A METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVITY EXAMINING WORKPIECES, ESPECIALLY WELDING SEAMS, BY MEANS OF,ULTRA-SOUND WAVES ACCORDING TO THE IMPULSE-ECHO METHOD, IN WHICH ULTRA-SOUND WAVES ARE EMITTED FROM AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE ULTRA-SOUND EMITTER-RECEIVER ANGULAR TESTING HEADS AND SENT INTO THE WORKPIECE ZONE TO BE EXAMINED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE SOUND WAVES OF SAID EMITTER-RECEIVERS MEET IN SAID ZONE WHILE SAID EMITTERRECEIVERS ARE SO SPACED FROM THE WORKPIECE ZONE TO BE EXAMINED THAT THE SOUND WAVES FROM ONE EMITTER-RECEIVER REQUIRE MORE TIME TO REACH THE WORKPIECE ZONE TO BE EXAMINED THAN THE SOUND WAVES FROM THE OTHER EMITTERRECEIVER, MEANS BEING PROVIDED FOR RECORDING ECHOES RECEIVED BY SAID EMITTER-RECEIVERS.
摘要:
In apparatus for retorting oil shale, oil sands and similar materials wherein finely divided solids residue is used as a heat carrier and is heated in a vertical pneumatic conveyor-burner, mixed with fresh finely divided solid feed, product distillation vapors are removed from the mixture, and the solid distillation residue is returned to the conveyor-burner, the improvement whereby the propellant gas is introduced axially to the bottom of the conveyor-burner and the cool heat carrier is introduced thereinto from a concentric annular chamber thereabout through slits or openings in the propellant gas conduit by means of a flow of a control gas. Other specific improvements of portions of the retorting apparatus and solids circulating system are examplified and claimed, especially a screw conveyor-mixer retorting chamber.
