OBS

coca: El término "coca" es polisémico y debe diferenciarse entre sus distintos significados: cuando hace referencia a la planta (Erythroxylon coca), a la hoja y como forma abreviada de la droga cocaína.

OBS

Es importante entender la diferencia entre coca y cocaína. La coca, cuyo uso doméstico data de unos cuatro a seis mil años, es la hoja sagrada del pueblo andino. La cocaína, por su parte, es una invención europea de hace 140 años. Se necesitan 41 productos químicos para poder extraer la cocaína de la hoja de coca y se requieren 110 kilos de hojas para producir 600 gramos de cocaína pura. La coca contiene 14 alcaloides estimulantes, siendo el principal la cocaína, pese a su ínfima proporción. Según estudios científicos, la hoja andina contiene menos de un 0,08 por ciento de cocaína pura, que entran en su forma activa por la acción alcalina de la saliva al ser masticada.

Subject field(s)
  • Steelmaking
DEF

cokes: The standard grades of hot-dipped tinplates, that carry about 0.56 kg of tin per basis box (i.e. lighter coating than the charcoal grades), that consist of mild-steel coated with tin, and that are used for packaging, canning and general purposes.

CONT

Various grades of hot-dipped tin plate were produced, the terminology indicating in a general way the weight of tin coating or, more exactly, the amount of tin used to produce the given unit or base box of plate. Coke tin plate has always designated the plate produced with the lowest amount of tin and formerly was called Cokes or Common Cokes. In ascending weight of coating, the various grades were Common Cokes, Standard Cokes, Best Cokes, and Kanners Special. Charcoal tin plate carries still heavier coatings including 1A and 2A.

CONT

Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal, have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness. Amount of coating on coke plates is generally between 1.24 and 2.5 pounds per base box - on charcoal plates between 3 pounds and 5 pounds per base box. For roofing applications, heavier charcoal weight coatings have always been preferred. Common cokes, 1.25 lb/base box. Standard cokes, 1.50 lb/base box; Best cokes, 1.70 lb/base box. "Kanners" special cokes, 2.0 lb/base box. ... Weight of coating on an electrolytic plate is a measurement of amount of coating on both sides of sheet, expressed in grams per square meter. Prior to adoption of this system, a "pot yield" method was used. The coating designation numbers are a hold over from this earlier system.
