Criação de novo procedimento de engenharia que possibilite a rastreabilidade das tubulações de uma indústria química

The number of piping in an industry is high. Through this piping are conducted several kind of products at several temperature and pressure conditions. In a chemical company, the piping quantity conducting harmful chemical products to human health and to the environment is higher. Nowadays the theme sustainability is often mentioned and harm to environment may cause irreversible damage to the human being, to the fauna, to the flora and to company´s credibility. In this context, controlling over the piping to avoid accidents is mandatory. The objective of this monograph is to create a procedure which enables the chemical companies piping traceability. This monograph analyses the several existent traceability system in the three economy sectors and approaches the technical question of industrial piping in order to create a procedure that achieves its objectives as a technical document and at the same time be economically feasible, with low complexibility level and high practicability. Some possibilities to elaborate this procedure had been studied, as the creation of an alphanumeric code and making with a chisel in the pipeline based on ASTM F2897 and the use of chips to store the information. However, the procedure which best meet the requirement as low cost and high applicability is filling out an electronic plan with information about welding process, welding certification, welding consumables and inspections

Fatores críticos de sucesso na implementação e gerenciamento do pensamento enxuto: um estudo na manufatura de fitas acrílicas

As a result of the industrial competitiveness increase in recent decades, concern about process improvements has been growing significantly. Lean Thinking principles are being more and more applied in the different sectors of the industry and aim to reduce costs, which can generate satisfactory results for an organization. Besides the application of lean tools on workstations, Lean Thinking seeks cultural change of the employees. Although the concepts of this management philosophy are widely disseminated, many organizations find barriers in their implementation and management. This study seeks to identify and evaluate the critical success factors in the implementation of Lean Thinking based on a qualitative research in the manufacturing environment of a multinational chemical company that produces acrylic tapes for the automotive market

Magnesium - Tellurium by Powder Methods

Today considerable work is being done in the compressed metal powder field which is gradually ob­taining prominence as a valuable branch of metallurgy. The mass of data, however, has led to many different ideas on the results of sintering.

The Age-Hardening of Magnesium with Aluminum and Zinc

Magnesium is one of the most active elements and forms oxides, nitrides, and carbides, but not hydrides. Due to its activity, low melting point, low strength when unalloyed, and the difficulty with which it is worked, magnesium has not been and is not at present well developed.

The Casting of Anodes for the Series System of Electrolytic Copper Refining

The electrolytic refining process, while usually considered an auxiliary process used in conjunction with pyrometallurgical extraction, deserves a special niche in the complex metallurgy of copper. The development of electrolytic copper refining, for example, is largely responsible for the prominence of the electrical industry. Conversely, it could be stated that the electrical industry played an important part in the development of the copper industry.

A PROPOSED SAMPLE-BASED TECHNIQUE TO ESTIMATE THE STANDARDIZED MORTALITY RATIO

Evaluation of a series of deaths due to a particular disease is a frequently requested task in occupational epidemiology. There are several techniques available to determine whether a series represents an occupational health problem. Each of these techniques, however, is subject to certain limitations including cost, applicability to a given situation, feasibility relative to available resources, or potential for bias. In light of these problems, a technique was developed to estimate the standardized mortality ratio at a greatly reduced cost. The technique is demonstrated by its application in the investigation of brain cancer among employees of a large chemical company. ^

Isolation thicknesses of water for UO₂F₂ solution systems /

Previously published data was used for an empirical study of critical arrays of slab and cylindrically shaped vessels interacting through water. These vessels contained an aqueous solution of UO₂F₂ and the U²³⁵ isotopic enrichment was greater than 90%. Approximate isolation thicknesses of water for each of the above two cases is given.

Preferred orientation in cross-rolled uranium /

A study is made of the preferred orientation that occurs as a result of cross-rolling uranium sheet. The study is made by the use of inverse-pole figures and calculated thermal expansion coefficients.
