English

Subject field(s)
  • Steel
  • Metal Rolling
DEF

A flat-rolled form, such as from a hot strip mill or steckel mill, produced by hot rolling and most often used to make flat-rolled products.

CONT

Rather than lowering their prices, it appears that Korean producers are raising prices. This is because the price of standard pipe is closely linked to the price of its principal raw material, namely hot-rolled band(HRB), as manufacturers strive to maintain the spread between the selling price for standard pipe and the price paid for that input material.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Acier
  • Laminage (Métallurgie)
CONT

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.

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.
