Abstract: According to the invention, a measurement chain (20, 22, 40) is used which supplies a result relating to the said quantity, an iterative mathematical simulation is performed taking into account the random variable character of the phenomenon measured, by distinguishing the evolution of single, double, triple events, etc., in the electronic processing means (40) of the chain, which is optimised to this end. During the simulation an approximate result is determined relating to the quantity and the result of the simulation is compared to the result of the measurement. Application to the measurement of the volume activity of radio-active isotopes present in a fluid in circulation.

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement to a method of producing crude argon directly from the cold box of a cryogenic air separation unit. The improvement is the production of crude argon containing greatly decreased concentrations of oxygen, i.e. <0.5% oxygen, without any loss in recovery. The improvement is accomplished by using an effective number of theoretical stages in the side arm column (135) so as to produce the desired argon product purity without sacrificing argon recovery; feeding crude liquid oxygen (129) from the bottom of the high pressure column (107) to the reboiler condenser (133) located in the top of the argon side arm column (135) at a rate in the range from about 1.04 to about 1.36 times the theoretical minimum flow of crude liquid oxygen necessary to completely vaporize that minimum flow of crude liquid oxygen to its dew point; and effectuating the intimate contact between the vapor and liquid phases in the argon side arm column (135) by a combination of conventional sieve trays and low pressure drop, structured packings so that the pressure drop across this combination results in a pressure at the top of the argon side arm column (135) such that the flow of crude liquid oxygen to the reboiler/condenser (133) located in the top of the side arm column can be maintained in the appropriate range. Furthermore, the improvement is accomplished without an energy penalty in the cryogenic air separation unit.

Abstract: The broaching tool, preferably a pull broach, has a basic body (26) which is provided with a coating (28). The coating (28) consists of a backing (40) with diamond grains (42) embedded therein. The outer surface (24) of the basic body (26) rises from its front end (34) in the pulling direction (20) in the direction of its rear end (36). The diamond grains (42) mounted thereon, essentially having a uniform size, are ground parallel to a surface (38) lying in the pulling direction (20). A ground surface constantly increasing from the front end (34) in the direction of the rear end (36) is thereby obtained. This causes the front diamond grains ground to a lesser extent to remove more of the workpiece surface to be machined, whereas the following diamond grains ground to a greater extent exert a finishing action. The result is an especially fine surface with low roughness height. <IMAGE>
