DRY STACK [5 records]

Record 1 2017-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

No need to build a concrete wall behind the dry stack if you build the rock wall properly. A dry stack rock wall relies on gravity to hold up the bank so the rock has to weigh enough to counteract the force of the dirt pushing on it.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
CONT

Un muret de pierres sèche peut être posé à même le sol seulement si celui-ci est plat et très stable.

CONT

Concentrations of chemicals in water are typically measured in units of the mass of chemical (milligrams, mg or micrograms, µg) per volume of water (liter, L, l). Concentrations in water can also be expressed as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb). ... Occasionally, concentrations of chemicals in water may be written as grams per cubic meter (g/m³). This is the same as grams per 1,000 liters, which may be converted to milligrams per liter (mg/L). Therefore, 1 g/m³ = 1 mg/L = 1 ppm.

CONT

Stack testing has determined that PAHs are detected in the stack gases at a facility at concentrations(g per dry standard cubic metre of gas).

Key term(s)
  • gramme per cubic meter
  • gramme per cubic metre

CONT

[...] les explosions de poussières peuvent se produire à des concentrations supérieures à 20 grammes de substance par mètre cube d'air.

CONT

Des études ont permis de mesurer les concentrations, en grammes par mètre cube normalisé de gaz à sec, d'HAP dans les gaz sortant des cheminées d'installations de traitement du bois à la créosote [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Papermaking Machines
DEF

A grouping of a number of gear-driven, cylindrical metal drums in series, which are steam-heated to dry wet paper passed over it. The dry end of a paper machine may contain several of these sections.

CONT

... the paper is conveyed over a series of steam-heated rotating drums(driers) to be dried to a predetermined moisture content. To obtain a smooth surface finish, the paper may be passed through a calendar stack at the dry end of the paper machine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines à papier
CONT

Le sécherie classique se compose de deux rangées superposées [...] de cylindres creux, en fonte, d'environ 1.5 m de diamètre.

OBS

On écrirait mieux «sècherie».

OBS

sècherie : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

OBS

Les cylindres, au nombre d'une cinquantaine pour le séchage des papiers [...], sont disposées en batteries [...] comportant un nombre variable de cylindres.

DEF

A machine, intended to smooth or otherwise finish the paper and consisting essentially of a certain number of superposed rolls of which only one is power driven.

OBS

calender: term and definition standardized by ISO.

OBS

Not to be confused with the "machine stack", also called "calender", which is located at the dry end of the paper machine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines à papier
DEF

Machine formée de cylindres métalliques lisses et superposés, dont un seul est commandé, qui sert à lisser ou à glacer les papiers.

OBS

calandre : terme normalisé par l'ISO et l'AFNOR.

  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

dry standard cubic meters (dscm): Concentration of contaminants in gases emitted from sources (such as cement kilns) are generally expressed as a weight of that material per a volume of gas. Emissions from sources often contain water vapor from evaporation of water in the processed material or as water from combustion of hydrocarbons. This amount varies from source to source and at variable temperatures from source to source. To make an emission rate meaningful for comparison to another source or to a permit limit, the emission rate must be stated as a weight per (dry) gas at standard conditions. The specific standard conditions are set by the applicable authority, often a national laboratory group.

CONT

[The] MTEC(Maximum Theoretical Emissions Concentration) [is] calculated by dividing the feedrate by the stack gas flowrate and is expressed as micrograms per dry standard cubic meter(µg/dscm).

CONT

Stack testing has determined that PAHs are detected in a facility's stack gases at concentrations(g per dry standard cubic metre of gas)...
