The final quirk with compensating cable is that it should not be used in high temperature environments. Using compensating cable in high temperature environments Sometimes other types of cable such as general instrument cable, or copper cable is used to extend thermocouples and this also creates errors. a type K thermocouple could only be extended with type k compensating cable.

It may appear correctly wired at the instrument but not correct between the thermocouple and compensating cable. It is possible that the compensating cable is incorrectly wired to the thermocouple.

Unfortunately, many companies in my industry either do not possess the knowledge or choose to ignore properly addressing these building envelope requirements. Since more strict requirements have been applied to all Construction through local Permitting Offices, that equates to my clients having to spend more money on the building’s materials to get the final Permit to Build. This guide has been adopted by most State and Local Permitting Offices either as a general guide or as the official regulations. If any of these materials are leaky, the building’s air barrier may be compromised.Ī Federal guide has been developed for the exterior envelope design and construction for Federal Institutional, Federal Office Buildings, etc. A typical air barrier incorporates more than a dozen materials, including some or all of the following: poured concrete, sill seal, wall sheathing, wrap, mastic tape, caulk, spray foam, gaskets, window glass, drywall, polyethylene, weather-stripping, etc. An air barrier is the sum of many parts and consists of materials assembled and joined together to prevent air leakage between the conditioned space and unconditioned space - aka, the inside and outside. It is vital to create an air barrier, a thermal break, a controlled internal environment, sealed seams and a few other components to be considered a true envelope in all steel structures. Many considerations must go into each component of the building to create a proper envelope. Water in the soil will wick all the way up to the roof framing if you let it. Capillary breaks such as brush-on damp-proofing, sill sealer, and rigid insulation block this process. Foundations see very small temperature swings because they’re buried underground but, unless you live in the desert, the ground is always wet, and that water is always pushing its way in. ![]() Walls have more weak links, such as doors, windows, signage and decks. Walls contend with most of the same conditions, to a lesser degree. A roof is bombarded by the sun, cold, heat, rain, snow, wind and hail. to penetrate the interior.Įach part of the envelope has unique challenges that must be accounted for in a proper design. And where there is a weak spot, there is a potential break in the building’s envelope which will allow wind, water, dirt, insects, rodents, etc. When the design of these lines is uncertain, there will be a weak spot. The parts of the building where this balance is always the trickiest is where the roof meets the walls, the walls meet the floor and the floor meets the foundation. It then extends out of the ground as walls, windows and doors and is ultimately capped with a roof.Īll parts of the envelope must work together to achieve a common goal, of stopping the flow of air, water, cold and heat while still allowing the inevitable intrusion of water a way to dry out. The enclosure begins in the ground with the footer, piers, frost wall and floor. ![]() ![]() The purpose of the envelope system is multi-fold and includes ensuring structural integrity, controlling moisture, preventing thermal leakage and controlling air pressure boundaries. The building envelope, or shell, is the collective of several parts of the structure that work to enclose the interior environment and includes the roof, walls, windows, doors and foundation. “What is a building envelope?” you may ask. Lately, almost all my Projects have had to address the “Building’s Envelope” to satisfy our client’s local Permitting Office’s energy requirements. ![]() Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository # # repositories and types from one server installation. # are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple # Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they # generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options. # You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use.

