air flask

The first step is to extract a subsample from each air flask.

Another time the workers came upon the uninjured air flask of a Japanese torpedo.

Consistency among the two flasks is also required; this increases both scientists' and the public's confidence in the values from an air flask.

She even charged air flasks for the torpedoes of PT boats.

Located beyond the tank were high-pressure air flasks.

Following on from the bow is the central section, first in this section are the batteries for the electric motor and the air flasks.

Underneath the catapult track were four high-pressure air flasks connected in parallel to a piston.

A torpedo air flask exploded propelling the warhead through the deck house of number 3 4.7" mount.

Friendly air cover remained with the submarine until she recharged her batteries and filled her air flasks.

Depending on the difference in energy consumption, the air flasks will show strikingly different Δ14C values depending on the source of the air collected.

Once an air flask is safely returned to the laboratory, it is time to analyze the air, first for concentrations of greenhouse gases, and then for δ13C and Δ14C.

After a complete analysis for greenhouse gases and stable isotopes, the air flasks make their final stop at the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon Laboratory.

This laboratory contains air flasks waiting to be sampled, a wall lined with tanks of standards, large metal containers of liquid nitrogen, and computers showing graphs of carbon isotope ratios.

Samples are taken at various time intervals, but all air flask samples taken from each site end up back at the CCGG Boulder Central Facility at some point.

The inability to blow the ballast tanks was later attributed to excessive moisture in the sub's high-pressure air flasks, moisture which froze and plugged the flasks' flowpaths while passing through the valves.

The force of the explosion had torn a hole twelve feet across, shredded the interior ballast tank baffles, and ruptured a half-dozen air flasks, but already much of its force had been dissipated.

Before an air sample can be analyzed using isotope ratio mass spectrometry on Spock, carbon dioxide must be extracted and purified from the air flask so that carbon dioxide enters the mass spectrometer.

Some material was removed from her hulk for use in other submarines, and her six torpedo air flasks were installed in the submarine USS Pampanito (SS-383) in San Francisco, California.

Between the torpedo warhead and the engine section is the torpedo compressed air flask, 6 (or 8 in later models) steering air bottles and the forward trim tank, followed by the control area and the pilot's seat.

She was lightly damaged when she touched a rock while entering Brest in fog on 18 July and in another incident her steering compartment was flooded when a torpedo air flask burst between her screws during a torpedo-launching exercise on 18 May 1905.
