Local Contracts for Future Construction Up 18% in First Quarter
Monday, May 13, 2013
The latest figures from McGraw-Hill Construction show San Diego County 18 percent ahead of a year ago for construction projects in the pipeline.
For the first quarter, the data provider noted, local contracts for future construction were up 32 percent on the nonresidential side, at just over $528 million, while residential projects were down 5 percent, to just under $234 million.
The nonresidential category includes new construction and renovations related to commercial, manufacturing, educational, religious, recreational and hotel properties. The residential category includes projects related to single-family homes and apartments.
San Diego is generally faring better than the state so far in 2013, with California contracts for future construction down 15 percent year-to-date. Residential projects are up 35 percent statewide, while nonresidential construction is down 35 percent, and non-building projects, such as those geared to roads and bridges, are down 27 percent.
While their momentum slowed in the first quarter, San Diego's residential projects have generally staged a post-recession comeback over the past year. In the month of March, for instance, local contracts for future home and apartment projects were up 24 percent from a year ago, and building projects overall were up 39 percent from March 2012, according to McGraw-Hill.

Slow Going for Life Science Tenant Activity: Things may be crackling locally when it comes to venture capital funding, research activity and building renovations in the local life sciences community, but tenant leasing trends have been less than stellar so far in 2013.
That's among conclusions in a recent first-quarter life-science real estate report, issued by the brokerage firm Cassidy Turley San Diego. The San Diego life-science market experienced net negative absorption — more space being placed on the market than filled — of 122,000 square feet, researchers reported.
The slow quarter followed a 2012 that Cassidy Turley described as a "renaissance" period, which included major capital improvements by two of the three big real estate investment trusts with local life-science holdings. Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc. of Pasadena in the past year completed eight local building improvements totaling 848,000 square feet, and San Diego-based BioMed Realty Trust Inc. completed or finalized plans for renovation and development projects totaling more than 500,000 square feet.
The first quarter was "uncharacteristically slow" for tenant leasing activity, with a total of 169,000 square feet signed during the period, and only a third of that consisted of new leases rather than renewals. The largest new lease of the first quarter was Wellspring Biosciences' transaction involving a 17,000-square-foot space owned by Alexandria in Torrey Pines.

Homemade Fruit Yogurt
By Merrill Stubbs
Makes about 6 cups Yogurt:
- 9 cups (40 ounces) organic whole milk
- 1 tablespoon yogurt starter or 1/2 cup yogurt with active live cultures
- Fruit puree (recipe below)
- Maple syrup to taste
- Heat the milk gently in a large, heavy saucepan until it starts to steam. Remove the pan from the heat and let the milk cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the starter or yogurt and about a 1/4 cup of the lukewarm milk until smooth. Whisk this into the saucepan with the rest of the milk.
- Transfer the milk to a measuring cup or bowl with a spout and pour carefully into seven 7-ounce yogurt jars (make sure these are clean and dry). Arrange the jars, without their lids, in the base of the yogurt maker and cover the base with the clear plastic lid. Plug in the yogurt maker and set the timer for 7 to 8 hours, depending on how firm you like your yogurt.
- When the yogurt is set, screw the lids onto the jars and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours.
- Once the yogurt is chilled, stir a few spoonfuls of the fruit puree and a bit of maple syrup (taste as you go) into each pot of yogurt.
Fruit Puree:
- 2 cups ripe fruit (berries, chopped peaches or pears, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
Combine the fruit and sugar in a small heavy saucepan and add 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover and lower the heat until just simmering. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the fruit starts to soften and release its juices. Mash the fruit and strain it through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside to cool and then cover and refrigerate.

Revision as of 07:03, 2 January 2009
If you ask a question on IRC, and get an answer, feel free to add it and the answer to the Unsorted section of the FAQ. If not you may get lucky by adding it to the unanswered questions section below.
Q: What is the target audience of this FAQ?
A: Well considering that most of these questions were asked on #email@example.com, I would say visitors to #android. However, it's really for anyone who has serious technical interest in the Android platform.
Q: How do I get my questions about Android answered?
A: There is a list of mailing lists here: http://source.android.com/discuss Also you can try IRC (#firstname.lastname@example.com) Also the xda-developers mailing list has a lot of Android discussion.
A: #android and #android-dev (Both on irc.freenode.net). Also Jay Freeman (saurik) is hosting: #firstname.lastname@example.com
Q: What is infobot?
A: An IRC bot that collects a lot of "interesting", and occasionally (rarely) useful information. Be aware, infobot sits on many IRC channels... and logs: http://ibot.rikers.org/%23android/ (Update: infobot has been banned from #android.)
Q: Is this the canonical FAQ regarding Android?
A: Absolutely not. Check the following:

