Bitumen is not reactive in the sense that it sets. Furthermore, it's strongly temperature sensitive ie the apperance will depend on temperature. This is perhaps one of the main properties of bitumen, along with stickiness. If its fluid (or thick) n room temperature it will stay that way. There are slow processes, chemical and physical, that will affect properties but these are slow and long term. If you want it to set, lower the temperature or choose another quality of bitumen. There are bitumens that more or less brittle at room temperature.

Acceptable room temperature?

== == The acceptable room temperature varies depending on the following factors: == == * the climate - how different the room will be from the outdoor temperature and how acclimatised people are to this temperature * the humidity * the clothing worn by those in the room * whether those in the room are sedentary (remaining still) or physically active * the purpose for which the room is used * whether the air in the room is still or moving * whether the people are unwell A commonly acceptable temperature range is from about 20 to about 25 degrees C. The most common comfortable temperature to be set on your air conditioner in summer is 24 degrees celsius - this is also the best temperature to conserve energy (It is cool but not too cool).


The temperature of cold glass of milk?

Refrigerators should be set at 4°C to 8°C pouring cold milk into a room temperature glass should only raise the temperature by at most one degree.So between 5°C and 9°C


Why do you put bacteria in an incubator which is 25 degrees Celsius?

Bacteria are often placed in an incubator set at 25 degrees Celsius because this temperature is optimal for their growth and reproduction. It provides a stable and controlled environment that allows the bacteria to thrive and multiply efficiently without getting too hot or cold.


How can you heat a room to 135 degrees?

Heating a room to 135 degrees Fahrenheit can be achieved using a heating source such as a space heater, electric heater, or central heating system. It is important to ensure that the heating source is capable of reaching and maintaining the desired temperature without posing a fire hazard. Additionally, proper insulation and sealing of windows and doors can help retain the heat within the room.


What should heat temperature be set to if it is 30 degrees outside?

The ideal indoor temperature when it's 30 degrees outside will vary based on personal preference, but a common recommendation is to set the heat to around 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain a comfortable environment. Adjust the temperature based on your comfort level and energy efficiency goals.

When should a thermostat kick on to regulate the temperature in a room?

A thermostat should kick on when the temperature in a room goes above or below the set temperature to regulate and maintain the desired temperature.


What is the difference between system overshoot and system lag?

System overshoot is the room temperature that is way over the set room temperature from residual heat from the exchanger into the room after it has shut off. System lag is when the temperature drops below the set point on the thermostat.


What is the feel mode on my air conditioner do?

This function samples the indoor temperature for 2 minutes and then based on that temperature chooses the mode the unit will operate in. If the temperature in the room is more than 79 degrees it will be set in the Cool mode at 75 degrees. If the room temperature is 77 to 79 it will be set to the Cool mode minus 4 degrees of the current room temperature. If the temperature sensed is 73 to 77 degrees then the unit will be set in the Dry mode minus 4 degrees of the current room temperature. If the room temperature is less than 73 degrees then the unit will be set in the Heat mode. In the "I Feel" mode the temperature display disappears and pressing the "Too Warm" or "Too Cool" button will change the set point by 2-4 degrees.


What is the function of the air conditioner switch and how does it regulate the temperature in a room?

The air conditioner switch controls the operation of the air conditioning unit. It regulates the temperature in a room by turning the unit on or off based on the temperature setting selected by the user. When the room temperature rises above the set point, the switch activates the air conditioner to cool the room. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, the switch turns off the air conditioner to maintain the set temperature.


What a thermostat does?

A thermostat in general, is an assembly that measures temperature (if it measures room temperature then we are talking about a room thermostat) and trips an electrical contact on and off comparing measured temperature to a temperature setpoint (the temperature setting we set on the thermostat by means of a rotating knob or a digital screen and buttons. In an hvac system, we install a thermostat inside the room in which we want to control temperature and we set the desired temperature. If current temperature is below setpoint, then the contact trips, and the heating system heats the room. When measured temperature reaches the desired setpoint, thermostat trips off and the heating system will stop giving energy to the room. By starting and stoping the heating system, we achieve to set room temperature within some limits.


How does a thermostat control the temperature of an air conditioner?

A thermostat controls the temperature of an air conditioner by sensing the current temperature in a room and comparing it to the desired temperature set by the user. When the room temperature is higher than the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn on and cool the room. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn off.


What temperature does a room have to be for a french horn player?

There is no set temperature. But, if the room is too cold the horn will be flat and may be difficult to keep in tune with others depending how often there are rests. 65 -70 is good temperature.


Is it possible for the room temperature to be higher than the thermostat setting?

Yes, it is possible for the room temperature to be higher than the thermostat setting if there is a heat source in the room that is generating more heat than the thermostat is set to regulate.

What is temperature instrument is used to control a furnace?

A thermostat is commonly used to control a furnace. It measures the temperature in the room and signals the furnace to turn on or off to maintain a set temperature.
