  STEP #1: Check the belts   • When should you check the belt tension of the  slurry pumps ? If your slurry pumps are belt driven please check the tension once quarterly at a minimum. Belts that are too tight will cause damage to the light series motor bearing and once that bearing fails then the thrust bearing will start to fail in the pump. Belts ran too loose will cause poor performance and slippage causing damage to the sheaves.     • How to tell if the belts are loose on slurry pumps? An experienced ear can tell if the belts are too loose. They will be making a flapping sound. Belts that are too tight could cause the motor to be pulling high amps or bearing temperatures to increase before you start to notice bearing failure.   STEP #2: Check the oil   • When should you change the oil of your pump? If your pump is on oil lubrication please check periodically to make sure no water or product is present in the oil. If your sealing device is ok, chang...

  Use of Foil, Parchment, Wax Paper and Freezer Paper You may know that foil is silver, freezer paper, parchment paper and   wax paper  are paper, but does that's all you know about them? These four kitchen staples have a variety of uses and can make cooking much easier. Here are the differences and tips on how to use them. Wax paper vs. parchment paper Food grade wax paper and  parchment paper  are both coated papers. The difference is in their coating. Parchment paper - available in bleached and unbleached - is coated with silicone, while wax paper is coated with, you guessed it, wax. Soy or paraffin wax, to be exact. Their coatings give them different uses. Parchment paper's silicone coating makes it heat-resistant and non-stick. Use this paper wonder to line your baking sheet with food that won't stick to it. The best use for wax paper is to line countertops and tables before spreading out pie crusts or kneading bread to prevent staining. Wax paper can also ...

    The function of the  Auto Suspension Coil Spring   is to support the vehicle at the desired height, maintain the proper positioning angle and absorb road shocks transmitted through the tires and shock absorbers. Constant flexing in normal service can gradually weaken the suspension system, allowing the car to sag. Once this sag becomes apparent, the entire car suffers. The steering components are forced out of position, thereby changing the geometry of the steering linkage. The loss of the original coil spring can only be fully recovered by installing a new coil spring. This will return the vehicle to the correct height. Most steering linkages systems are designed so that the tie rod assemblies connect to the center link or rack at some angle. On these vehicles, with the steering linkage in front of the spindle, a sagging suspension will force the tie rod out-ward and cause a “toe out” condition . f the linkage is positioned behind the spindle on these vehicles, ...

  You should never neglect your body care and we recommend using a body lotion.   Many women tend to follow a multi-step facial skincare routine, however, the opposite is true for our bodies, which we often neglect - this leads to problems such as dryness, cellulite and even wrinkles, and we should pay more attention to  body care .     Body Lotion Why and how does dry skin happen? There are a range of reasons why your skin may be prone to dryness.   In the winter.  Your skin is especially prone to dryness in the winter months. The cooler months - and the cold air and wind that come with them - can dry out your skin. In addition, enjoying hot showers and/or heaters can also cause dry skin. That's because they remove moisture from your skin, making it dry and saggy.   In the summer.  It's not just the cold that can dry out your skin. Summer often brings some unwanted dryness too! High temperatures, UV rays and frequent showers can dry out your...

  When people think of   hand sanitizer , they usually think of the standard gel they see in the doctor's office, the teacher's classroom, or the neighborhood grocery shop. It's what they often see in public places and therefore what they are most familiar with.   But gel isn't the only form. There are liquids, foams, wipes, and sprays, and each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages when it comes to PPE equipment. The two most common types of hand sanitizer are gels and liquids, but how do they differ? Is there a situation or application where one is preferable to the other?   Gel hand sanitizers vs liquid hand sanitizers A  gel hand sanitizer  is a hand sanitizer with a thicker, almost jelly-like consistency - hence the name gel. Liquid hand sanitizers, on the other hand, are much closer to the consistency of water. Due to the alcohol content and the unique production methods of the manufacturing companies, you may find some bubbles in both antib...

    Different terms used for  arresters  are sometimes confusing even professional engineers and electricians use them interchangeably. Now let’s discuss all these arresters in details.   Table of Contents   What is a Surge Arrester? What is a Lightning Arrester? Main Differences between Surge Arrester and Lightning Arrester Should You Use Surge Arresters or Lightning Arresters?   Surge Arrester   1. The  surge arrester  will be installed nearer to the equipment to be protected and the transmission tower line enter in to the substation point. 2. It protects against high voltage transient (example: lightning strike on the transmission conductor) typically, it is indirect protection of lightning strikes. 3. It should be installed each phase of the circuit. i.e if you have 2 parallel switch yard then you should install 6 number of surge arrester (first run 3 phase and second run 3 phase) . Lightning arresters   1. The lighting arrester...

  Many business operations rely on a variety of tools to perform daily operations. Some use heavy mechanical tools or manufacturing equipment. Others rely on a variety of tools to keep their facilities clean.   Not all tools offer non-sparking options, but if your business deals with the inherent fire hazards associated with flammable, combustible, or explosive materials on-site, you may be interested in non-sparking tools that reduce risk and increase operational safety. In fact, you may be required by law to use  non-sparking tools  whenever possible.  242 Non-Sparking Cutting Shears Naturally, you want to ensure the safest working environment for your employees and, in some cases, for the public. For business owners who handle hazardous materials, this is as much a legal issue as it is an ethical one.   The question is: How do you know when you should use non-sparking tools? Here are some situations where the  use of non-sparking tools  is reco...