- http://code.google.com/android/kb/general.html
- http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html

- http://androidcommunity.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4
Q: Can I use the Android "bugdroid" image on my site?
A: Yes, the "bugdroid" seems to be considered creative commons, although the font used in the Android logo is trademarked and off limits. (not the font on the G1, the futuristic font used to create the word "Android" on many of the logos.
Q: Is there an Android development roadmap?
A: Yes. You can find it here: http://source.android.com/roadmap
Q: Where can I report bugs?
A: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Q: Why does Android use the a GPL Linux kernel, but libraries and user space apps that are licensed more liberal open source/free software licenses?
A: To put it simply - the Linux kernel has wide hardware and industry support, and keeping GPL code in the kernel as much as possible makes a pretty clear line between GPLed stuff and unencumbered stuff, but vendors are somewhat scared of the GPL, so it is avoided as much as possible outside the kernel. It seems that currently bluez is about the only userspace code in android which is GPLed. Official reasons for why to use a Linux kernel from a Google IO preso:
- Great memory and process management
- Permissions-based security model
- Proven driver model
- Support for shared libraries
- It's already open source!
Q: Why is the VM called Dalvik?
A: Apparently the author has ancestors from Dalvik, Iceland. (Or so the story goes).
Application Development
Q: Are there any videos for developers?
A: See http://www.youtube.com/user/androiddevelopers
Q: Where can I get the SDK?
A: http://code.google.com/android/download.html
Q: Are there any books that cover Android development?
A: Yes there is currently a number of books available. Here is a link to an Amazon list: http://www.amazon.com/Android-Programming-Books/lm/R3IDV45VDVAY3M
- "Unlocking Android: A Developer's Guide" http://manning.com/ableson/
- "Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform" http://www.pragprog.com/titles/eband/hello-android
- "The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development (Paperback)"
- "Android Essentials (Firstpress) (Paperback)"
- "Android A Programmers Guide (Paperback)"
Q: Are there any open source examples of OpenGL apps for Android?
A: Yes. Andy Ross put together a GPL'd native code OpenGL demo and performance rig. There's a makefile build system and a perl wrapper around the compiler. Probably worth looking at if you need sample code: http://plausible.org/andy/Game1.tar.gz
Q: Is Python available for Android?
A: There is no supported way to run Python on Android.
Jython lets you run Python inside the JVM. Jythonroid is a port of Jython to run inside Android's Dalvik JVM, so in theory, you could write Android applications in Python that could interact with Android's APIs.
Damon Kohler also has patches for cross-compiling Python 2.4. It will, however, run as a native application (without access to Android's APIs), so most scripts written will have limited use. Most interesting things will also require a rooted phone.
Q: How do I switch orientation in the emulator?
A: Numpad 7 will do it.
Q: Does Android support writing native applications?
A: It depends on what you mean by support. Currently, there is no "supported" method of writing native apps. However, it is possible. (see links below). That said, there is a tentative long term plan by the Android development team to provide an NDK (native Development Kit) for those edge cases where Java apps do not make sense.

