What are my choices? Although this could look like an innocuous question… lots of elements enter into play. While the selection is remove for some clients, there are a lot more for which this selection is anything yet remove.
 
 
View glasses permit you to securely observe procedures in your storage containers, vessels, pipelines, and reactors. It's a home window that permits drivers to examine the procedure media, observe responses, observe the performance of blending tools, validate the existence or lack of media, see fluid degree, and so on. It includes steel, glass, and gasket elements. In purchase to make certain optimum efficiency, a range of elements should be thought about before order from sight glass manufacturer. Right below are 5 important points to think about when specifying a sight glass for your procedure.
 
 
Let's start.
 
 
PRESSURE
 
The glass products chosen, the unsupported size, and the glass density all contribute in identifying the stress capacities of a sight glass setting up.
 
 
There are 2 sorts of view glasses: a traditional glass disc and a glass disc fused to a steel ring throughout production. The steel ring squeezes the glass and holds it in radial compression. Glass generally falls short because of this of undergoing considerable stress. With fused sight glass home windows, the compressive pressure of the steel ring goes beyond the tensional pressure (i.e., stress) and, because of this, the sight glass is very immune to failing. Fused sight glass home windows provide high-pressure rankings and high security margins.
 
 
The toughest fused view glasses are made from duplex stainless-steel and borosilicate glass; this mix develops the highest possible compression.
 
 
TEMPERATURE
 
The temperature level will identify the glass kind and more frequently the gasket product.
 
 
Typical Optic Products and Basic Temperature level Varies
 
 
Download and install our Chemical & Pharmaceutical View Glass Application Manual
 
 
MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
 
Carbon steel and stainless-steel are both many typical steels utilized. Stainless-steel supplies much far better rust resistance and is typical in pharmaceutical applications.
 
 
METHOD OF CONNECTION
 
There are 3 approaches to link:
 
 
Weld-on. If the sight glass will be bonded on, think about the adhering to:
 
What will be the temperature level and stress in the vessel? View glasses are ranked for optimal temperature level and stress.
 
If the sight glass is most likely to be bonded into location, the vessel into which it will be bonded most likely hasn't already been produced yet. The dimension of the opening for the sight glass must be defined previously the vessel is made.
 
Is the storage container ASME? If so make certain to just utilize ASME wetted components.
 
Bolt-on. When your sight glass is installed to an current flange, remember the adhering to:
 
Bolt-on view glasses have current screw openings. Make certain to allow the sight glass distributor recognize the dimension of the flange to which the sight glass will be linked to ensure that the screw openings pair up.
 
There are stress constraints depending upon the sort of flange utilized. Bolt-on view glasses are normally defined as 1) excellent to 15 pounds. psi or 2) for anything over 15 pounds. psi. Dimensions must adhere to ANSI spec standards and products must adhere to ASME requirements.
 
Clamp-on. The pharmaceutical sector utilizes clamp-on view glasses so that elements can be conveniently taken apart for cleansing.
 
 
PRODUCT CONTACT CONCERNS
 
Will the sight glass enter into get in touch with with destructive procedure media? Will it be based on sanitize in position/tidy in position procedures? Will it be subjected to thermal cycles or severe warmth? Your L.J. Celebrity professional can direct you to the details glass, gaskets, cellular linings, and guards that you will require.
 
 
Since we have strolled via the procedure and took a further check out what should be thought about in selecting your sight glass if you still have concerns our sales group mores than happy to help you so you can start to see more plainly.

I need some help undoing the vandalism to the main page and discussion. Thanks --PJK (talk) 05:14, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Today I've upgraded MediaWiki to 1.31. It has quite a few new features, you can see here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.31 Also looking into changing the theme a bit to something more modern. If you guys have any ideas, post them here. Also, on the homepage I see the "Template:NUMBEROFVIEWS" isn't showing correctly, please resolve that. --PJK (talk) 10:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

It looks like the "Template:NUMBEROFVIEWS" has been deleted from MediaWiki 3 years ago. See [1] and [2]. I suggest using "... and contibute to our 56,041 edits." with template {{NUMBEROFEDITS}}. Regards, --Martinss (talk) 21:09, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
Moreover, this version of the main page isn't showing correctly on my (wide) screen [3]. I just edited it (using the more modern version I made a while ago). Undo if you think it's necessary. Regards, --Martinss (talk) 21:09, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Protected this page

Since the main page is the most frequently visited page on this wiki and thus, any vandalism, even if not long-lasting, can cause a lot of harm, I have decided to protect this page to prevent this scenario.

