonate in quantities sufficient to prevent freezing during winter, and potassium nitrate to inhibit corrosion. 1, record 7, English, - water%20filling

(Le) refroidissement par l'eau sous forme d'irrigation intérieure de profils creux est un procédé très fiable, pourvu que l'eau soit mise en circulation dans l'ossature de manière à assurer son remplissage en toutes sections accessibles au feu; [...]. Des inhibiteurs de corrosion et de gel (si la structure est exposée à l'extérieur) sont ajoutés à l'eau de remplissage. Ce procédé a été utilisé jusqu'à présent surtout pour la protection des poteaux, très rarement pour celle de poutres ou de portiques. Dans le cas d'immeubles très hauts, il peut être nécessaire de recouper les vides des poteaux en tronçons de hauteurs limitées pour éviter une pression hydrostatique trop importante sur les parois en acier. 1, record 7, French, - irrigation