Q: How can I control the keyboard backlight?
A: The keyboard backlight can be controlled via /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness It appears that it's a simple on-off control (echoing '0' turns it off, echoing '1' or higher turns it on). For some reason, the default system backlight control stuff seems to set this to "83", but I don't know why. I can't seem to see any difference between 83 and any other number. The file is readable by anyone, but only writable by root, so you'll need root access to the phone to manipulate it this way.
Q: Can I write my own widgets?
A: Currently no. The problem is that right now the widgets API effectively requires root access, so the Android team is going to have to rewrite the whole widgets implementation to release it publicly. This is supposedly in progress.
Q: Is there a web interface to the Android market?
A: Yes. There are two sites:
- The official site is here: http://android.com/market (This is rather limited)
- Jay Freeman (saurik) has written the following web application that gives full access to the Market from any browser: http://www.cyrket.com/ (IE: You can access market comments, ratings and what not).
Q: Is there a way to see the marketplace comments on the web (without a phone)?
A: Not via the official site, however Jay Freeman (saurik) has created a website that provides the full info on all market apps: http://www.cyrket.com/
Q: Why does the Market take up 14 MB on the G1?
A: Bug caching code needs cleanup. Android team is aware, and plans to fix.
Q: When will I be able to buy apps from the Market?
A: According to this CNET article, developers will be able to charge for applicaitons starting "early in the first quarter 2009". http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10072682-94.html
Q: What determines the category ("Lifestyle", "Entertainment") that an app is filed under? Does the developer get to pick?
A: The developer selects the catagory upon upload.
Q: Do the market and openmarket.com have anything in common?
A: Not at all.
Q: Are there any IRC clients?
A: Check out ircbeta.apk Source and downloads here: http://code.google.com/p/androidirc/ http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=5959.0
Q: Are there any decent ssh clients?
A: ConnectBot rocks. It is available in the market. If you want to run a prerelease version or play with the source check here: http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/
Q: Any reason K-9 is a fork instead of contributing back to the core email app?
A: Long story. Short version is, we're trying.
Q: The Adobe flash player still hasn't come out yet right?
A: Nope. It is unclear whether or not there ever will be a Flash player, but signs are promising: http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/17/finally-proper-banner-ads-for-android-flash-demoed-on-a-g1/ Demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWyLr1M0rMM&NR=1
Q: Is there a PDF reader for Android?
A: Yes. Check out http://www.android-portal.com/2008/11/07/multireader-free-word-viewer-pdf-reader-for-android/
Q: Is there an easy way to disable gmail checking?
A: It's in setting, see settings -> data synchronization.
Q: Is there a way to make a shortcut to disabling Gmail sync?
A: Using anycut you can make a link to the sync settings.
Q: Is there a Mobipocket eBook reader for Android?
A: No. According to this offical Mobipocket forum thread, it seems there are no plans for one to be released. http://www.mobipocket.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13156&sid=494a2df12b48a1e8fdca8ae0e7bfb752 (Not sure it will help, but it can't hurt to add your support to the thread). Alternatively, the FBReader folks are working on an Android app called FBReaderJ, which at the moment does not support mobipocket, but they plan to have mobipocket support some time in Q12008. (No DRM support though)
Devices: Developer Devices
Q: What is this I heard about an Android Developer Device?
A: It has been said (by infobot) that devphones is a phone with magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curtain of lava. very expensive to ship outside the US, or sporting this: http://tinyurl.com/54sxg2, or ...
Q: What is the difference between the G1 and the ADP1 (Android Dev Phone 1)?
A: The differences are cosmetic, radio lock configuration, and bootloader. Cosmetic differences consist of the removal of T-Mobile branding and a new etched back design http://android.brightstarcorp.com/images/placeholders/dev3.jpg. In addition the firmware that comes standard on the ADP1 is missing some of the customization Google and T-Mobile added to the G1. See the following link for details: http://www.gotontheinter.net/content/android-developer-phone-1 (However, this isn't a major issue, as the ADP1 can be flashed with any firmware, including the official G1 firmware).
Q: Why is shipping so expensive to my country for the Android Developer Phone 1?
A: Quoting from help page on ordering side: "For Orders shipping outside the US, shipping pricing includes cost of shipping service and the applicable customs, duties, import and country specific other fees."
Q: I was wondering if there are physical stores you can walk into and buy one of those phones?
A: Nope, sorry. You can only order it online.
Q: Will the Android Developer Phone 1 work on AT&T's network?
A: Yes, however, like the T-Mobile G1, it is not compatible with AT&T's 3G network. (You will be limited to EDGE speeds).
Q: What's this I hear about being able to turn a T-Mobile G1 into an Android Developer Phone?
A: Excluding cosmetic differences, the two differences are the radio lock and the enhanced bootloader. The radio lock can be removed with a simple request to T-Mobile. That only leaves the bootloader as the major difference. There currently is a bootloader floating in the wild, that seems to be very similar to what is expected to be running on the ADP1 (Android Dev Phone 1). The catch is you can only install this boot loader if you are one of the lucky few that has a "rooted" G1. This means that you are out of luck if you are running a stock version of RC30+. See http://www.gotontheinter.net/node/7 for details.
