    Wrought iron is a tough malleable form of iron which contains very less carbon percentage of 0.05 to 1%. It is very soft in nature and have high tension strength. It is also magnetic and ductile in nature.

    Water content is determined by the Karl Fischer titration method and it consists of only water i.e moisture content. ... Loss on drying (LOD) is determined by heating the sample below its melting point in an oven and it includes all volatile matter including water content and solvents.

    Difference between declination and dip:

    Here

    I will share with you a specific definition of declination and dip, have a look.

    Declination is just an angle which is in between the magnetic north and true north. 

    Whereas magnetic dip is an angle between magnetic field lines and a horizontal plane at a particular location on the planet.


    Thank You.

    Hi,

    Sections of Tubular steel are strong, basically, against longitudinal stress, that’s why steel tubes are used for scaffolding. Steel tubing and steel pipes are greatly resistant to compression against lengthways, and also offer better resistance to bending forces than flat steel sheet.

    On another side, a solid tube section has more weight which makes the surface load increases. It also increases the cost of construction and project. The solid section as more affinity towards corrosion which is uneconomical.

    Hi,

    First, you need to know no that modulus of rupture is also known as a flexural strength or band strength or even transverse rupture strength.

    modulus of rupture is generally a measure of the tensile strength of beam and slab of concrete.

    Following are some tests to determine the flexural strength

    1. Loading test on centre point ( ASTM C 293)
    2. Loading test on third point ( ASTM C 78)

     

    Refer Indian Standard code 456:2000 for various other tests to determine a modulus of rupture of beam or column.

    Hi,

    Let me correct your concept, in septic tank detention period off 24 hours is considered. In this case,

    the rate of flow of influent= rate of flow of effluent.

    Septic tank is to be designed in such a way that see wait is retained in the tank for 24 hours and all the biological decomposition in the absence of air that is an aerobic bacteria takes place and breaks the soil which living a very small quantity of soil which is commonly called as sludge which settles at the bottom. And the clearwater which out from the tank is known as effluent.

    As you asked in question the 30 minutes is regarding the washing time of the tank.

    Hope you get clarity.
