AbstractThe importance of the metrology function at Philip Morris Europe (PME), a multinational organisation producing at over 40 sites in the European, Middle Eastern and African Regions is presented. Standardisation of test methods and equipment as well as the traceability of calibration gauges to the same reference gauge are essential in order to obtain comparable results among the various production centers. The metrology function as well as the qualification of instruments and the drafting of test and calibration operating procedures for this region are conducted or co-ordinated by the Research and Development Department in Neuchatel, Switzerland. In this paper the metrology function within PME is presented based on the measurement of the resistance to draw for which the PME R&D laboratory is accredited (ISO/CEI 17025), as both a calibration and a testing laboratory. The following topics are addressed in this paper: traceability of calibration standards to national standards; comparison of results among manufacturing centres; the choice, the budget as well as the computation of uncertainties. Furthermore, some practical aspects related to the calibration and use of the glass multicapillary gauges are discussed.

The Centre for Bibliographic Management is funded by the British Library Research and Development Department, but the details given and opinions expressed are entirely the responsibility of the author. Performance can be measured in quantitative and qualitative terms. Quality of bibliographic service should be concerned with accuracy, consistency and timeliness. Functions and the criteria relating to them have to be determined in order to define effective targets; and regular monitoring is required. Adequacy of records is the criterion that poses most problems, as different users need different quality and level of detail; a major study of this was undertaken by the Centre for Bibliographic Management. Performance measurement is however usually desirable on a continuing basis; an example is the BNB MARC Currency Survey administered by the Centre for nine years.

Operation Cycle

Polypropylene pipes have a significant drawback – high values of the heat-stretch factor. Material properties are changing as the temperature rises, and material is exposed to increased pressure in the pipeline. In such a case, operation of polypropylene pipes is becoming unsafe. One of the known methods for heat-stretch reducing is reinforcement. Reinforcement is performed with aluminum foil or fiberglass. The properties of reinforced polypropylene pipes have not been fully investigating. Such pipes must go through a long operation cycle in order to enterprises could evaluate their properties, primarily such reliability characteristics as infallibility, maintainability, lifetime, and storability. There are no separate Russian National Standards for the properties and characteristics of polypropylene pipes, and for their types in Russia, as well as standard methods for hydraulic tests on destructive inspection at manufacturers. In industry, as well as in housing and utilities sector, are used pipeline valves of different purpose. Reliable and safe enterprise operation depends on the smooth running of equipment, pipelines and valves. In this regard, authors propose to consider valves and pipeline together at determining of reliability indicators. A method of destructive inspection is proposed, whereby the valves and the pipeline are tested together, that are corresponding to the most probable scenarios for the emergency development. The concept basic part includes the definition of a mandatory algorithm for destructive inspection actions during hydraulic testing of polypropylene pipes on a test load. Strength test methods for ball valves, pipelines and their joints have been described in the relevant Interstate, Federal or Industry Standards and Regulations. However, it is advisable to introduce additional standards for static strength testing of polypropylene pipes. The new standard will allow single out reinforced polypropylene pipes in a separate category, provide a definition for such pipes, and also take into account the influence of external factors on the condition of pipelines, their connections and valves.

Water Cooling System

Special SHY-99 anti-corrosion coatings are used for newly developed heat exchange equipment, to resist corrosion and leakage problem of carbon steel water-cooler. The anti-corrosion properties of coatings were examined with routine test methods, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), electro kinetic potential polarization curve method and immersion testing method. The results show that physical properties of coatings are in accordance with national standards, the microstructures of coatings are uniform and tight, the coatings are combined tightly with base metal, and the coatings show excellent corrosion resistance in water of water cooling system.

Von Mises Stresses

Very little scientific information on dental renewables has recently been available. Before this experience, the utilization of these materials was entirely artistic, and the patient's mouth was the only testing laboratory. Today, despite the advanced technical devices and the improvement of consistent test methods for estimating the metallic and thermal properties of renewables, this test sometimes happens on the patient's mouth. The current work has considered, and compared, basic thermal & mechanical characteristic’s of some of the most commonly used restorative materials. The transport of these materials when they were used as a class I cup, mandibular 1st molar, was mixed under different thermal and structural strengths examining the use of ANSYS/work bench 15.0. Consideration was given to Amalgam materials, Composite/mixture, & gold alloy for this effort. The outcomes obtained from ANSYS indicated that the biggest update at the occlusal surface, particularly in the inflection, occurred and is rising to the other four (mesial, & buccal, & lingual & distal surfaces) characteristics & the roots, though Von-Mises was depicted on the cervical line/mark (a border between crown and roots) and spread to both crown & roots. There were 35 tests carried out and the values for the highest separation and von-Mises emphasis both against temperature and structure by using QTIPLOT software, and the final result shows that all values are the highest and highest concentrations of both re-fillers of gold and the mixed nutrients and of both deformation & von-Mises stresses respectively.