We’re not going to spend too much time talking about load temps/noise for the 270X since the reference design will not be for sale, but briefly we can see that AMD’s blower lets it get relatively warm. That or AMD (and NVIDIA) are exceeding PCIe specs and drawing more than 150W.įor idle temperatures there are no big surprises. 7850 by comparison is 20W less we have always worked on the assumption that AMD was slightly overstating their TDPs on the first generation GCN products, and that would certainly be the case here. More significantly we can see both the HIS 270 and GTX 660 topping out within 1W of each other, illustrating the 150W wall. We still have a difference between the HIS and Asus cards, but at 7W it’s not nearly as much as under Crysis. This test also highlights the difference between the GTX 760 and 270X in maximum power consumption the 270X will draw less power on average, but it’s ultimately rated for more than the GTX 760.Īs for the 270 cards, everything clusters together. All 270 series cards are exceeding their 7800 series predecessors, with the 270X approaching the power consumption of the 7850 Boost. Meanwhile for FurMark, we see some compression as power consumption becomes largely a function of programmed TDP limits. It also means there’s a small but meaningful difference between the 150W 270 and the 130W 260X. Though regardless, the 270 is going to be more power hungry than the outgoing 7850, despite the identical TDPs. However if we were to normalize the HIS 270 to the GTX 660’s Crysis 3 performance, the power consumption difference of 5W would likely vanish if not reverse. ![]() Note that in either case, this is going to be more than the GTX 660. Some of this will be performance based, but for whatever reason the Asus card seems more power hungry in general. Despite the minor clockspeed differences between our 270 cards, the Asus card is drawing a total of 18W at the wall more than the HIS card. To that end the 270X at 267W at the wall is drawing more power than the 7870 and GTX 660, but less than the GTX 760 and quite a bit less than the 280X. This goes both for comparing the 270 series to the 7800 series on a hardware basis, and comparing it to the 7700 series on a price/performance basis. First and foremost, because AMD is still on Pitcairn and still on TSMC’s 28nm process, power consumption has nowhere to go but higher in tandem with performance. Moving on to load power consumption, there are a few things to look at. At 78W for our 270X and 80W for our 270 cards, idle power consumption is fairly average, though for what it’s worth nothing here can touch the GK106 based GTX 660, which consistently measures a few watts lower at the wall. ![]() Starting as always with idle power consumption, nothing has changed since the 7800 series. Unlike the 280X and 290 series these are very narrow ranges – just 25MHz to 50MHz – so our clockspeed uncertainty here from the coarse reporting is similarly low. All of our cards report that they’re at their boost state throughout their entire benchmark runs. Looking briefly at clockspeeds, as these are all PowerTune Boost 1.0 cards, the boost capabilities are very coarse grained. ![]() 40): "WHITE LIGHT AND HEAT IN CHICAGO-Verve's Velvet Underground introduced their new “White Light Heat” LP at a cocktail party held in Chicago's Bratskeller. 44): "MGM Records' the Velvet Underground performed at the Aardvark recently with WCFL's Ron Britain".Īlso in Cash Box, Ma(p.

Dangerous and unpredictable, White Light/White Heat is a raw and often improvisational album that contains some of the Velvet Underground’s most powerful music.The Velvet Underground - Live performances and rehearsals - 1968 The Velvet Underground Live performances and rehearsals As strong and weird as these songs are, nothing prepares the listener for the searing 17-minute closer, “Sister Ray.” The song’s punishing and elemental guitar riff, blown-out organ, and tribal drumming collide on a noise-jam for the ages, as Reed paints an appropriately seedy portrait of grungy debauchery with his minimal lyrics. “I Heard Her Call My Name” features a blistering and overdriven guitar solo that tests the sonic limitations of magnetic tape. “Here She Comes Now” is, on the one hand, a catchy rock song, but Lou Reed’s stuttering delivery and Maureen Tucker’s bashing percussion give it an otherworldly atmosphere. So while the album’s opening title track has a memorable call-and-response refrain that a group in another universe might fashion into a Top 40 hit, the Velvets drive the tune home with grinding repetition and clanging, in-the-red sonics from producer Tom Wilson. But here they delivered the songs with a half-turn of additional intensity, and the recording’s ragged edges amplify the artful chaos. The Velvets assembled White Light/White Heat from some of the same elements as the rest of the group’s catalog, mixing pop genres like garage rock and R&B with streetwise poetry and folding in abstraction on loan from classical avant-garde. The band’s second album, 1968’s White Light/White Heat, was their noisiest and harshest record, and much of the underground rock of the '70s and '80s can be traced back to it. Each of the Velvet Underground’s first four studio LPs was unique in terms of sound and style, and each left its own mark on music history. ![]() In this book he tells the history of The Stooges with a mixture of wit, candor and spontaneity: from their early beginnings to their full flaming flare over three groundbreaking albums before the crash and the triumphant return that no-one could have predicted. “Iggy Pop has turned the interview into an art form. “What does it mean to be Iggy Pop, five decades of being ‘the wildest man in rock’?
