HOLLOW FIBRE [9 records]

Record 1 2022-07-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

A manufactured fiber with internal voids created by air injection or use of special spinnerets.

CONT

Hollow core fiber makes the filament yarn very light ... This kind of fiber also ensures faster transportation of moisture away from the skin to the outer layer.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Filament constitué d'un ou plusieurs canaux.

OBS

Les canaux rendent la fibre plus légère et plus isolante.

Record 4 2005-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Food Industries
DEF

A narrow tube, internal diameter 0.5 or 1.0 mm and 1 m long made of a non-cellulosic polymer.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Membrane en forme de tube de petit diamètre (généralement inférieur à 3 millimètres) rectiligne ou en épingle et de longueur variable (de quelques centimètres au mètre) et dont l'épaisseur est de l'ordre de 100 à 200 micromètres (Norme AFNOR).

OBS

Les fibres creuses sont utilisées en osmose inverse, ultrafiltration, microfiltration tangentielle et pervaporation.

OBS

La structure des fibres creuses est généralement asymétrique avec une peau située sur la face externe pour l'osmose inverse et sur la face interne pour l'ultrafiltration.

OBS

Les fibres creuses sont difficilement utilisables pour des produits très visqueux et très chargés en matières en suspension.

Record 6 2001-07-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

Wound Fabric Cartridge Element. For true depth-filtration, these continuous wound cartridge elements are available in a wide range of materials, lengths, and micron ratings. A single-core design is used, eliminating the "joints" common in other manufacturer’s elements. Available materials include cotton, acrylics, nylon, rayon, and polypropylene.

CONT

This outer wound carbon cartridge removes undesirable tasted, odors, sediment, discoloration and chemicals from water, hydrocarbon gases and other industrial fluids. It also provides organic removal from plating, acid and alkaline solutions. This economical carbon cartridge is actually three filters in one. It first provides filtration through an outer winding, then through a layer of activated granular carbon and finally through a 5 micron polishing inner winding. Choices of core materials and wound materials make Penguin’s Style GC cartridges a versatile and economical choice for all carbon filtration needs.

OBS

Candle Filters... These candles are perforated hollow cylinders of stainless steel onto which a thin layer of synthetic fibre is wound in the form of a sleeve, to the outside of which the precoat layer is applied in the initial form of a dilute suspension.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage (Alimentation en eau)
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Les filtres «Cannon». Ce sont des filtres à bougies verticales, fonctionnant sous pression. Les bougies filtrantes, suspendues à une plaque tubulaire sont constructibles de plusieurs façons, suivant les utilisations et la température : [...] Tube perforé en acier inoxydable, directement recouvert de tissu bobiné en Polyester ou en Polypropylène, [...]

OBS

Filtres à bougies. Ces bougies sont des cylindres creux perforés, réalisés en acier inoxydable sur lesquels est bobiné en mince épaisseur un fil en fibre synthétique formant manchon : le matériau de précouche, mais au préalable sous forme de suspension diluée, vient s'appliquer sur ce manchon.

Record 7 2000-08-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthopedic Surgery
OBS

Laser surgery for a herniated disc [where] a thin hollow needle... is inserted into the nucleus of the disc. A strand of optical fibre is inserted through the needle. Then a few bursts of laser energy are sent through and a tiny bit of disc material-which is mostly water-is vaporized. This causes the pressure within the nucleus to drop and a vacuum is created.... The herniated portion of the disc is sucked away from the nerve it is pinching... but only by a fraction of a millimeter.