Q: How do I update the ADP1/G1(rooted) spash image?
A: In short if you have the Engineering bootloader installed you can use the fastboot utility to update the boot image. See this link for detailed instructions: http://www.ryebrye.com/files/splashimage.sh
Devices: T-Mobile G1
Q: Where can I download a copy of the G1 manual?
A: http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm30235.pdf
Q: Has anyone been able to get the G1 to do USB Host mode?
A: Short answer: No. Long answer: The chipset supports OTG so it is theoretically possible, but I'm not sure if the G1 hardware would need to be modified. Also, we have no OTG support in the USB driver, and none of the higher level code in android supports host side USB.
Q: Does the G1 have a compass in it, i thought it did.. but I couldn't figure out how to launch it?
A: Yes, it has a built in digital compass. You will need to install an application that calls compass's API in order to actually use it. Search the Market for "compass" to find these applications.
Q: I've heard that magnetic flaps on cell phone cases mess up the G1's compass. Is this True?
A: Short answer, it does cause short term issues with compass, long term is unknown. Better safe than sorry. See here for more details: http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=Android3&message.id=11062
Q: What is the egl library on the G1?
A: libhgl.so (Currently only used by apps using opengl at the moment (since the current version doesn't do multiple context support))
Q: What processor does the G1 use?
A: The Qualcomm MSM7201A RISC Chipset, which has a ARM1136EJ-S ARM Core: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7201a http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2008/080923_T-Mobile_G1_to_Run_on_Qualcomms_Advanced_Dual-Core_Chipset.html (There is also a ARM926 core included).
Q: BTW, are other HTC's power adapters working on the G1?
A: Any USB power adapter should work.
Q: Can I get an adapter that lets me listen to the G1, while still charging it?
A: Google for: "3 in 1 USB 11 pin Adapter for HTC TOUCH MOGUL PPC6800"
Q: What is the latest version of the G1 firmware?
A: See http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates
Q: Is the G1 supposed to fall back to 2G if 3G is not available?
A: Yes it will fall back to EDGE if 3G is not available? The current implementation seems a bit buggy, however.
Q: Not having root sucks. Any progress on a fix?
A: Yes. If you are running a G1 with rc29 or lower, you can use an exploit. See: Rooting Android. If you are running RC30 (US) or above see Root For RC30 and if you are on RC8 (UK) or above see Root for RC8
Q: Whats the price for the G1 for developers?
A: Same as for anyone else. You may want to investigate the Android Developer Phone 1 instead.
Q: Does the T-Mobile G1 support VOIP?
A: No, and it probably never officially will. From an interview with the CEO of T-Mobile: "When I talked to Cole Brodman, the CTO of T-Mobile, after the event about what would stop something like Skype from designing a program that could run on the phone, negating the need for a massive voice plan, he said he had "worked with Google" to make sure Android couldn't run VOIP." http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/09/three-years-and.html
Q: How do I install an ssh daemon on the G1?
A: You want to take a look at installing dropbear. See the following links for details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442754 - Dropbear http://www.gotontheinter.net/node/2
Q: How can I unlock my G1?
A: http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/ or call T-Mobile
Q: Is it possible to bypass the Gmail signin on G1 when activating the G1?
A: Yes. Please see the following thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436767&highlight=activation
Q: Are there any G1 car mounts available?
A: Yes, search the following site: http://www.brodit.com/
Q: Are there any extended batteries available for the G1?
A: Please not the base battery that the G1 ships with is a 1150mAH battery. Extended batteries are still far and few between, but these are the batteries we could find info on:
- 1400 mAH (standard door): http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BASI14TMG1
- 1600mAH (????) There is an HTC TyTN battery being floated around as G1 compatible, but a definitive answer has yet to be determined as to whether or not it is G1 compatible. (BC® 1600 mAh Compatible Slim Extended Battery For T-Mobile G1)
- 2200mAH (needs replacement battery door) Seems only available in the UK at this point.
- 2400mAH (needs replacement battery door) http://www.boxwave.com/products/highcapacitybattery/electraspan-high-capacity-extended-battery-t-mobile-g1_3283.htm
Q: Does G1 or Android support multitouch?
A: Some clever experimentation by RyeBrye seems to prove that the G1 hardware does support multitouch, but the software does not. Please see the following video for more details: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2008/11/22/g1-multitouch-proof-of-concept-video/
Q: When we press side keys for the volume, does it also make respective changes in volume for call and music? If not, how does it work?
A: Sadly the official G1 manual only states: "While receiving incoming call, press either (+) or (-) to silence the ringer." As best as I can tell, the default behavior for the volume keys is to change the ringer volume. Apparently, this can by overriden by the currently running application. e.g. - While on a call, the volume keys change the call volume. While listening to Music, the volume keys change the playback volume. While running connectbot the volume keys change the font size.
A: Yes, check this wiki page: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=G1_keyboard_and_button_shortcuts
Q: Is it possible to use the G1 for internet access for my PC/laptop? (IE: Is tethering supported?
A: Only if you have a rooted device, then Bluetooth/USB are supported, but WiFi currently is not.