If you have suggestions for a better main page, you can perform the edits on a sub-page of your account (for example User:YourUsername/Main Page) and then, when you're done, create a new topic on this talk page to show that you would like to change the main page. You should also list what you've changed and why you think that it improves on the current main page. The main page will be replaced with your page only if an admin agrees. Adding a new section and giving reasons does not guarantee that your changes will be accepted. - RedstoneTim (talk) 13:27, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism

Several aricles has been deleted yesterday by User:Dsiuth_swaed (vandalism). Could someone restore them ? Here are the concerned pages : Cross, Category:Big Cube methods, 3x3x3 Blindfolded, SpeedSolving.com Wiki, Alexander Lau, Gilles Roux, Gans, US Nationals and Open 2008 --Martinss (talk) 11:52, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Working on it, though when I go back to Restore the deletion log I'm getting "Some or all of the undeletion failed: Invalid or missing revision.
You may have a bad link, or the revision may have been restored or removed from the archive."
Annoying. Looking into it now. --PJK (talk) 14:46, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
I found some old revisions in the Wayback Machine and copy them here: Gilles Roux/old revision, Cross/old_revision. Also, it seems that registred users cannot edit the "broken" pages (Cross, SpeedSolving.com Wiki, Alexander Lau, Gilles Roux, US Nationals and Open 2008) (getting "edits conflict"). --Martinss (talk) 21:33, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
I was thinking that route worse case, but want to figure out why I'm having this issue. 2 questions you may know the answer to: 1) how can we prevent this issue from happening again? and 2) Registered users can't edit "broken" pages, what do I need to do to solve this? I've searched and don't see any options to adjust this. I know the basics of Mediawiki but otherwise new to it. --PJK (talk) 03:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
I don't know many things about wikis too but I found this : according to Mediawiki website, this could be Database inconsistencies (maybe due to errors during Mediawiki update). There are a script to solve this (FindAnomalies.php). Someone else had a similar problem after update (here) and the given solution is PopulateRevisionSha1.php. I can't really help more... --Martinss (talk) 15:53, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
I've tried those with no luck, still working at it. Have it noted, I'm away for the coming couple weeks but will try further in when I'm back. I'll paste the latest revision I see for the deleted pages on the discussion of the page. Nice homepage! --PJK (talk) 09:26, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Better Homepage?

Having a look at another puzzle wiki, the homepage has a list of facts and a bit easier navigation for new people to the site. I like the layout and format. Should we modify this homepage to be a bit more inviting or leave it as is? --PJK (talk) 08:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

I (just) started something : User:Martinss/Better main page. Is that the kind of things you think of ? --Martinss (talk) 21:36, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
That looks better I think, though on mobile the alignment is a bit off. Looking good - we just need to focus on making it responsive. --PJK (talk) 03:22, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
On the desktop version of the homepage the most viewed icons are left aligned. You think it would be better centered? --PJK (talk) 09:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
The homepage looks pretty good, perhaps we should have a section at the top to introduce people to speedcubing first? Things like How to Solve a Cube, Intro to Speedcubing, How to Compete, How to Practice, BLD Tutorial, etc. What do you think? --PJK (talk) 11:55, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Update Home Page?

Looking through the home page, I noticed a couple things:

  • There's only a few featured articles, and since they update everyday, they loop very often
    • Also, side note on this subject, Feliks' article is featured, and it really bugs me that it says "Today's featured article is the Feliks Zemdegs." lol
  • The featured pictures are outdated, with a couple of them being of Zanchis or Maru cubes. Perhaps newer cubes would be better?
  • Under Solving Variations, Feet solving is listed. While obviously the page itself should stay, should we maybe remove it from the main page since there's no WF events in the WCA anymore?
  • The Cubing methods and substeps infobox can be kind of controversial, by including some methods but not others. I haven't seen anyone with a problem with this though, so this may be an invalid point
  • The Competitive Cubing infobox lists a Sub-15 help page, why does it list specifically sub-15 but no other similar pages?
    • This is more on the topic of the Sub-15 page, but it lists CFOP(labeled Fridrich) only, which is controversial. The topic of road to sub-15 itself is also controversial, as people think certain tasks(i.e: Full PLL) should be focused on at different times.
  • A couple of the "Utilities" are outdated, with the main one being speedcubing.org (hasn't been updated in 8 years)

That's mostly all, and I'd like to think what others viewpoints are on these points, because I defiantly don't think it would be right for me(or any one person) to just change all these things to their liking. ProStar (talk) 17:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
