ASME B31.3 is the generally accepted standard for process piping, worldwide. It is the de facto standard for piping for the oil, petro-chemical and chemical industries, worldwide. To facilitate its international use, ISO/ WD 15649, Petroleum and natural gas industries-piping, has been...
The goal of this book is to present for readers the articles from the 11th International Symposium on the Science and Processing of Cast Iron that was held in September 2017 in Jönköping, Sweden. The content of the book reflects the state of the art, research and development...
Historically, the term quality was used to measure performance in the context of products, processes and systems. With rapid growth in data and its usage, data quality is becoming quite important. It is important to connect these two aspects of quality to ensure better performance. This book...
This new volume, Nanotechnology Applications in Dairy Science, is designed to provide new insight into the utilization of nanotechnology in dairy science and food science. It focuses on applications of nanotechnology in packaging and drying of dairy and meat products,...
1.1 This guide applies the life-cycle approach to cleaning process validation, which includes the development, qualification, and verification of cleaning processes. It is applicable to pharmaceuticals (including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)); all dosage forms;...
This recommended practice describes the materials, related equipment, and particular processing techniques utilized in process science curing of composite hardware where pressure is imparted specifically to the resin of curing composites. Included as Appendix "A" to this ARP is...
5.1 Accurate measurement of organic carbon in water at low and very low levels is of particular interest to the electronic, life sciences, and steam power generation industries. 5.2 Elevated levels of organics in raw water tend to degrade ion exchange resin capacity. Elevated levels of...
4.1 This practice is used by artists, designers, scientists, engineers, and government regulators, to specify an existing or desired color. It is used in the natural sciences to record the colors of specimens, or identify specimens, such as human complexion, flowers, foliage, soils, and...
4.1 μ-XRF is a nondestructive qualitative elemental analysis technique used for polymers. It involves excitation of a sample by an X-ray source resulting in the emission of characteristic X-rays detected using an energy dispersive X-ray detector. Results are displayed simultaneously as a spectrum...
1.1 This guide covers procedures and material for examining fires in oxygen systems for the purposes of identifying potential causes and preventing recurrence. 1.2 This guide is not comprehensive. The analysis of oxygen fire incidents is not a science, and definitive causes have not been...
4.1 Although some CM is used in the pharmaceutical industry (for example, purified water production), and some processes are inherently continuous individual unit operations (such as dry granulation and compression), these operations are generally operated in isolation and do not deliver the...
This is an initial release of a recommended practice for an interface to supplier simulations that utilize traditional inter-process communication (IPC) methods of shared memory and semaphore communications. These IPC methods are standard practice in the computer science world and...
1.1 This is a guide to risk-based corrective action for the protection of ecological resources and supplements the RBCA process (Guide E2081). The primary objective of the Eco-RBCA process is to provide a flexible framework for a tiered approach to ERA and risk management decision...
1.1 This terminology standard includes definitions of terms used in the forensic sciences. 1.2 Legal and scientific and terms in common use that are generally understood or defined adequately in other readily available sources may not be included, except when dictionaries show multiple...
5.1 Spectral analysis of soils for agricultural use is being used worldwide to obtain rapid data on soil nutrients. for the purpose of agricultural management including fertilizer application and other amendments such as pH adjustment, organic supplements, etc. Satellite, aerial, and ground-based...
