This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maintenance and Repair of Architectural Cast Iron The successful conservation of cast-iron architectural elements and objects is dependent upon an accurate diagnosis of their condition and the problems affecting them, as well as the selection of appropriate repair, cleaning, and painting procedures. Frequently, it is necessary to undertake major repairs to individual elements and assemblies; in some cases badly damaged or missing components must be replicated. The long-term preservation of architectural cast iron is dependent upon both the undertaking of timely, appropriate repairs and the commitment to a regular schedule of maintenance.

Book Cast Iron

Download or read book Cast Iron written by William Keep and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cast Iron: A Record of Original Research This volume has been prepared in response to many requests that the author's researches might be presented in a convenient form. In May, 1885, the author discovered that there was a relation between shrinkage and the composition of a foundry mixture, but not until the publication of Professor Turner's discovery that the condition of carbon depended upon the proportion of silicon was it discovered that shrinkage varied inversely as silicon. Since that date the author, by his method of tests, has endeavored to discover the influence of the chemical elements in cast iron, and the results were recorded in the Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers prior to 1894. In 1894 it became evident that the physical qualities of cast iron were not understood. Professor Turner on page 232 of his "Metallurgy of Iron and Steel" (1895) says regarding shrinkage: "The subject has since been carefully investigated by W. J. Keep of Detroit, whose experiments embody the whole of the trustworthy data available." The author, as member of the Testing Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, made extensive experiments to determine the physical properties of cast iron, the results of which are recorded in the Transactions of that society. These were such a surprise that the committee was requested to prove the author's conclusions by tensile tests.

Book American Malleable Cast Iron Classic Reprint

Download or read book American Malleable Cast Iron Classic Reprint written by H. A. Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Malleable Cast Iron The literature of malleable cast iron, in the American sense of that term, is limited to a single book first issued about 10 years ago and now out of print, and to a series of articles of great diversity of character and quality in the technical publications of this country and Europe. Much of the most valuable scientific matter is buried in the purely scientific press, frequently under titles which do not suggest its application to any one not a specialist in metallurgy. Under these circumstances the preparation of a new book dealing with American malleable cast iron in theory and practice may serve a useful purpose as summarizing and recording, so far as any book can, the contemporary state of the art in the metallurgy of this product. If in the following pages the specialist finds much which appears to him elemental or trivial or the non technical reader finds matter which appears too complex, the author must plead in extenuation his desire to prepare a book to suit many kinds of readers. This has necessitated the inclusion of much elementary matter both in metallurgy and mechanics which will be useful only in acquainting the lay reader with the interpretation of terms and data which form the every day vocabulary of the technician. On the other hand it has seemed that in order that the reader might secure full value from a reading of these pages no known fact or theory should be excluded merely in the interest of simplicity. Feeling that no single individual is justified in the belief that his own views are final in so complex a subject the author has not hesitated to refer freely to the literature and even to record opinions contrary to his own. So far as possible due credit has been given in all such cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Application of Cast and Wrought Iron to Building Purposes In the section on Cast-iron Beams there was little to add to what was contained in the first edition, beyond some tables of the results of experimental researches into the strength and constitution of iron, and its improvement by certain pro cesses of manufacture. In the course of my experience I have seen no reason to change the opinions I had previously expressed on the uncertain character of trussed girders, and I still advise the exercise of great caution in their employ ment, from the conviction that they are equally unsound in principle and dangerous in practice. In the section on trellis beams some additional examples have been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Plain Instructions

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Instructions: To Prepare and Preserve From Rust, Wrought Cast Iron Steel To my friends the public, before the great public, I present myself with homage and respect; and my object for so doing, is to give them information upon a subject which is of immense importance to their interests. To say, that I am going to discourse upon the preservation from Rust, of Iron, Cast Iron and Steel, is to say a great deal; to say Iron, Cast, Iron and Steel can at a very small expense be rendered Rust proof, is to speak volumes to every practical and reflecting mind; yet such is the fact, and I am going to prove it. After more than four years experience and observation in this business in Paris, France, I will relate my views in a plain, unvarnished manner. First, then, I think nearly every article of Iron, Cast Iron and Steel ought to be galvanised; and for the simple reason that it costs so little to do it, and yet when well done it is done for ever; one cent per pound is all they charge in Paris for galvanising articles brought to them, when these articles are of any considerable weight, such for example as pipes for stoves, water pails, locks, spring wire for seats, &c. But before I proceed any further I will state the reason why it costs so little to galvanise, otherwise to zinc Iron, &c. I claim the merit and honor of being the first individual that ever promulgated in this country the knowledge, that sulphuric acid, that has been made use of for refining oils, is the article they use in Paris since about three years, to cleanse the oxyde of the metals, and that it actually answers better than sulphuric acid that costs so much money; it is after the oil refiner has done with it for his use, so that he is glad to be rid of it for nothing; this is precisely the article that does so well to cleanse the oxyde of the metals, thereby replacing an article that costs a great deal, by another which costs simply the carriage of bringing it to the manufactory where it is wanted: this is the first important economy in galvanising Iron: the second is that instead of using sal-ammoniac, which is a very expensive article in the items of galvanising, on account of the very great quantity necessary to be employed; they use in Paris since about three years the coarsest kind of muriatic salt otherwise called muriate d' ammoniaque or sel non sub lime, which does not cost but about half the former in the first instance, and lasts much longer being a stronger bodied article; the economy effected upon these two important articles, reduces the price of galvanising as before stated to one cent per pound. Rosin, lamp oil and other substances have been tried in Paris to endeavor to economise upon this muriate d' ammoniaque or sel non sublime, but nothing as yet has been discovered to succeed so well; it is absolutely necessary whilst galvanising for the zinc to be well and entirely covered with this salt, to prevent it from oxydising. To such an extent is this idea of galvanising or zincing every article carried in Paris; that they even galvanise a course kind of wire work or wire cloth, which is there employed in the place of laths for partition walls: the plaster will adhere readily to it, and besides the advantage of not being scarcely any more expense than laths in the first instance; it will endure fifty times as long; takes no less room; and will not burn as laths do in the unfortunate event of a fire; the finer kinds of wire cloth adapted for sieves in the place of horse hair cloth, answers admirably, is a hundred times more economical than horse hair cloth for this purpose, and the first cost is very little more; this article is likewise galvanised to a great extent at Paris.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keep's Test for Cast-Iron: A Description of the Routine to Be Pursued by Those Using This Method of Testing Of course, it is much to be desired that some plan might be adopted by which a test-piece casting would indicate exactly and directly the physical qualities of a casting of the same metal; but no method of doing this has been devised or seems likely to be. Mr. Keep's plan is, there fore, presented as the next best thing and the best practicable test. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
