SHEET CAPACITY [9 records]

Record 1 2017-02-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Site Equipment
  • Roofs (Building Elements)
DEF

A small mechanical applicator for applying hot bitumen on the felt of a built-up roof membrane, or on a roof-deck.

CONT

The Mini Mopper blends the precision flow control of a small mopper with the carrying capacity of a large one. Screw-in plugs, on 1" centers, give the operator complete application control-simply remove more plugs to increase the area of coverage... A consistent coat of hot seals the quality of a well-built roof. No mop and bucket can match the speed and consistency of this low-cost durable all-steel dispenser. Whether you’re laying base sheet, insulation, felts or graveling-in, the Mini Mopper can fit the bill.

OBS

La teneur en humidité de la membrane et de l'isolant thermique doit être déterminée et notée. La température du bitume doit être mesurée dans la marmite et à la sortie de l'épandeur; sa viscosité doit être mesurée avant qu'il soit chauffé et au moment de sa mise en œuvre sur le toit.

Record 2 2017-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Casting and Patternmaking (Metal Processing)
  • Steelmaking
DEF

The process of continuously casting slab of under two inches in thickness.

CONT

Strip casting technology permits the production of hot strips, also referred to as hot rolled coiled steel, directly from the liquid crude steel. Casting and rolling are linked into one continuous operation. Strip casting technology is... the last technology in realizing direct casting.... direct casting has been realized in a step-wise fashion : the thickness of the sheet or strip cast has been reduced by three innovative technologies, conventional continuous casting, thin slab casting and strip casting technology... The introduction of thin slab casting(1989) let the liquid steel be cast in thinner slabs... Blooms and billets cannot be produced with a thin slab caster. Thin slab casting technology integrates casting and the finishing operations in the hot rolling section of a steel plant. The cast slabs are charged directly into a reheater and subsequently fed into the hot rolling mill. The reheating capacity for hot rolling the slabs is thus reduced.

OBS

This process is more efficient than the traditional hot rolling of eight to ten inch slab into narrower gauges.

  • Moulage et modelage des métaux
  • Élaboration de l'acier
CONT

L'évolution des prochaines années devrait conduire à la coulée continue de brames minces (50 mm d'épaisseur) et vers celle de bandes minces (0,5 à 6 mm). [...] La coulée continue de bandes minces qui sont ensuite directement laminées à froid supprime les opération de réchauffage des brames et de laminage à chaud.

CONT

L'intégration de procédés de production des métaux très énergivores peut se traduire par d'importantes économies d'énergie. Par exemple, la coulée continue de brames minces combinée au laminage direct peut permettre d'économiser jusqu'à 40 p. 100 des coûts par rapport à l'utilisation de procédés séparés.

CONT

La coulée : En 1988, Nucor Corp. a fait œuvre de pionnier, en Caroline du Sud, dans la coulée de brames minces. Il s'agit de couler directement une brame de 2" plutôt que de couler une brame de 9" puis de la laminer jusqu'à 2".

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of National Programs (Canadian)
  • Steel
DEF

[A CANMET-MTL program providing] research and consulting services to industry in all aspects of steel processing and product development.

OBS

CANMET-MTL has unique capabilities to study new continuous casting processes. It can perform physical and mathematical modelling and help reduce the variability of metal properties. It has the capacity to develop hot rolling and cooling schedules for both flat and long products and to assess the formability of sheet products, including galvannealed steel.

Record 5 2003-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Reprography
DEF

A device added to a copier for use during the production of sets of copies. It consists of bins-usually no more than 40 or no fewer than 10-into which sets of copies are automatically inserted one sheet at a time so that a number of separate sets can be produced. Bin capacity can range from 20 sheets up to 100 sheets. Some sorters also can provide additional finishing capabilities by automatically stapling and/or hole-punching copies.

OBS

A feature offered on some copier models.

Record 7 2001-12-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

There are bound to be rainstorms whose water the soil cannot fully absorb-a point of major importance in arid and semi-arid areas, for this water can be collected and used to improve productivity locally. The following four water management methods and erosion control structures apply :. runoff harvesting(catching runoff for supplementary irrigation) ;. total absorption or infiltration;. runoff diversion(redirecting excess water) ;. runoff spreading(distribution of runoff energy).... Structures to dissipate runoff energy. When rainfall exceeds the soil' s absorption capacity, the sheet runoff can be controlled by spreading it across the whole slope rather than concentrating it in channels and outlets, where it can cause problems. Its energy can be dispersed by keeping the speed below 25 cm... Such dispersion across the slope is achieved partly by cropping techniques that keep the soil surface rough(clods, many grass stalks, effect of weeds and mulching, etc.) and partly by structures such as permeable microdams, which temporarily slow the flow, allow some sedimentation, spread the flood, reduce peak flows and improve absorption.

Key term(s)
  • run-off spreading
  • run off spreading

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drainage et irrigation (Agriculture)
CONT

Irrigation de surface. [...] L'épandage des eaux de ruissellement ou de crue, qui du fait de la brutalité des précipitations, coulent de façon très temporaire dans les régions à faible pluviosité annuelle, est une forme fruste de submersion, utilisée par l'homme depuis longtemps, dans la vallée du Nil ou la Mésopotamie par exemple.
