  • Publication number: 20220204691
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a polyoxyalkylene polyol, comprising depositing an alkylene oxide onto an H-functional starter substance in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst, wherein the alkylene oxide is dosed at the mass flow rate m(alkylene oxide), the H-functional starter substance is dosed at the mass flow rate m(starter substance), and the double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst is dosed in a dispersant at the mass flow rate m(DMC) continuously into the reactor with the reaction volume V during the reaction, and the resulting reaction mixture is continuously removed from the reactor, and wherein the quotient of the sum of the mass flow rates ?{dot over (m)} of {dot over (m)}(alkylene oxide), {dot over (m)}(starter substance) and {dot over (m)}(DMC) to give the reaction volume V in the steady state is greater than or equal to 1200 g/(h·L).

  • Patent number: 9347974
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for determining beam parameters of a charge carrier beam, a measuring device, and a charge carrier beam device. The charge carrier beam (4) from a charge carrier beam device (1) is guided, by means of a beam deflection unit (3), over a slit aperture arrangement which is provided in an aperture device (7) and which has one or more slit apertures (8). Measurement plane coordinates of the beam components that penetrate the slit aperture arrangement are determined. On the basis of the measurement plane coordinates, the aperture device automatically moves in such a way that a measuring aperture (9) arranged in the aperture device moves over a predefined measurement reference point. The beam parameter is measured by the measuring aperture. In a measuring device (5) suitable for carrying out said method, the slit aperture arrangement has at least two non-parallel slit aperture sections (12, 13, 15, 16) which can be part of a single continuous slit aperture.

  • Patent number: 9056344
    Abstract: In a method for producing hot-rolled sections of steel with a rectangular or square cross-section, a substantially round pipe blank produced seamlessly by hot rolling or cold finished and welded and having a defined nominal outside diameter is initially produced and then formed at a forming temperature into a hollow section having the required cross-section, with visible edges C1 and C2 of the hollow section having a value ?1.5×t (t=wall thickness). The pipe blank has a nominal outer diameter determined from a reduction ratio of the pipe blank to be achieved and the hollow section dimensions to be achieved, wherein the reduction ration lies within a range of ?2% to ?13% and is determined according to the following formula: Reduction ratio R[%]=[(2×(H+B))??×D]×100%/[2×(H+B)].
