Frequently Asked Questions

Is the performance of silicones affected by low temperatures?

TVM Building Products
TVM silicone products are not affected by low temperatures when they are within the original packaging. Extreme temperatures will affect many water-based products, but not silicones. Cured silicones have a service temperature of as low as -40°F to -76°F (-40°C to -60°C).

You talk about cold-temperature performance, but just how good is Mobil 1 at low temperatures?

Mobil in Canada
Because of the high-performance fluids in Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil, it generally flows at much lower temperatures than a conventional oil. Mobil 1 0W-40 is capable of pumping at -47° C and flowing at even lower temperatures. At these low temperatures, conventional oils are essentially frozen solid. Even Mobil 1 10W-30 will pump at -41° C.

Will cold temperatures affect Multi-Flow's performance?

Multiflow Web Frequently Asked Questions
The core of the Multi-Flow product is made of high density polyethylene, a material that is much more resilient than PVC or other materials when dealing with expansion associated with frost. There have been no problems related to cold temperatures associated with Multi-Flow. As with any drain system, if water is trapped in the system, it can freeze up with ground frost restricting flow until it thaws. With multiple passageways, it is unlikely that water will stand in all of the tubes.

What are silicones?

Soft silicone dressings: frequently asked questions
Silicones are polymers (long-chains) with a structure that consists of alternate atoms of silicon and oxygen with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms. The degree of polymerisation determines the physical form of the silicone, which can vary from thin oils to relatively hard rubbers or resins.

How does a VI improver thicken at high temperatures but not thicken at low temperatures?

Pennzoil Frequently Asked Questions
A VI (Viscosity Index) improver can be thought of as a very long string which at low temperatures is tightly coiled into a small ball and floats suspended in the oil with little effect on the viscosity of the oil. At high temperatures this ball expands and uncoils and encloses a much larger volume of oil within its structure. This effectively prevents the oil from thinning because of the greater volume taken up by the expanded balls of VI improver molecules.

What happens if the temperatures are sometimes too high or low?

Canadian Xpress - Fusion Nutrition Specialists
As long as it doesn’t happen regularly then no harm should be done. Usually, if the plants are consistently too hot or cold then aside from disease related problems, there will be a reduction in yield. The longer the plant is at the wrong temperature the greater the loss of production.

What are the dangers of working in low temperatures?

Topics: Sector: Fisheries - OSHA - European Agency for Safet...
Exposure to low temperatures results in decreased blood circulation in the muscle tissue of the extremities (hands and feet) thus reducing their ability to function. The result is a faster rate of fatigue and consequently higher accident rates. Exposure to the wind can lead to ear and eye infections, which in turn impair hearing and vision and increase the risk of accidents.

Is performance affected by the weather?

NU700N faq
It is unavoidable that an optical beam can be affected by weather conditions. Rain, fog or snow reduces visibility, scattering and attenuating the amount of laser light that passes between the two units. This can result in transmission errors, that is why a back up line is recommended. However, if it is possible to see approximately half way to the opposite site under bad weather conditions, the DT-100 series can transmit correctly.

How will engine performance be affected by altitude?

Vulcan Aircraft Engines
Because the Raptor 105 is a turbo diesel it will maintain sea level performance up to its critical altitude. Beyond that point power will start to decrease at a rate somewhat less than a normally aspirated engine. The actual critical altitude can only be determined by flight tests but our preliminary results indicate that we will be able to maintain sea level power to at least 10,000 feet msl.

What are you usual annual absolute low temperatures?

The Viticulture FAQ
This is very important because each cultivar has two "cold hardiness thresholds": one at which severe bud damage occurs & another at which the vine is likely to be killed to the soil. With Leon Millot, for example, severe bud damage is not likely until around -10F (-23C) & vinekill is not likely until lows hit around -20F (-29C), with Pinot Noir, on the other hand, severe bud damage will begin at -3F (-19C) & vinekill can occur at -10F (-23C).
