Record 1 2000-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Where high throughout rates must be handled, the limited diameter of the equipment does mean that a rather large number of filters must be employed, which increases the total washing time required for each filtration unit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Pour les grands débits, [...] cette disposition conduit à l'emploi d'un nombre de filtres assez élevé, ce qui accroît le temps de lavage total de chaque cellule filtrante.

Record 2 1991-03-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Technical Textiles
  • Man-Made Construction Materials
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

This important fabric property has applicability only for woven fabrics, and even then primarily for monofilament woven fabrics. Percent open area (POA) is a comparison of the total open area (the void spaces between adjacent fibers) to the total specimen area. A convenient way to measure the open area is to project a light through the fabric onto a large poster-sized piece of cardboard.

CONT

The following terms delineate the filtration characteristics of engineering fabrics.... Percent Opening Area is the summation of the open areas divided by the total area of the filter fabric.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles techniques
  • Matériaux de construction artificiels
  • Mécanique des sols
CONT

Les termes qui suivent définissent les caractéristiques de filtration des géotextiles (...) Aire des vides en pourcentage - c'est l'aire totale des vides, divisée par l'aire totale de la toile filtrante multipliée par 100.

Record 3 1988-02-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
CONT

Because ions in water conduct electrical current, electrical conductivity(EC) is a fast, simple method of estimating the amount of total soluble salts in a soil sample. To measure a soil' s conductivity, a weighed soil sample is mixed with water to form a saturated paste; the liquid is then removed by pressure or suction filtration and the conductivity of this extract is measured in millimhos per centimeter.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
CONT

La conductivité de l'extrait de pâte saturée est supérieure à 4 mmhos/cm à 25 °C.

Record 5 1981-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Depending on the individual river and on the purpose for which the treated water is required, treatment may range from a simple coarse screening process to the most advanced filtration through silex or total clarification with prior flocculation and setting.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Selon les rivières et les multiples utilisations, le traitement peut aller du simple dégrossissage mécanique à la filtration sur silex la plus poussée ou à la clarification totale avec floculation et décantation préalable.
