Test Method for Retractable Type Fall Arresters Designed for Horizontal Use

Retractable type fall arresters are designed to protect against falls from a height of people who need freedom of vertical movement. The practice of fall protection shows that the devices are also used to protect people who work on flat roofs. This application creates quite different operating conditions for the devices. In some situations those conditions can be dangerous for users. The article presents a theoretical analysis of phenomena occurring during a fall arrest with retractable type fall arresters arranged horizontally. The analysis was verified with laboratory tests. The article presents a proposal for the construction of a test stand and a test method for estimating retractable type fall arresters intended for horizontal use.     

Locking of Retractable Type Fall Arresters—Test Method and Stand

Retractable type fall arresters are very effective personal equipment protecting against falls from a height. These devices are used under different atmospheric conditions and in the presence of various types of industrial pollution. For this reason appropriate locking after conditioning simulating extreme conditions of a worksite is one of the essential characteristics of retractable type fall arresters. This article presents the requirements for locking of the devices. A previously used locking test method and its disadvantages are discussed. The article suggests an improved test method and test equipment. Measurement of the test mass acceleration is the most important improvement introduced into the test method. The article shows laboratory tests used to verify the method, which turned out to be a valuable source of information concerning the performance of retractable type fall arresters.     

红壤丘陵区人工林降水化学研究

对比研究了亚热带丘陵区几种人工林在对大气降水再分配后发生的水质变化。对P、K、Ca、Mg、Na、S元素的测定分析表明,不同林分具有不同的交换特性,3种人工林中Mg和K、Ca均较容易淋失,而对于P和Na则呈现明显的吸收或吸附作用。

昆山市夏秋季节大气PM2.5中水溶性无机阴离子的污染特征

对昆山市区域7个点位夏秋季的5中水溶性无机阴离子(SO2-4、NO-3、NO-2、Cl-、F-)的污染特征进行了调查,结果表明,昆山市夏季大气PM2.5中5种离子平均值排序为:ρ(SO2-4)ρ(Cl-)ρ(NO-3)ρ(F-)ρ(NO-2);秋季平均值排序为:ρ(SO2-4)ρ(NO-3)ρ(Cl-)ρ(F-)ρ(NO-2)。SO2-4、NO-3和Cl-3者的总量在PM2.5中占比20%。除F-以外各区域离子的平均值秋季比夏季要高。ρ(NO-3)/ρ(SO2-4)表明,固定污染源在昆山市大气颗粒物污染中仍然占很大比重,但大部分测点的比值接近1,说明移动源也是昆山大气颗粒物的重要污染源。     

油气管道穿越西北干旱区湿地的环境保护

高空防坠落装置的使用现状及改进措施

为使高空防坠落装置技术更成熟、应用更普及,笔者对高空防坠落装置的类型特点、装置存在的问题进行分析,提出改进措施。结果表明:导向型防坠落装置存在使用环境受限,导轨维护困难,无法“高挂低用”等问题;速差式防坠落装置存在易发生“钟摆效应”,收绳速度不可控等问题。提出导向型防坠落装置要采取材料优化、智能化、改变制动方式等改进措施;速差式防坠落装置要采取重新设计防坠落器结构、加入速度控制模块、加入角度模块等改进措施。
