A wet horizontal MPI machine is the most commonly used mass-production inspection machine. The machine has a head and tail stock where the part is placed to magnetize it. In between the head and tail stock is typically an induction coil, which is used to change the orientation of the magnetic field by 90° from the head stock.
External access point for fire sprinkler and dry standpipe at a building in San Francisco, US Antique wet standpipe preserved at Edison and Ford Winter Estates. A standpipe or riser is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position, or into bridges in a horizontal position, to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water ...
Test materials can be damaged if compatibility is not ensured. The operator or their supervisor should verify compatibility on the tested material, especially when considering the testing of plastic components and ceramics. The method is unsuitable for testing porous ceramics. Penetrant stains clothes and skin and must be treated with care
[1] Fire pumps are powered most commonly by an electric motor or a diesel engine , or, occasionally a steam turbine . If the governing model building code requires backup power independent of the local electric power grid, a fire pump using an electric motor may utilize an emergency generator when connected via a listed transfer switch .
Application of the penetrant to a part in a ventilated test area. 2. Application of Penetrant: The penetrant is then applied to the surface of the item being tested. The penetrant is usually a brilliant coloured mobile fluid with high wetting capability. [1] The penetrant is allowed "dwell time" to soak into any flaws (generally 5 to 30 minutes).
Standpipe (street), an external freestanding pipe to provide running water in areas with no other water supply; Standpipe water towers; Standpipe (plumbing), a vertical pipe attached to a p-trap for rapid high-volume wastewater drainage such as from washing machines; Standpipe piezometer, a device that monitors groundwater levels through a borehole
In areas where the air or surface ground temperatures reach below freezing point for part or all of the year, some standpipes are equipped with a feature whereby the same mechanism that valves the water for the bib also uncovers a drainage hole (the 'weep hole') at the base of the pipe when the standpipe is closed, ensuring that the column of water drains into the ground rather than remaining ...
The length of the braking test track at the Aldenhoven Testing Center is 150 m, which contains an asphalt and a ceramic pavement lane. Both lanes are 4 m wide and may be wetted as preferred. The braking test lane is surrounded on both sides by a safety zone. A 200 m access acceleration lane is also part of the braking test track. [3]
