Plutôt que de réduire leurs prix, les producteurs coréens semblent plutôt les augmenter. Cela s'explique parce que le prix des tubes normalisés est étroitement associé au prix de sa principale matière première, soit les bandes laminées à chaud (BLC), étant donné que les fabricants cherchent à maintenir l'écart entre le prix de vente des tubes normalisés et le coût de cette matière première. 2, record 6, French, - bande%20lamin%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20chaud

Burner Efficiency Tests and Adjustments... A smoke spot tester is used to measure the soot content of flues gases. The serviceman will adjust the air intake band on the burner until a visually smokeless flame is produced in the combustion chamber. The probe of the smoke testing apparatus is inserted through the hole in the flue pipe and a flue gas sample is drawn through a piece of filter paper. The resulting soot mark on the paper is compared in intensity to a standard chart. The chart shows measurements labelled 0 to 9 and most residential oil furnaces can burn cleanly enough for a 0 to 1 rating... a number 2 smoke is ideal. 1, record 12, English, - smoke%20spot%20tester
