Page 353 - Results of an Experimental Inquiry into the Comparative Tensile Strength and other Properties of various kinds of Wrought Iron and Steel, by David Kirkaldy, second edition, illustrated by numerous plates and diagrams, 8vo, cloth 18 o Strength of Machinery.
Page 24 - Rivet-holes must be accurately spaced; the use of drift pins will be allowed only for bringing together the several parts forming a member, and they must not be driven with such force as to disturb the metal about the holes.
Page 23 - ... at fracture, which shall be silky in character. Before or after being heated to a cherry red and quenched in water at 80 deg. F., the steel shall admit of bending while cold, flat upon itself, without sign of fracture...
Page 24 - At least one sample in three must bend 1ЙО degrees to this curve without cracking. When nicked on one side, and bent by a blow from a sledge, the fracture must be nearly all fibrous, showing but few chrystalline specks.
Page 302 - ... enclosed by the two vertical lines and the two lines representing the thermoelectric power of the two substances. Thus, the area abdc is equal to the electromotive force in a circuit containing two junctions of copper and iron when one junction is at 25° C. and the other at 125° C. The area in any case may be obtained by multiplying the difference between the temperatures of the two junctions by the length of the vertical line erected at a point midway between the temperatures of the two junctions,...
Page 368 - If any cement begins to set in less time, it is stirred one-and-a-half minutes, since experience has shown that no workman, however skilled, can uniformly mix 300 grams or 400 grams (10 ozs. or 14 ozs.) of cement with water in one minute. The quantity of water used in mixing has a great influence on the time of setting. At the Royal Laboratory the cement is mixed with water until it can run off from the mixing knife in long thin threads like syrup. This consistency can be determined so closely that,...
Page 68 - ... steam at pressure and temperature C, and let HDEG represent the heat added as superheat. Then, if the superheated steam in the cylinder be expanded down to back pressure BM, the steam at release would be dry saturated steam without any superheat, and the efficiency of the superheat = SDEM — HDEG. For the case where steam is superheated at release, if the steam in the cylinder at some high temperature, E, is expanded along the adiabatic line EG to some lower pressure, F (at which, however, the...
Page 24 - ... pieces; an elastic limit of not less than one-half the ultimate strength; an elongation of not less than 25 per cent. in 8 inches; and a reduction of area at fracture of not less than 50 per cent. Samples to bend cold 180°...
Page 24 - The rivet heads must be of approved hemispherical shape, and of a uniform size for the same size rivets throughout the work. They must be full and neatly finished throughout the work and concentric with the rivet hole.
Page 24 - The rivets when driven must completely fill the holes. The rivetheads must be round and of a uniform size for the same-sized rivets throughout the work. They must be full and neatly made, and be concentric to the rivethole, and thoroughly pinch the connected pieces together.
