Improved processing method reduces time required to generate a color radiograph. Prior to, or after exposure to penetrating radiation, the emulsion side of the film is flashed to a colored light which produces the hue changes in the processed radiograph. Agitation of the film during processing assures uniformity of results.
Argon added to helium during gas tungsten arc cover-pass welding in the horizontal position results in a better controlled wider bead width, increased arc stability, and reduction in heat input. Adequate filler material wetness and penetration pass coverage is possible with only one pass.
Split-half cover eliminates the surface marring and dirt penetration problems previously encountered during handling and cable assembly. Metal retaining ring slips over the two plastic halves to hold them in place.
Two surface-renewed film penetration models describe transient heat-transfer between a wall and a fluidized bed. Methods are presented for estimation of mean residence times of particles at the transporting surface, their age densities and the average transport coefficients.
