Modern Art Steel: Stainless-steel worktops look modern art steel and industrial. They're tough and heat resistant so you can put pots straight down on them, but they can be scored by cutting directly onto them and greasy fingers tend to leave marks. Stainless steel is best kept clean with a soft, rather than an abrasive cloth and wiped over with a little baby oil once in a while to bring up the shine. These worktops were actually sent away to be re-covered in stainless steel -a clever way to update existing surfaces.
For high heads, and where water hammer is a dominant factor, plate steel with modern art steel welded shop joints and Dresser couplings for field joints, and steel cylinder prestressed pipe produce satisfactory conduits. Metal conduits should be safeguarded against tuberculation by cement-mortar lining, bituminous coating, or cathodic protection. As compared to cast-iron pipe in sizes above 48 inches, these types are cheaper and are less damaged by blowouts; but steel pipe must be protected by air-and-vacuum valves against collapse.
Although its old craft industries still produce dolls, toys, and leather, Himeji is primarily a modern art steel industrial city. Steel, chemical, and Textile production became important before World War II. Since the war, the city has acquired new integrated iron and steel works, heavy engineering plants, and a huge petrochemical complex that produces raw materials for the synthetic Textile and other industries. Population: (1965) 367,807. |
