The frames can be made to other specifications. o Wrought iron of 5/8” is used in the scroll design. Depending on intricacy of the design, other thickness’ can be used. o Tempered glass is used on all door units for safety measures (at least 3/8” thick), and is included in the price. Other glass options are available to meet customer’s needs, including impact applications. o Standard hardware specification is: 2 1/8" boring, 2 3/8" backset, 5 ½" center to center. o We are a Baldwin and Emtek hardware dealer and can assist you in your options. Hardware of your choice must be known, so we can bore the correct holes. Templates need to be provided if specifications are different than the standard. Custom Iron Pulls are also available. o The door units are made as a pre-hung unit with a custom made iron frame. It supports the weight of the doors and allows for ease of installation. o Extension flush bolts are used on double door units. The flush bolt is the mechanism that locks the passive door of a double door unit. One flush bolt locks into the top of the doorframe and the bottom flush bolt locks into the threshold/floor. o Pemko weather stripping are used around the door frame and the glass frame (if door has operable glass panels) making the door weather tight. o There are two options on the swing of the doors: in-swing or out-swing. Both configurations have product certification. o Weight will vary depending on measurements and design. A 3' wide by 8' tall door weighs approximately 220 lbs. o Various paint colors and finishes are available. Because the doors are hand painted, slight variations in the colors may occur. o Pricing is determined by size of unit and type of design selected. o Production times vary and will be provided by your dealer upon placing the order. www.vintageirondoors.com 20 Features and Benefits of Vintage Ironworks Custom Iron Entry Units Miami- Dade Code Certified, Florida Building Code Certified Vintage Ironworks door units, including the frames, side lights and transom units, have been engineered for strength, durability and your peace of mind.

  • 5. Sirhowy Ironworks
    Great Archaeological Sites in Blaenau Gwent 5. SIRHOWY IRONWORKS There were a number of ironworks in the area now covered by Blaenau Gwent County Borough, which provided all the raw materials they needed – iron ore, limestone and fuel, charcoal at first but later coal to make coke. The Sirhowy ironworks (SO14301010) are the only one where there is still something to see. The works were opened in 1778 with one blast furnace. Although it was originally blown by water power, in 1799 the owners invested in a Boulton and Watt steam engine. This gave them enough power to blow a second furnace, which started production in 1802. In the early years of the 19th century, the pig iron produced at Sirhowy was sent to the Tredegar works a little further down the valley where it was refined, until 1818 when the Sirhowy works were sold and started to send its pig iron to Ebbw Vale. A third furnace was added in 1826 and a fourth in 1839. But by the 1870s iron smelting at Sirhowy was no longer profitable, and the works finally closed in 1882. Like all ironworks in South Wales, the furnaces were built against a steep bank which enabled the ironworkers to load the charge of iron ore, limestone and coke or charcoal fuel more easily at the top of the furnace. All that is now left now are the remains of a bank of blast furnaces with the arches that would originally have linked them to the casting houses in front, and the building that originally housed the waterwheel.

[email protected] 2University of Banja Luka, Faculty of mining Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina ABSTRACT The iron ore of the Ljubija ore region for decades has a very great impact on the overall social reproduction in the area of the city of Prijedor, RS, BiH, which is clearly connected with the constant renewal and intensification of the production process. We have systematic geological explorations last over 135 years and exploitation with certain interruptions over 100 years. Existing resources/reserves should be optimally activated in order to achieve the commercial viability of investment funds invested in them, but also those that have yet to be invested, and a certain expected national benefit, and at the same time an intensive geological exploration of the potential space for finding new reserves in terms of iron ore base. The paper attempts to assess the real justification of further geological exploration and exploitation in this area and the strategy for further development of iron ore mining. Key words: Ljubija ore region, iron ore, ore resources/reserves, geological exploration, exploitation, development INTRODUCTION The mining area of the Ljubija ore region, with an area of about 1500 km2, in the western part of the Republic of Srpska, in the area between Novi Grad, Prijedor, Bronzani Majdan, Sanski Most and Budimlić Japra, has been a significant source of iron ore and stone for decades for the entire socioeconomic development of Prijedor regions, Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • The Abcs of Steelmaking
    The ABCs of Steelmaking Inspectors can perform their duties better if they possess an understanding of the qualities of steel, the most common base material they work with, and its inherent defects BY RAYMOND R.

It gives a his - torical perspective on iron and steel - making and an overview of the steel manufacturing process.

  • Men of Steel: Driven to Desperation for Much of the 20Th Century, An
    Men of Steel: Driven to Desperation For much of the 20th century, an image easily came to mind when someone mentioned, “The American Steelworker.” This was a man who looked to his past, whose father before him and his grandfather before his father all lived and worked in the same steel town. He was blue collar but proud; after all, the work of his union and even his friends quite literally created the framework for some of our country’s greatest achievements. What steelworkers lacked in college education they made up for in loyalty and hard work. Many of these men called Buffalo, New York their home. Since its beginnings in the early 19th century, Buffalo has been a center for trade and industry due to its location on the shores of Lake Erie and the bank of the Niagara River. In the city’s beginnings many Buffalonians, as the people of Buffalo are known, worked in grain harvesting and that hardworking spirit carried them into the 20th century. The industry of the city grew to include automobile manufacturing and, as we see in The Full Monty, steel. Bethlehem Steel Company, the second largest producer of American steel, was founded in 1857 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1922 they acquired Lackawanna Steel Company, based just outside of Buffalo. Their acquisitions continued and the company built new plants and shipyards in California, Texas, Indiana, and all over the East Coast, owning more than fifteen plants at the company’s height. For the next six decades the company enjoyed great prosperity and contributed to many of the United States’ most beloved landmarks, producing steel for the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and the Hoover Dam.

Synopsis With the aim of extracting lessons learned, this study investigated a large oil spill at an ironworks factory in Saga prefecture, during the severe flooding that hit southwestern Japan in late August 2019. The oil spill dispersed by the flood waters contaminated adjacent crops, irrigation canals and citizens homes in a large area of Omachi town. Many citizens had practiced vertical evacuation. Due to the oil spill, the pumping of flood waters had to be stopped to prevent further contamination, resulting in oil stagnating in the area for several days.