- Bluetooth tethering (requires root): http://www.gotontheinter.net/content/second-g1-story-proper-bluetooth-tethering-how-short
Q: What multimedia (audo/video) codecs does the G1 support?
A: The following codecs are supported:
- Audio: MP3, AAC, AAC +, WMA, WAV, MIDI, REAL AUDIO, OGG
- Video: H.264, 3GPP, MPEG4, and Codec 3GP
Q: How do you turn off the GPS/3g network device to save battery life?
A: In the settings, accessible by pressing menu on the home screen
Q: Why doesn't G1 include the ability to record video?
A: This feature wasn't ready in time for initial ship. It should be added in a later OTA release.

A: Need confirmation: Currently there are a number of closed source drivers that are not included. Someone with access to the source to these drivers will have to compile them with the 2.6.27 kernel that cupcake includes. Chances are that until there is an official OTA release for the G1 that is based on the changes in cupcake it will be very difficult to get it running on the G1/ADP1. These drivers include: The Qualcomm camera driver, frontend HW accel codec, h264, libhgl.
- latest: libaudio for msm7k is not compiling, should be fixed soon at which point we should be able to get a base Dream build going.
Q: Is there any documentation available for the RIL (Radio Interface Layer)?
See android/hardware/ril/include/telephony/ril.h for more details of RIL functions which needs to be implemented. Also you can get a reference implementation in android/hardware/ril/reference-ril/. That's probably the closest you will find to "documentation".
Q: How do I leave the bootloader?
Q: What is fastboot?
A: A reflash protocol for android devices, or source code at http://tinyurl.com/57nusq, or cheat sheet at http://www.gotontheinter.net/fastboot To get a fastboot binary that you can run on your Mac or Linux PC, follow the directions for building Android here: http://source.android.com/download (It will take you a long time to download the source and build the Android tree). Please note the binary will be installed to ./mydroid/out/host/darwin-x86/bin/fastboot
Q: What OSes does fastboot support?
A: Currently Linux and Mac OS X. Work is underway to release a Windows binary.
Q: What is RGB565?
A: The file format for splash screens. You probably want to create a 320x480 image. It is unsupported by any other image software, so the only way to create one is to start with a raw rgb888 file (8-bit raw, the default format in gimp or photoshop when saving as "raw image") and run it through rgb2565. Alternatively, you can save as a png and then run this script by RyeBrye on it (assumes you have working ImageMagick as well as a compiled version of rgb2565 in your path.) If you run rgb2565 with no flags, it will create an uncompressed rgb565 file which should be exactly 307200 bytes. This file can be used for replacing the initial screen you see when you start up the phone, which is done by flashing it via fastboot (details here). If, instead, you specify the -rle flag, rgb2565 will compress the image using a simple RLE algorithm. This file can be placed in the root of your boot image and named initlogo.rle, and it will show up after the initial boot screen but before the animated android screen (details here). Do not attempt to use rle compressed files to flash the initial boot screen. See http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/build.git;a=tree;f=tools/rgb2565 to look at source.
Q: What filesystems does G1/Android natively support?
A: YAFFS, vFat (FAT32)
Q: Does android have any native video codecs?
A: Hardware acceleration is available for h264 at certain bitrates. (link needed with specs)
Q: So if i put the update.zip on the sd, it will automatically load that?
A: Nope. You have to tell it to load it manually (see Forcing OTA Updates)
Q: How do I install Debian on my phone?
A: http://www.saurik.com/id/10
Q: Is it possible to make Native applications for Android?
A: Yes. See the following links:

