Hydraulic Injection Pile

How safe is this system,will the piles fail, say in 5-years time after completion of the Tower Block. Certain Towers in Singapore are encountering foundation movements as the piles starts losing some of its frictional shears due to distressed soil.

Level Transmitter Diaphragm Material

For a Level Transmitter with remote seals installed on a Caustic Soda Evaporator Tank, what Diaphragm Material is most suitable?

Limestone Test

Good day,

Here we go again, hehe. The topic is limestone, limestone in foundry is used as a flux in cupola melting, limestone should be a majority of CaCO3 right? If low levels of CaCO3 is present in limestone what could happen? Is there a method to test those limestone if they are really lim

Soldering disaster!

While soldering a new bios battery onto a Hydrotechnik 5000 data logger, I accidentally dropped a spot of solder onto the legs of a ram chip sited on the next PCB (that controls the LCD display). The only piece of luck was that, at the time, there was no power on the system. I used braided de-solder

RS485 Communications and "bit stuffing"

I am in the process of designing industrial control systems that require intercommunication between them. Because of certain requirement, I need a fast link with a high degree of data integrity but the amount of data transmitted between systems is not large, about 10 bytes. I would use RS485, half-d

Both Generators Trip While Running in Parallel

I have experienced several blackouts when both generators tripped almost at the same time while running in parallel. Defective governor or load sharing control were the causes of some of these failures (others - human error!). During some of these incidents, I observed that one generator was on re

Machine Tools have become Uglier
