3.2.5. the sampler must have a conductive copper cable, one end of which is soldered to the body of the sampler, and on the other end there is a lug for a bolt or other device for grounding the sampler with a grounding loop.

Before sampling, the sampler must be grounded;

3.2.6. sampling and measurement of oil products in clothes made of synthetic fabrics is prohibited;

3.2.7. manual sampling of oil products from tanks is allowed no earlier than after 10 minutes. after the cessation of the movement of oil products;

3.2.8. it is allowed to measure the level of the oil product only 2 hours after the cessation of the movement of the oil product;

3.2.9. at night, for lighting, use a serviceable portable lamp "Impulse" in explosion-proof design

3.3. When determining the density of an oil product, the sampler is placed on the bottom of a horizontally installed bath.

A clean and dry hydrometer is slowly and carefully lowered into the sampler or cylinder with the test liquid, supporting the hydrometer by the upper end, avoiding hitting the side walls and bottom of the sampler (cylinder).

3.4. When the hydrometer is installed, the density readings are taken from the liquid level, while simultaneously determining the temperature of the oil product.

4. Safety requirements in emergency situations

4.1. During the performance of work, the following situations may occur, which may lead to an accident or an accident:

ignition of spilled oil products;
the appearance at the workplace of an increased concentration of vapors of petroleum products.

4.2. In case of accidental spillage of oil products on a tank truck, tank, tank car, wipe the spilled dry, and remove the top layer of earth on the ground and cover it with sand.

4.3. In the event of a fire, the employee is obliged to immediately stop all work, call the fire department by phone 01, report the incident to the immediate supervisor and proceed to extinguish the fire with the available fire extinguishing equipment.

4.4. In case of injury, poisoning, sudden illness, it is necessary to provide first aid to the victim.

Report the incident to the immediate supervisor, if necessary, call an ambulance.

5. Safety requirements at the end of work

5.1. At the end of the work before handing over the shift, it is necessary to tidy up your workplace.

5.2. Assemble and clean fixture tool.

5.3. Transfer the necessary documentation to the shift in accordance with the established procedure.

5.4. Notify the shift supervisor and the head of the shop about the shortcomings discovered during work.

5.5. Wash your hands with soap.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Water from the air 29.06.2021

In regions of the planet with a shortage of drinking water, sea water has to be desalinated. This takes a lot of energy, and in areas more remote from the ocean, there is no such possibility. The solution to the problem may be the condensation of water vapor from the atmosphere. The idea is not new, but the "passive" technologies that existed before, taking into account natural temperature changes, cannot be used during daylight hours. To collect dew, for example, foil is used, which heats up during the day.

Scientists from ETH Zurich have developed a technology that allows you to extract water around the clock, even under the scorching sun. In addition, it does not require energy at all.

The device consists of a cone-shaped shield and a glass panel with a special coating that reflects the sun's rays and removes heat. Thus, the device is cooled down to 15 degrees Celsius below the ambient temperature. Inside the funnel, the water vapor turns into water. The process is similar to how condensation appears on poorly insulated windows in winter.

Other technologies usually require the condensed water to be wiped off the surface - that is, another energy cost. Without this step, a significant portion of the condensed water would stick to the surface and remain unusable. Researchers at ETH Zurich applied a super-water-repellent coating of a specially developed polymer to the underside of the glass, and the condensed water began to collect into balls and flow (or rather, “jump off”) on its own.

The device is at least twice as superior to "passive" foil technologies in terms of the amount of water produced. A pilot apparatus with a funnel 10 centimeters in diameter produced 4,6 milliliters of water per day. Larger glass means more water. Under ideal conditions, scientists could collect up to 0,53 deciliters of water per square meter of glass surface per hour.

"This is close to the theoretical maximum value of 0,6 deciliters per hour, which is physically impossible to exceed," said Ivan Hechler, a doctoral student in the group of Dimos Poulikakos, professor of thermodynamics at the University of Zurich.
