What is the Distance between two points located on a circle?
On the circle, an arc. Cutting across the circle, a chord.
What is the difference between the center of an arc and the midpoint of an arc?
there is not much difference
Is a circle an arc?
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
What is the difference between arc measure and arc length?
Arc measure is the number of radians. Two similar arcs could have the same arc measure. Arc length is particular to the individual arc. One must consider the radius of the arc in question then multiply the arc measure (in radians) times the radius to get the length.
An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called?
major arc
Is plasma cutting cleaner then a torch cutting system?
plasma arc cutting (PAC) systems were much less expensive.Plasma cutting systems can be either plasma cutting tables or handheld torches. A larger, industrial plasma cutting table will obviously cost more
What are some different applications for plasma torches?
There are some different applications for plasma torches (or plasma arc or plasma gun) including plasma cutting, plasma spraying and plasma and waste disposal.
What do you use plasma for?
Plasma Cutters are metal working tools. Plasma cutters are generally used for cutting Metals upto an inch in thickness. They use compressed air and electrical current to create an arc similar to welding. The electrical arc heats the metal at a tremendous rate while the compressed air blows it out of the way. These pieces of equipment when used in a computerized setup or by someone with a very steady hand can create very high quality cuts.
Does water explode in a plasma arc?
Yes, water will explode in a plasma arc. Just spray water into a welding arc and you'll see it happen first hand (not recommended). Water arc explosions are used in metal forming and mining.
What are the 3 man-made plasmas?
There are many more than three uses for Plasma in technology today. They range from the plasma in your TV, or Fluorescent light, or advertising display tube, right through to plasma torches used for cutting of metals (or anything!). Also used for plasma arc welding.Plasma torches have an important use in plasma furnacesused as a method of completely destroying dangerous chemicals, such as the PCB (poly chlorinated bi-phenyl) materials. They dissociate the compound right down to the atomic level.The temperature of the plasma arc may be up to 25 000oC.
How to Use a Plasma Cutter?
A plasma cutter is a device that uses compressed air or an inert gas blown through a high speed nozzle to cut metal. As the inert gas or compressed air is blown out of the nozzle, an electric arc is formed from the nozzle to the surface of the material being cut. Some of the inert gas or compressed air is converted into plasma as it touches the material being cut, and the heat from this plasma is used to cut the metal. There are two types of plasma cutters most commonly used in commercial applications. The HF (high frequency) Contact plasma cutter initiates an arc by using a high frequency, high-voltage spark to ionise the air through the torch head. While the use of this method is quite common, it is not suitable for CNC cutting applications because it requires the torch to be in contact with the material that is being cut. The other method commonly used in commerical applications is the Pilot Arc method. This method uses a high-voltage, low current circuit to create a spark within the torch body. The creation of this spark generates a pocket of plasma gas, or a pilot arc. The pilot arc is able to maintain itself because there is a return electrical path in the torch head. The pilot arc is maintained until the torch comes into contact with the material being cut, at which time the main plasma cutting arc is ignited. Because this method does not require the torch to be in contact with the material it is cutting in order to ignite, this type of plasma cutter is used across all plasma cutter applications. Over the last decade, manufacturers of plasma cutters have continued to roll out new models that feature smaller nozzles and thinner plasma arcs. As these components have become smaller, plasma cutters have been reduced in size to the point where there are now hand-held plasma cutters. This development has made plasma cutters not only easier to handle, but also much more precise. Another benefit of the increasing miniaturization of plasma cutters has been a reduction in their cost. This reduction in cost has now made the purchase of a plasma cutter within the reach of most hobbyists.
What is plasma welding?
Plasma welding is another name for arc welding. It is a process in which electricity super heats air to form a plasma arc. This arc transmits an electrical current to a metal surface and creates heat to melt the metal together thus creating a weld joint.
What light is the most dangerous to welders?
The light given off by high voltage arc welding is most harmful but over time, prolonged exposure to the light from shield-gas, oxyacetylene plasma cutting, and torch cutting can cause bleeding behind the macula.
Can plasma exist on earth?
The best example of plasma on earth is lightning. It's natural. The state of matter we call plasma exists at high temperatures. Those temperatures don't usually exist here, but they do for a brief second in a bolt of lightning. Any electric arc creates plasma, and plasma metal cutting equipment can be found is shops around the world. The plasma is so hot that it zips through sheets and plates very quickly. This sustained plasma stream makes short work of cutting applications. We can also find plasma inside operating fluorescent lights. The gas atoms are not superheated, but have high enough energy at the low pressures to become a plasma.
What country has the Niger River cutting an arc through it?
no where.
Can plasma arc welding weld non magnetic materials?
Plasma arc welding can weld almost any commonly used metal. It is not limited to magnetic metals, they only need to conduct electricity.
What system is plasma in?
Plasma, as a state of matter, is a highly ionized version of an ordinary element.In a Sodium Lamp, the sodium is vaporized and glows an orange colour typical of its light emission spectrum.(A little mercury is added to get it started. That's why the street lamps are blue when starting.)Plasma Arc cutting torches are used for cutting metal, often quite thick metal, and work by ionizing a stream of inert gas and using this for the actual cutting. They give a very good finish to the cut.Temperatures are in the tens of thousands deg C, and excellent eye protection is needed.
