What are the risks of working in mines?

Probably, the mining industry is experiencing a golden age thanks to the fact that, on the one hand, the skyrocketing price of raw materials is making some projects profitable, and on the other hand, the demand that the electrification of the car. However, there are risks that can have a direct impact on the health of workers. Read on to meet them!

Titanium tool: a safe means in environments with high magnetic fields

From an industrial tooling point of view, titanium has a number of properties that make it preferable for some industries, and which, in the case of using other steel alloys, may involve a high physical risk and economic cost

Trinity Spirit explosion: An example of the importance of maintenance

The Trinity Spirit exploded on February 2. The explosion was such that the ship ended up split in two, partly submerged in the water.

What is torque tightening and what are its advantages and disadvantages?

Torque tightening is an indirect method of approaching the voltage limit, and therefore optimal fixation is not ensured. However, its ease, speed and reduced cost make it the most used method of controlling bolted joints.

Tightening Methods and Its Physics

The optimum strength for each joint is determined by the function that it must perform, so the sizing, hardness and strength of the screws will depend on it.

What is the screw tightening? Why is its control important?

To ensure proper fixation of the elements during the service time required by each application, the threaded joining elements must be carefully sized, as they must withstand high clamping forces and static and dynamic stress.

Terminology used in safety at work at height

Photovoltaic installations, types, and maintenance and safety measures

Depending on the type of installation to be built, as well as its application, either a single panel or a group of them that are electrically connected can be used

What are the components of a Solar Photovoltaic Installation connected to the grid?

A photovoltaic installation connected to the grid consists solely of photovoltaic modules (or solar panels) and inverters. Not so the autonomous photovoltaic installations where, in general, the storage battery and its respective charge regulator must be added.

What is Solar Energy?

Solar energy is the energy obtained by capturing the light and heat emitted by the sun. It can be harnessed through the heat it produces, as well as through the absorption of radiation. It is part of the compendium of energies.