Q: Where can I find a list of code submissions that have not been claimed?
A: http://review.source.android.com/all_unclaimed
Q: How do I access the real time device logs?
A: run "adb logcat".
Q: Is there a way to view the debug logs on the device itself? (logcat logs)
A: Yes. Check out logcat.apk http://code.google.com/p/android-random/
Q: How do I clear my notification bar?
A: Pull down the notification bar using a top to bottom finger swipe (like a windows shade), then hit the clear notifications soft button.
Q: What browser does Android ship with?
A: It's a browser based on the open source Webkit engine, which is the same engine used by Apple's Safari browser.
Q: Hey I want to get an Android shirt. Where can I get one?
A: http://www.cafepress.com/djtachyonqr
Q: How do I save browser downloads to the SD Card?
A: Download it, the only place you can save downloads is the SD Card.
Q: Is the UI based on X-Windows?
A: No
Q: Are there any open source Gtalk clients?
A: Yes. See: http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/totally-unofficial-android-gtalk-client-sendreceive-xmpp-messages/
Q: Does Android support Japanese input?
A: It seems that it does. Check the following link for details. http://www.adamrocker.com/blog/236/simeji_android_japanese_input.html
Q: What is an SPL?
A: Secondary Program Loader, typically, a second stage bootloader. Not a term actually used by Qualcomm for msm7k has a more complex boot path involving both CPUs. Initial/secondary program loader is usually in reference to nand/onenand boot setups where you have a very small initial bootloader (1k to 16k typical), that is just enough to load a much larger secondary bootloader. Often there is something that runs first, in-rom, on-die (this is true of omap and msm chips for example) that is responsible for getting the IPL loaded.

Q: Is there any chance UMA will ever be on the G1?
Q: Is there some kind of l10n overview?
Q: Can the G1 do wifi monitor mode? (for wardriving)
A: Android Market application Wifiscan will scan for access points and tag them with the built in gps. Information is saved to a kml file for later use.
Q: how does the UI operate?
Q: How do the 3D drivers work?
Q: It looks like the only part you need root for is the "flash_image" command, right? (eg to add the modified recovery, this is the only reason you need root to do it)

Industrial Process Piping Design Contractor | Case Studies
A Case Study in Industrial Process Piping Design
Stainless steel pipe is the desired material for process piping systems due to ease of maintaining sanitary conditions and corrosion resistant properties. It is the material of choice for food conveying applications which require conformance to FDA requirements. A standard benefit of the stainless steel family of materials is that it covers materials of much different chemistry, permitting economical alternatives to higher end materials and providing greater corrosion resistance to a wide variety of chemical services and environments, as well as providing increased strength.
The internal pressure capabilities make stainless steel pipe suitable for use in many heavy duty applications.
Process piping fluids cover a wide range of applications from water to chemical services. For high pressure applications or highly corrosive environments, it may be necessary to utilize a duplex or super duplex stainless steel because of its high physical properties and greater corrosion resistance.
Duplex stainless steel differs from austenitic stainless steel in chemical make-up; it has higher quantities of chromium and molybdenum and lower quantities of nickel. Duplex stainless steel can be referred to as 2205, and super duplex 2507 because of the percentages of chromium and nickel in their composition. All stainless steels contain a varying percentage of chromium, molybdenum and nickel.
The most common stainless steel is austenitic, which includes the stainless steel pipes made to the specifications of ASTM A312 in Types 304/304L and 316/316L. Types 304/304L are for general corrosion applications such as process cooling water. Types 316/316L have a higher corrosion resistance to chlorides and may be desired based upon the chemical composition of the process fluid. The "L" designation means that the stainless steel contains less than 0.03% carbon. This is beneficial if the pipe needs to be welded.
Stainless steel pipe is generally available in diameters up to 36 inches with dimensions ranging from Schedule 5S to 160S with Schedule 10S being the most readily available.
The system working pressure and pipe joining method will determine the required pipe wall thickness for each application.
Stainless steel pipe may be installed using a variety of joining methods including grooved, welded, flanged, and threaded.

Way back when I worked for "THE PHONE COMPANY". The Bell System. I was there when it was broken up so that I no longer worked for Western Electric, but now AT&T Network Systems. That became Lucent Technologies, but I was long gone before that happened.
Yeah this pretty much sums up the attitude around there then.
I thought it was pretty amusing when my friend commented on a recent Blog post that he crossed up some 1400 phone lines.
Dude. Take out one of these. While you are wearing the happy name badge that says "Network Systems".
Yeah, there went Peoria!
I still have some documentation around here.
I don't know WHY I keep it around though!

LOL, actually THAT 5ESS was what I was replacing... Total replacement with a G-3 1200 trunks, SONET upgrade, 29,000 extensions, all fiber backbone (from flat fiber to 24 strand 55nm, and 911 upgrade... And did it in four months, on schedule AND on budget...ReplyDelete
Love the issue number on the drawing, a number and a letter. Wonder if they ever made it up to 10?ReplyDelete
Thought you guys used one of them hand crank phones.ReplyDelete
