[Axial bellows], of the type shown on a wellhead..., transmit high compressive or tensile forces to the anchors, which must in consequence be sufficiently robust to resist these forces. They provide a rather expensive means of compensation, and are therefore used only where space restrictions prohibit the use of any form of looping-e. g. within a power house building, or in a hot water transmission pipe where vertical looping... cannot be adopted. Internal metal sleeves greatly reduce steam friction in corrugated axial bellows. 1, record 1, English, - axial%20bellows

Ionization interference is a problem in the analysis of alkali metals, which have the lowest ionization potentials. Ionized atoms have different energy levels from those of neutral atoms and hence the desired signal is decreased. An ionization suppressor is an element added to a sample to decrease the ionization of the analyte. The ionization suppressor is more easily ionized than the sample. 2, record 4, English, - ionization%20interference
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
... too hot a flame causes another type of interference [i. e. ] ionization interference, which is caused when a large proportion of the atoms in the sample become ionized, thus causing them to absorb at a different radiation line.... The interference is usually eliminated by introducing an excess of other metal ions in a flame which is more easily ionizable than the metal which is to be determined. 3, record 4, English, - ionization%20interference

Lorsqu'un élément est ionisé, il quitte l'état fondamental et de ce fait ne peut plus absorber les photons issus de la lampe et l'absorption diminue. Ce phénomène est fréquent dans le dosage des alcalins-terreux et des alcalins, ainsi que pour certains éléments dosés en flamme chaude (protoxyde d'azote, acétylène). Il est possible de réduire ce type d'interaction en ajoutant à la solution à doser ainsi qu'aux solutions étalons, 1,5 à 2 g/l d'un élément plus ionisable que l'élément à doser. 3, record 4, French, - interf%C3%A9rence%20au%20lieu%20d%27interaction

There are basically three types of pilot burners :(1) the millivolt;(2) the bimetal; and(3) the liquid filled. The millivolt type can be divided into the thermocouple and the thermopile. The thermocouple is an electricity producing device made of dissimilar metals. One end of the metal is heated and is called the hot junction, while the other end remains cool and is called the cold junction. The output of a thermocouple is approximately 30 millivolts(mV) when heated to a temperature of about 3, 200 ° 2, record 7, English, - thermocouple%20pilot
