1. Australian Pressure Gauges October 26, 2009 Pressure gauges are used to measure the amount of pressure that exists in a given space. Pressure gauges are very important in situations where a large amount of pressure may collect in a given space. This routinely occurs during many processes and is a standard feature of industrial and manufacturing equipment. However, the use of pressure is not limited to these fields alone and is also used in domestic and day-to-day applications, such as water pipes, tanks and so on. Although, in the latter situation, the pressure that is being generated is comparatively low and hence, the need ... (read more) Author: Peter Carey

But even though new measures where brought in to get rid of it, many schools and public buildings still contain asbestos. Small asbes... (read more) Author: Ellsworth Cannon

6. Door Curtains Help Insulate Your Home! August 03, 2009 Door curtains can play a major part in adding extra insulation and keeping draughts out. Whether its the main front or back door or even just room to room, a door curtain will certainly help to keep the heat in and the cold out, which in turn will help to make your house more energy efficient and therefore reduce fuel costs. It is usual to have a single curtain (rather than a pair) for a door and eyelets on a pole are often the best option as you can have less fullness in your curtain so that it does not take up too much space when drawn back open. You will find it more practical to stac... (read more) Author: Andrew Vipond

7. Insulating Your Roof And Attic By Installing Reflective Insulation July 30, 2009 Reflective insulation is a form of thermal insulation that uses reflective material such as aluminium to block out the transfer of radiant heat. Radiant heat, for example from the sun, travels through space from hot to a cooler surface. In this case, most of the heat your home will be exposed to will be on the roof which is then transferred to the rest of the house. To reduce the transfer of heat between your home and the outside, the best area to insulate is your roof and attic as majority of the energy transfer will take place through there. Reflective insulation reduces the temperatu... (read more) Author: Klik Sail

8. How Does Attic Insulation Save Money? July 21, 2009 Home insulation creates resistance to heat flow. The increase of heat flow resistance one's home insulation createsprovides|gives}, the lower one's heating costs. Heat naturally flows from warmer to cooler spaces. In the winter, the heat flow moves directly from all heated spaces to colder garages and even outside. The heat gained in the summer must be removed by one's cooling system. A home insulation resistance to heat flow is measured in terms of its thermal resistance, which is called "R value." The higher the R value of one's home insulation, the better it will resist the heat's flow from... (read more) Author: Ronny Gallagher
