What is the manufacturing date of a Colt Cobra serial number F61691?
1974. All Cobra and Commando revolvers made that year began with F6 . . .
What products are manufactured?
Glassware is Suriname's main manufactured product.
Specifically, manufactured products tend to be items imported by Suriname from nearby Caribbean islands or from European Union countries and the United States of America. But Suriname is hoping to change its export-import picture. Currently, the country exports edibles such as bananas and shrimp and mineral resources such as bauxite and gold. It imports manufactured goods and technology.
What is the difference between manufacturing and agriculture?
Manufacturing is when you make something man (or women) made. Like a computer made in a factory. Agriculture is when you plant something and it grows by nature. Like corn grown in a farm.
What is shut height in a die set?
The shut height is the outside dimension of the die set (measured from the bottom to the top die plate) when the press ram is at the limit of it's downward stroke (in the case of a vertical press).
Difference between investment casting and sand casting?
In the Sand Casting process, a pattern of the desired finished part including the metal delivery system is constructed out of hardwood, urethane, metal or foam. Sand containing bonding material to retain its shape is packed around the pattern. The pattern is removed from the bonded sand, leaving a cavity in the shape of the part. Molten metal is poured into the cavity and the metal solidifies. The sand is removed though a shakeout process. Other cast attachments, including the metal delivery system, are trimmed leaving the desired part. Internal passageways, including intricate structures, can be included in the casting by adding cores during the molding process. This makes sand casting a popular selection for pump and valve applications. Sand castings would typically be at least partially machined before use.
Investment castings are typically selected because they can be produced with fine detail, excellent "as-cast" surface finish, and shaped into internal or external features, thin walls, and internal passageways to get to a near net shape. This often leads to significant customer cost savings in material, labor and machining.
Nylon is a man made polymer whose characteristics can be changed with additives and manufacturing to meet the needs of the application. It can feel like anything you'd like. From solid glass filled nylon, to the fluffiest gossamer.
What state grows the most trees for making paper?
The state that grows the most trees for making paper is typically considered to be Georgia. It has a significant amount of pine forests, particularly slash and loblolly pines, which are commonly used in the paper industry. Other states, such as Alabama and Mississippi, also contribute to paper production, but Georgia leads in terms of volume and production capacity.
Some, not all. It is not an exact rproduction.
How does the production of textile products impact on the environment?
Textiles have a HUGE impact on the environment from growing natural fibers to the finishing and dyeing process, to the substantial amounts of water and energy used to clean the textiles once in the hands of the final user.
A few examples for you:
- Cotton is a water intensive crop and is often grown in water-scarce areas.
- Cotton requires a lot of toxic pesticides to grow and accounts for 16% of the global pesticide use, even tho it's only 2.5% of all crops. These pesticides runoff and pollute local ground water.
- Most textiles used today are man-made, in other words the fabric is polyester which comes from oil.
- Once the fabric has been created, finishing agents and dyes are the next problem.
- Billions of gallons of water is used annually to infuse and rinse finishing agents and dye into fabric.
- Textile dye contains highly toxic chemicals including arsenic, mercury and other heavy metals which cannot be removed from the wastewater.
The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly increased the efficiency of cotton processing, allowing for the rapid separation of cotton fibers from seeds. This surge in productivity led to a dramatic rise in cotton cultivation, which in turn created a higher demand for labor to plant, tend, and harvest the cotton crops. As cotton became a lucrative cash crop, plantation owners sought to maximize profits by increasing their workforce, resulting in a greater need for enslaved individuals to meet the growing agricultural demands. Thus, the cotton gin inadvertently intensified the reliance on slavery in the Southern economy.
What is the manufacturing date of a Winchester rifle with a serial number of 363116?
you need to have a model number added to this question before it can be answered,
What is the difference between manufacturing and service organization supply chain?
The end goal of any company is a satisfied customer. The process of locating, obtaining and transporting the inputs needed to do this is the core function of supply chain management. Supply chain design in the manufacturing industry requires a great deal of focus on physical product and a broader supplier base, while service firms typically have little need for physical inputs other than office supplies, and often work with a much smaller group of suppliers.
Why is lean production is called lean?
"Lean", I presume you mean "Just in Time" and not that all of the production employees are leaning against the wall because there is nothing for them to do...
In lean production, you match your output to demand and keep less stock in the warehouse.
How was candles made from whale oil?
Whale oil is thicker than the normal oil which we use in our daily life. It is more denser than simple oil. It is like gum and can be dried to make candles.
What are the differing characteristics of steel channel and steel tubing?
Other than shape and or dimensions, not a whole bunch. Both materials are most likely rolled from the same billet or raw material (a long, rectangular or cylindrical unfinished bar of iron or steel) in the same or similar rolling mills. These types of materials are known simply as mild carbon steel or merchant bar. This is assuming you mean HSS (Hollow Structural Steel) also known as square, or rectangular tubing. Most cylindrical pipe (sometimes called tubing) is mild carbon steel as well. There are seamless, or heavy wall pipes that may be of higher tensile. These are for specialized application and are less common.
Who discovered first discovered silk?
The Chinese emperor Huang Di's wife Lei Zu, discovered that silkworms made their cocoons of silk. She discovered how to weave it into silk cloth.
