摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the physical strength of husks of a barley ingredient for malt manufacture. Barley kernels with husks are disposed in a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of approximately 40% to 60%, and are agitated for a prescribed time (e.g. approximately 1 hour) using a stirrer bar or the like. After agitation, the barley kernels are treated with a mixed liquid of Methylene Blue and Eosin, and the degree of peeled husk (remaining degree) is examined by referring to the degree of dyed barley kernels, to thereby evaluate the physical strength of the husks of the barley kernels.

A method is described to determine the valve train wear performance of a lubricating oil by adding to the lubricating oil from about 2% to about 9% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil, of a mixture of at least three carbon black components of mixed particle size and measuring the wear induced in a wear test.

The wear resistance of impellers used in multi-stage turbine pumps is tested by using a multi-stage turbine pump having impellers with different physical properties to pump a fluid containing small amounts of an abrasive material. After the fluid has been pumped for a time period sufficient to provide measurable wear to the impellers, the impellers are inspected to determine their relative resistance to wear.

A system for in situ inspection of a surface of a hot gas component of a turbine includes a robot having an elongated inspection arm extending toward the surface of the hot gas component; and an inspection head carried adjacent an end of the inspection arm remote from controls for the robot. The inspection head is manipulated by the inspection arm to locate the inspection head adjacent interior wall portions defining the hot gas component including by displacing the inspection head in a generally axial direction and generally radially toward a wall portion of the hot gas component being inspected. The inspection head is configured with a UV system to excite and detect fluorescence from a taggant material disposed in a coating on the hot gas component.

An ice ball launcher simulates the impact of a storm-generated hailstone falling onto a test specimen or structural component exhibit such as a roofing shingle, skylight, automobile panel, aircraft fuselage panel, aircraft wing panel and the like. The launcher includes a tripod base, a rail, a sled, an ice ball holder cup, a manually operable trigger latch assembly, an elastic band and a laser beam aiming device. The ice ball launcher consistently and repeatably projects ice balls at a predetermined velocity and impact energy onto the component sample. The velocity of each ice ball is measured as it transits from the ice ball launcher to the installation mockup, verifying that the ice ball velocity is within a predetermined velocity tolerance range. The measured velocity and known mass of the ice ball are used to calculate the kinetic impact energy on the component sample material, and to determine whether the calculated impact energy is within a predetermined impact energy tolerance range.

A stone pecking damage analyzer is provided which includes an enclosure frame. A pivotal first conveyor wheel is also provided. Spaced from the fixed conveyor wheel is a second conveyor wheel. A conveyor belt is fitted upon the two conveyor wheels. An automotive tire/wheel combination is mounted for rotation in contact with the conveyor belt planar surface. A variable speed motor torsionally coupled to the shaft powers the tire/wheel combination. A tubular conduit delivers stones to the conveyor's planar surface. An aggravator manipulates the tubular conduit to increase the delivery of stones to the conveyor. A deflector is also provided for redirecting stones delivered to the tire by the conveyor and thereafter accelerated by the tire. A mounting system hangs an automotive vehicle coated body panel in a position commensurate to its position with respect to the vehicle wheel well.

A method for determining stress effects, or stress endurance of a film layer coated on a wafer during a scrubber clean process is disclosed. In the method, a wafer having a film layer coated on top is held in a stationary position while a high pressure water jet having a pressure larger than 60 kg/cm2 is scanned across a top surface of the film layer and through a center of the wafer. The total number of stress defects is then counted in the scanning path on top of the film layer as an indication of the stress endurance of the specific coating layer. The invention also discloses a method for scrubber cleaning a wafer surface which is coated with a film layer without causing stress defects in the film by rotating a silicon wafer, which has a film layer coated on top at a suitable rotational speed, and then scanning a water jet across a top surface of the film layer without passing through a center of the wafer. The water pressure utilized for the water jet may be suitably between 50 kg/cm2 and 75 kg/cm2. It is preferred that the water jet does not pass any regions on the top surface of the film layer that is less than 2 mm from the center of the wafer.
摘要:
A method of measuring or detecting an unknown distribution and content of solid material in a flow of liquid and gas is achieved without any calibration. One or several activated probes or specimens emitting radiation are used. The radiation is measured by a detector on the outside of the flow pipe. Each probe emits radiation only to one detector. The probes are mounted apart both lengthwise and across the pipe section. The probes are mounted at an angle .alpha. to the fluid flow, 20.degree.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the erosion potential of particulate material such as that contained in a mine dump or erosive farmland. The method consists in directing a jet of fluid such as water or air onto the surface of the material from a fixed distance at a fixed pressure or range of pressures and measuring the parameters of the jet against a scale when the jet produces a predetermined effect on the material under test. The apparatus includes a portable accumulator for holding the fluid under pressure, a nozzle through which the fluid may be discharged from the accumulator, means between the accumulator and nozzle for adjusting fluid flow between the two and a portable and adjustable frame such as a tripod on which the apparatus is mounted.
