It is vitally important that the connecting link, the sealant, joining all these panels be of top quality, capable of performing satisfactorily for a great many years. without this performance, water tightness soon is lost, resulting in long, costly mod- ifications and repairs. Many factors must be considered in designing a commercial building which will give many years of trou- ble free service. These include joint design, selection of sealant, surface preparation of joints just prior to caulking and, finally, selection of the proper backer rod (against which sealant is placed). The right decisions in these important areas, plus proper installation of the prod- ucts, ensures desired results.

  • Failure of the Collection Volume Method and Attempts of the ESE Lightning ROD Industry to Resurrect It Abdul M
    118 Journal of Lightning Research, 2012, 4, (Suppl 2: M9) 118-128 Open Access Failure of the Collection Volume Method and Attempts of the ESE Lightning ROD Industry to Resurrect it Abdul M. Mousa* Consultant (Retired from BC Hydro), Vancouver, Canada Abstract: To facilitate the marketing of their devices, the vendors of Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning rods are attempting to get the Collection Volume Method (CVM) in IEEE Standard 998 which deals with the Shielding of Substations. This attempt follows their failures before IEC, Standards Australia and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). Voting on the standards of the IEEE is done by a pool of persons, most of whom are not lightning experts. The same applies to potential buyers of ESE devices who are being wooed by use of the CVM. This paper seeks to enlighten those persons by using indisputable field observations to prove invalidity of the CVM. The paper also shows that development of the CVM rested on a false perception that discrepancies existed between field observations and predictions of the Electrogeometric Model (EGM), and that the CVM failed to address those claimed discrepancies. Keywords: Lightning, lightning protection, lightning protection standards, collection volume method, electrogeometric model, early streamer emission (ESE) lightning rods. 1. INTRODUCTION effect of location of the measuring point on magnitude of the current was subsequently confirmed by the observed While its roots go further back in history, the differences between the simultaneous current measurements Electrogeometric Model (EGM) was first articulated by taken at different heights of the 540 m Ostankino TV tower Young et al.

  • Imperial Units
    Imperial units From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the post-1824 measures used in the British Empire and countries in the British sphere of influence. For the units used in England before 1824, see English units. For the system of weight, see Avoirdupois. For United States customary units, see Customary units . Imperial units or the imperial system is a system of units, first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, later refined (until 1959) and reduced. The system came into official use across the British Empire. By the late 20th century most nations of the former empire had officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement.

Although most of the units are defined in more than one system, some subsidiary units were used to a much greater extent, or for different purposes, in one area rather than the other. The distinctions between these systems are often not drawn precisely.

  • The Similarity of the Action of Franklin and ESE Lightning Rods Under Natural Conditions †
    atmosphere Communication The Similarity of the Action of Franklin and ESE Lightning Rods under Natural Conditions † Vernon Cooray Department of Engineering Sciences, Uppsala University, 752 37 Uppsala, Sweden; [email protected] † This paper is based on part of an invited lecture given at the International Conference on Lightning Protection, Cagliari, Italy, 2010. Received: 29 May 2018; Accepted: 6 June 2018; Published: 11 June 2018 Abstract: In the lightning rods categorized as Early Streamer Emission (ESE) types, an intermittent voltage impulse is applied to the lightning rod to modulate the electric field at its tip in an attempt to speed up the initiation of a connecting leader from the lightning rod when it is under the influence of a stepped leader moving down from the cloud. In this paper, it is shown that, due to the stepping nature of the stepped leader, there is a natural modulation of the electric field at the tip of any lightning rod exposed to the lightning stepped leaders and this modulation is much more intense than any artificial modulation that is possible under practical conditions. Based on the results, it is concluded that artificial modulation of the electric field at the tip of lightning rods by applying voltage pulses is an unnecessary endeavor because the nature itself has endowed the tip of the lightning rod with a modulating electric field. Therefore, as far as the effectiveness of artificial modulation of the tip electric field is concerned, there could be no difference in the lightning attachment efficiency between ESE and Franklin lightning rods. Keywords: Franklin lightning rod; Early Streamer Emission, ESE lightning rod; lightning attachment 1.

  • Exercise 2-3 Flow Rate and Velocity
    Exercise 2-3 Flow Rate and Velocity EXERCISE OBJECTIVE C To describe the operation of a flow control valve; C To establish the relationship between flow rate and velocity; C To operate meter-in, meter-out, and bypass flow control circuits. DISCUSSION Flow rate is the volume of fluid passing a point in a given period of time. Flow rate is often measured in liters per minute (l/min) in metric units. It is usually measured in US gallons per minute [gal(US)/min] in English units. 1 l/min equals 0.264 gal(US)/min. Figure 2-22 shows an example. If 100 liters (26.4 US gallons) of water flow past the bridge within one minute, then the river has a flow rate of 100 l/min [26.4 gal(US)/min]. Figure 2-22. River flowing under a bridge. Velocity is the average speed of a particle of fluid past a given point. In hydraulics, velocity is often measured in centimeters per min (cm/min) in metric units, or in inches per min (in/min) in English units. 2-35 Flow Rate and Velocity In a hydraulic line, the rate of oil flow is equal to the oil velocity multiplied by the line cross-sectional area. In equation form: Metric units: Note: A liter is 1000 cm3. Therefore, divide the number of cubic centimeters per minute (cm3/min) by 1000 to obtain flow rates in l/min. English units: Note: A US gallon is 231 in3. Therefore, divide the number of cubic inches per minute (in3/min) by 231 to obtain flow rates in gal(US)/min.

  • Wood Structures in Traditional Random Rubble Wall Constructions in Cagliari
    Proceedings of the First International Congress on Construction History, Madrid, 20th-24th January 2003, ed. S. Huerta, Madrid: I. Juan de Herrera, SEdHC, ETSAM, A. E. Benvenuto, COAM, F. Dragados, 2003. Wood structures in traditional random rubble wall constructions in Cagliari. Marco Cadinu Recent research on the residential buildings in Cagliari from late the middle ages to the first part of the 20th century, is providing more information about wall construction as we!1 as more general construction techniques. This research allows to distinguish building methods, the materials used, and the architectural models though the different periods.' One section of the present study, designed to provide a preliminary identification of vertical structures limited to non-monumental buildings, has shed some light on the quality and nature of wall construction. The most recurrent waJl typology in the row houses and in the other buildings is composed of random rubb]e and lean lime. B]ocks of tufo stone are used only for door and window frames as well as quoining. This kind of wa]] is very simple, often made with the help of sustaining structures to contain and press the ]ayers of these materials; they range from around 42-58 centimetres.2 The static properties of these walls is mediocre because they are heavy and not very resistant to tensile and shearing stress; they were best used for one or two-floor buildings, although sometimes they can be found in four or five-floor buildings. In the present stlldy we have focllsed our attention on the taller buildings.' We have observed in the wall sections the interesting presence of horizontal juniper wood trunks.
