The usefulness and applicability of water indices such as Langelier saturation index, Ryznar stability index and Practical scale index for predicting the corrosive/scale forming tendency of chemically treated open recirculating cooling water has been studied. The study is based on the obtained corrosion and scale data for the period from May 1998 to December 2007, carried out at Fast Breeder Te...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa inadvertantly or purposely, an oral intake of corrosive substances may cause life-threatening problems. early admission to the hospital, clinical and endoscopic evaluation, and early surgery when required, may reduce morbidity and mortality. we report the case of a 49-year-old male patient, who had attempted suicide, by drinking about 800 ml of 25% ...

1. Skin corrosion refers to the production of irreversible damage to the skin manifested as visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, following the application of a test material [as defined by the United Nations (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)] (1). This Test Guideline provides an in vitro procedure allowing the identificatio...

Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets are characterised by excellent magnetic properties. However, being extremely vulnerable to the attack of both climate and corrosive environments, their applications are limited. This paper describes how, at different thicknesses of N-propyl-trimetoxy-silane, the coating affects the magnetic force of nickel plated magnets. We also investigate if the corrosion resistance...

In this paper, an experimental-theoretical method is suggested for defining physical-mechanical characteristics of polymer materials with regard to influence of corrosive liquid media. Experimental dependences of mechanical characteristics on a swelling function are given for a series of polymer materials. One dimensional and three-dimensional linear-elastic models of body deformation with rega...

The plastic hardener methyl ethyl ketone peroxide is unstable peroxide that releases free oxygen radicals. Ingestion of this compound induces widespread liver necrosis, severe metabolic acidosis, corrosive esophagitis and gastritis, that is often fatal. A 49-year-old man unintentionally ingested approximately 100 mL (55%) of this compound in solution, which was purchased as plastic hardener. De...
