Calcium hydride is a white or gray chemical compound used in industrial applications such as hydrogen production, drying agents, and metal creation. It can be dangerous due to its flammability and slow or violent reactions with solvents. Proper handling and protective equipment are necessary. Calcium hydride (CaH2) is a powdered chemical compound with a salt-like […]
Industrial furnaces provide heat for processes in steel, glass, and chemical industries. Fuel is burned in a burner, heating a radiant section with metal pipes containing heat transfer fluid (HTF). The convective section recovers additional heat, and a chimney expels exhaust gases while regulating heat loss. An industrial furnace refers to equipment used to provide […]
Lignin is an organic substance found in cell structures and fibers of wood and plants. It is the second richest renewable source of carbon on Earth after cellulose. Sulfur-containing lignin is commercially used for emulsions, dispersing agents, polymer binders, and food additives. It is also used for agricultural soil rehabilitation, as an anti-corrosion agent, and […]
Industrial conveyor belts move materials using a belt or screw mechanism. They can vary in design, size, and materials. Basic types have metal cylinders mounted on frames, while belt systems are motorized and can have curves. Food industry belts may use wire mesh or solid metal sheets. Some systems are mobile and adjustable. Industrial conveyor […]
Industrial sanders are important for finishing wood and metal products quickly and efficiently. Belt, disc, drum, and floor sanders all use the same principles but for different purposes. Belt sanders are used for rough surfaces, disc sanders for intricate work, drum sanders for large pieces of wood, and floor sanders for hardwood floors. Industrial sanders […]
Industrial sealants prevent air, gas and liquid escape, contamination and fill gaps. Four types include liquids, powders, aerosols, foams and pastes. Liquid is fast bonding, powdered is inexpensive and can be mixed with other chemicals, aerosol and foam add extra oxygen particles, and paste is flexible and time-consuming. Industrial sealant is a chemical used to […]
Industrial plant engineering involves designing and building industrial plants, from conceptualization to project completion. Experts in various fields work together to create a viable plan based on the customer’s idea. The process can also be used to upgrade existing systems. Industrial plant engineering is the process of designing and building an industrial plant, from conceptualization […]
Industrial ventilation is used to reduce employee exposure to airborne toxins or flammable vapors. There are two types: dilution and local exhaust ventilation. Dilution is easy to install but can’t handle large quantities of toxic chemicals. Local exhaust is effective but expensive to install and maintain. Ventilation systems are crucial for monitoring indoor air quality […]
Industrial fire alarms are complex devices that monitor and extinguish fires in large buildings. Important components to consider when purchasing fire alarm equipment include monitoring, sensitivity, extinguishing capability, and whether it is wired or intelligently designed. The size of the building and the level of sensitivity needed are also important considerations. Some alarms can help […]
Industrial parks are purpose-built areas for manufacturing and heavy industry, located away from residential and commercial areas. They offer economies of scale, tax incentives, and specific industry themes, but can also face criticism for potential environmental hazards. An industrial park is a type of real estate development purposely designed and divided to house industrial and […]
Industrial parks are real estate developments designed for industrial and manufacturing buildings, located away from residential and commercial areas. They offer economies of scale and specific benefits to tenants, but can also be criticized for potential environmental hazards. An industrial park is a type of real estate development purposely designed and divided to house industrial […]
Industrial design consultancies assist companies in developing concepts into physical products, reducing costs, selecting materials, and registering patents. They can also generate design concepts and help with product development and manufacturing contracts. An industrial design consultancy is a type of firm comprised of industrial design professionals who assist a company or individual in developing a […]
Industrial design encompasses various subgroups such as product, automobile, and plant design. It combines scientific knowledge and creativity to arrive at unique concepts influenced by factors like technology, geography, and people’s taste. Subgroup considerations play an important role in determining modern industrial design characteristics, such as medical instruments’ advances in technology and green architecture’s energy […]
Industrial waste water is used in production and cooling, but contains pollutants that harm humans and animals. Treatment plants remove pollutants, but plant corrosion and bacterial growth are common. Agricultural industries also produce water waste that harms marine life. Petrochemicals and oils are also common pollutants. Industrial waste water is water that is used in […]
Calcium sulfate is a versatile compound used in various industries, including construction, art, paper, and metalworking. It is used as an ingredient in plaster of Paris, quick-setting concrete, and pigment. It is also used as a coating agent for papers, a filler in paper production, and an additive in fertilizers. In the food and pharmaceutical […]
The National Industrial Recovery Act was passed in 1933 as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal. It aimed to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment by regulating industry and business, prohibiting child labor, setting a minimum wage, and funding public works projects. Antitrust laws were suspended, allowing for business cooperation and the elimination of unfair […]
Industrial adhesives are classified by adhesive properties, composition, and cure mechanism. Resins, polymers of synthetic origin, are used as industrial adhesives and can be classified into thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastic adhesives bond most materials and are resistant to oil but not heat or water. Thermoset adhesives, such as epoxies, polyurethanes, and phenolic resins, are cured […]
Degree programs in industrial-organizational psychology can be practitioner-oriented or scientist-oriented. A terminal master’s degree prepares students for applied work, while a scientific professional model at the doctoral level prepares students for research and academic work. The type of degree determines the career path. Students should consider their career goals before choosing a program. Doctoral programs […]
Industrial design internships are available in manufacturing, visual art, and high technology industries. They can focus on product design, visual displays, or software user interfaces. Interns work closely with engineers, sales, and marketing personnel, and may complete a single project or work on smaller tasks. Industrial design is an interdisciplinary field that combines skills from […]
