OTCMKTS:TORZ | Hot Sale Galvanized Steel Pipe Price

American steel is more expensive, you admit that. So if American industry is forced to use it then costs will rise and have to be passed onto the consumer. It will also raise the costs for American exports like cars making them less competitive outside the US. Rising costs in a country means inflation inflation leads to higher interest rates than in turn strengthens the $ which means less exports and unless you put tariffs on all goods entering the US then imports will be cheaper. Higher export costs and lower import costs kills jobs both ways. On the other side of the coin the countries exporting to the US will lose money and not have any money to actually buy American goods.

Each technology has a unique pathway from concept to commercialization. Developing a new chemical process can be one of the most rewarding experiences in one’s chemical engineering career. It demands a committed team effort, hard work, innovative thinking, good timing and a bit of luck. ■

MEB’s battery voltage will depend on the number of cells and cell types, VW says, but at the beginning of production, nominal voltage will range between 300 and 400 volts. Battery pack capacity will be either 48, 62, or roughly 82 kWh, with the 48 kWh and 62 kWh sharing the same pack (the 48 kWh simply has two fewer cell modules), and the 82 kWh pack having a different, larger housing. The smallest battery promises 175 miles on the EPA cycle, the biggest will get a projected 300 mile range, and the 52 kWh pack will be somewhere in between.

26 – The federal government said Corrections Canada would review a decision to transfer a convicted child killer from an Ontario prison to a healing lodge. Terri-Lynne McClintic pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing eight-year-old Victoria Stafford of Woodstock, Ont. The girl’s father called the transfer “completely wrong.”

“The battery cell availability is for us the base really to produce the cars,” Ulbrich said, “but we are taking care of it.”

Tino Fuhrmann, the head of the MEB project, actually says MEB offers “less variance than the MQB platform,” making it an economical way to build different kinds of electric cars with as little complexity as possible.

Similarly, for some purely thermal-driven processes, such as ethylene production, where developments are typically aimed at larger capacities, increased yield, improved heat transfer, shorter residence time and longer cycle times, the textbook approach may not apply. In the steam-cracking process, where plant capacities can regularly exceed 1,000,000 metric tons per year, even very small incremental improvements can make a huge impact on a producer’s net margin. Here, commercial implementation of advancements may not require a laboratory or pilot program. Sometimes, technology advancements can be accomplished by using commercially available kinetic-yield model software, along with performing engineering calculations with advanced tools, such as computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation.

Albina is an industry leader in research and development and in 2018, purchased an MCP30 by Davi, the first type of bending machine in the United States with a "iRoll" smart camera system, allowing operators to view the part being bent compared to a radius template on the control screen.  The machine has the ability to "learn and remember" how different materials bend, where the rolls need to be positioned, and how much spring back is associated with a bend / material.

Before equipment design can begin in earnest, fluid physical properties must be determined. Properties, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and surface tension, can be found in the literature, estimated by the process simulation software using a validated database such as Design Institute for Physical Properties (DIPPR), calculated using various contribution methods, as outlined in the API Technical Data book or measured in the laboratory.

6 – Handsome film and TV star Burt Reynolds died at age 82. Reynolds enjoyed a prolific career with a mix of critically acclaimed roles including “Deliverance” and “Boogie Nights” and commercial hits such as “The Cannonball Run” and “Smokey and the Bandit.” He won an Emmy for the TV series “Evening Shade.”

Integrated probe advantages An integrated touch probe on the cutting head measures and compensates for tube distortions to ensure cut features are correctly positioned whilst maintaining the required tolerances.
