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

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

The indoor temperature setting should be at a comfortable level for living in. The outside temperature should be an irrelevance.


Disadvantages of fluorine?

Fluorine is extremely reactive. It will react with many substances at room temperature and can spontaneously set fire to organic material. It will react exothermically with substances normally used to extinguish fires such as water and carbon dioxide. When it reacts it can form toxic compounds such as hydrogen fluoride.

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 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.


Why are different materials in different states at room temperature?

this is because the type of materials you have and the type of object you have. the reason for this is because, for example glass is room temperature because the air-con in your classroom is set at room temperature and the glass of your window contracts to the air con making it room temperature


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.


What is the temperature for solids?

There is no set temperature for solids. Each element is different. At room temperature we have solids, liquids and gases. Therefore the temperature for a solid is different for each element.


How do you set the inside temp on SkyScan automatic clock model?

All house clocks with internal temperature gauges are automatically set to the temperature within the area. These gauges only tell what temperature the room is, not change the temperature, like a thermostat.
