Riser Classifications There are three main classifications of risers, which are; flexible, rigid(steel catenary risers) and hybrid risers. With rigid and flexible risers as the two main classes, while hybrid risers are a combination of both the flexible and rigid risers. Flexible Risers In the 1960s, the Institut Français du Pétrole tried to develop
Justin Taylor Mrs.Lewis Tungsten Title of Your Report Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic number 74. The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tung sten, which directly translates to heavy stone. Its name in Swedish is volfram, however, in order to distinguish it from scheelite, which in Swedish is alternatively named tungsten. A hard, rare metal under standard conditions when uncombined, tungsten is found naturally on Earth only in chemical
ArcelorMittal is a steel and mining company with a global presence in more than 60 countries. It is a leader in major global carbon steel markets such as automotive, construction, and household appliances to name a few. It is the combination of Arcelor and Mittal Steel, the latter being the origin of the present company. Mr. Lakshmi N.

Bessemer developed similar processes for using blast furnace cast iron to make steel in Kentucky and England, respectively. Due to superior financial backing, Henry Bessemer was able to produce the device, named the Bessemer converter, first. The apparatus uses pressurized air to burn the impurities out of molten pig iron. The proper amount of carbon was then added back into the pure iron. This technology drove the price of steel down to just thirty dollars per ton and made batches of between five and
[1] CFRP-Confined rectangular RC columns. I: Experimental Investigation [2] CFRP-Confined Rectangular RC Columns. II: Cyclic Axial Compression Stress-Strain Model Abstract 1: A slowly growing number of studies have concentrated too much on investigating, but less on modelling the cyclic axial stress-strain response of concrete columns (RC) confined with fiber-reinforced polymer FRP sheets. Since the early 1990s, the largest amount of research, including both experimental and analytical studies, has
Metalloids Gather, process, analyse and present information from secondary sources on the range of alloys produced and the reasons for the production and use of these alloys Steel, Brass Solder Alloys are made up of two different chemical elements, most of which are metal. There are some non metal alloys components such as the various forms Hydroxides and Carbonates. The most important metallic component of an alloy is called a main metal, parent metal and the base metal. The other component of an

It is used in almost every metal object that we Americans use on a daily basis, and it would be almost impossible to find one without it. Not only that, but steel is also used in many other things throughout America that would not be possible without it. The development of steel was a revolutionary pivotal point in the history of the United States, because it is involved in the creation of steel appliances
