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.

OBS

coke; common coke: Terms usually used in the plural ("cokes"; "common cokes").

OBS

Le bitume est un terme générique décrivant les mélanges naturels de carbures d'hydrogène se présentant sous une forme visqueuse ou solide; dans l'industrie de la toiture le mot bitume signifie soit de l'asphalte soit du brai de goudron. À l'état solide ces matériaux se ressemblent mais leurs caractéristiques sont quelque peu différentes. La plupart de l'asphalte employé au Canada pour imprégner ou imperméabiliser les matériaux de couverture ou les toitures en terrasse provient de la distillation du pétrole suivie d'un certain raffinage lequel permet d'obtenir les propriétés que l'on désire. On trouve également des dépôts solides d'asphalte à l'état naturel dans certaines parties du monde. On obtient le brai de goudron en distillant des goudrons grossiers provenant de la carbonisation de la houille. La propriété qu'a le brai de goudron de couler à froid facilite le bouchage automatique des fissures mais elle empêche qu'on l'utilise sur des toits trop en pente. Sur les toits à faible pente on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion n'est pas élevé tandis que sur les toits à pente raide on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion est élevé. C'est pourquoi l'asphalte a davantage d'applications que le brai de goudron.

OBS

brai à couverture : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

  • Steelmaking
CONT

Coating weights : Pure tin coating on a hot-dip tin plate is mechanically distributed over sheet surface by tinning rolls. Due to nature of this tinning operation and elevated temperature of metal it is not possible to control, within close limits, tin coating weight. For these and other reasons, coating is measured and described by "tin pot yield" method. Total weight(in pounds) of tin consumed in manufacture of one base box, is pot yield. 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.

The best means of cutting pipe is with the use of a snap type cutter which has sharp hardened cutting wheels. In the past plumbers used a cold chisel and hammer, but due to technological change in the manufacture of the pipe, the iron has become more difficult to cut by this means. The snap type cutter is fast and accurate, but it is important that the cutters be maintained in good condition.

CONT

Snap type cutters ... are used not only to cut cast iron soil pipe, but also for cutting vitrified clay pipe, concrete pipe and asbestos cement pipe.

Les coupe-tuyaux à rupture instantanée [...] ne servent pas uniquement à couper les tuyaux d'égout en fonte mais également les tuyaux d'argile vitrifiée, de béton et d'amiante-ciment.

CONT

La meilleure façon de couper un tuyau consiste en l'utilisation d'un coupe-tuyau à chaîne à molette affûtée et trempée. Par le passé, les plombiers utilisaient un ciseau à froid et un marteau, mais étant donné les changements technologiques dans la fabrication des tuyaux, il est devenu beaucoup plus difficile de couper la fonte par ce moyen. Le coupe-tuyau à chaîne est rapide et précis, mais il est très important de maintenir les molettes en bon état.
