Installation of plate heat exchangers

Installation of plate heat exchangers:

The plate heat exchanger is determined by its structural characteristics, and its installation is more convenient and flexible. The following describes the matters needing attention in the assembly of the frontal parts of the plate heat exchanger and the installation of the system.

1. Parts assembly of plate heat exchanger

Regarding the assembly of plate heat exchanger parts, whether the manufacturer ships the parts to the user unit for on-site assembly, or the user unit disassembles the plate heat exchanger after overhauling the equipment and then assembles it, it must be carried out in the following order. 

1. Carefully read the random documents (certificate of conformity, material certificate, flow chart, assembly drawing and packing list, etc.). 

2. Check whether the materials of plates, pipes and gaskets are consistent with the corrosion resistance requirements of the medium in the heat exchanger. 

3. Check whether all parts are complete according to the drawing, and whether the model and size are consistent with the drawing. 

4. Clean the gasket grooves of the plates, apply adhesive evenly, stick the gaskets, and then stack the plates neatly together and press a certain weight. 

5. Assemble according to the designed flow chart, and clamp in the specified order.

6. The hydraulic test should be carried out on one side separately. The test pressure is 1.25 times the design pressure of the equipment; the pressure is maintained for 30 minutes, and all welded parts of the sealing box are checked, and no leakage is qualified.

Second, the system installation of the unit

The installation of the system by the user refers to the installation of the equipment sent by the manufacturer to the user or the equipment repaired by the user to the application station. This should be done in the following order. 

1. Put the equipment on the foundation and fix the anchor bolts. 

2. Check whether the inlet and outlet of the cold and hot medium of the pipeline are consistent with the connection on the equipment. Considering the convenience of maintenance, it is best to use short joints when connecting pipes and heat exchangers. 

3. Thermometers and pressure gauges should be installed at the inlet and outlet of the cold and hot media of the heat exchanger. 

3. Precautions when assembling heat exchanger parts and equipment installation

1. Pay attention to the center of gravity of the equipment when hoisting. 

2. When bonding the gasket to the gasket groove, it should be ensured that there are no debris such as sand, oil, iron filings and flux on the gasket and in the gasket groove of the plate, so as not to damage the seal and cause leakage. 

3. When tightening the bolts, the force should be uniform, and the distance between the inner sides of the two compression plates should be continuously measured to ensure that the parallelism deviation between the two compression plates is not greater than 3mm. misaligned or slipped out of the gasket groove. At the same time, check carefully while clamping to observe whether there are any dislocations such as gaskets and plates. 

4. The liquid for hydraulic test is generally water. The water temperature should not be lower than 5℃. The pressure should be raised slowly during the test. After the test is completed, properly loosen the compression nut to release the accumulated water, then tighten the nut and clamp it to the original size for use. 

5. There should be a certain maintenance space around the heat exchanger, and its size is related to the size of the plate. 

6. The clamping bolts should be coated with butter, and a protective tube should be covered when conditions permit to avoid rusting and bruising the threads. 

7. If the maximum pressure of the pump outlet is greater than the maximum operating pressure of the equipment, a pressure reducing valve and a safety valve should be installed at the inlet of the equipment. 

8. When the equipment is filled with liquid and under pressure, it is not allowed to clamp the nut.

Find Solid Ground: Why it is important to keep looking up.

Find Solid Ground: Why it is important to keep looking up.

"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground." – Theodore Roosevelt

In my short time parenting and even longer time on earth these words have a complex meaning. They are so complex that we can either draw power from it, or be broken by them. Ultimately the decision is ours, but deep in the ground, the foundation for this decision has been laid by the generations that have come before us. We have had the joy of experiencing life with a five year old for just over a week now. It is interesting how, almost overnight, she has grown so much more independent. Zoey has long been a little helper. Ever since her feet hit the ground she has been helping load the dishwasher. That is, when she is not running, climbing, dancing, or doing summersaults. But there is something magical about turning five, and we are experiencing more and more of it each day. When Zoey was born, we did not even know what five would look like. We heard the word Craniosynostosis, and our idea of time, and its general movement was wrenched to a stop. Like a Hollywood movie the film on the reel that we had planned snapped, and spun around. Facing countless surgeries, time in the hospital, and therapists, I just felt my heart break. All that I have ever wanted for my children, is for them to be kids. To experience life running barefoot in the grass in the summertime. Dancing in sprinklers while eating homemade ice-cream. Building snow forts and having epic wars. The more time that we spent in the NICU, the more that all of this felt like a dream.  Much like a dream, I felt it slipping through my fingers as I fought to wake up. Then, a moment came that would change everything. After spending 12 mornings and 11 long nights in the NICU, surround by amazing doctors and nurses, we were finally getting ready to go home. We had been trained on the things that we needed to know in order to take care of Zoey.  Most notably how to insert the 12 inch long nasogastric tube into the nostril of our wriggly and strong newborn, push it down into her stomach, and tape it to her. All so she could eat. I did not sleep that night.  I spent the whole night scared out of my mind, and packing what things I could. After many, many trips to our tiny car, taking all that could be spared, it was time. We stood in the doorway, waiting for rounds. This wait felt like it took forever. Suddenly, the curtain was pulled back, and we saw so many familiar faces. Those whom had helped us get started on this journey.  But, there was one that I did not recognize, a new attending. We listened to the briefing, most of which we were all too accustomed too by now. Our hearts began beating faster, and then came to a stop.  The new doctor commented, that “It looks like Zoey did not gain any weight as expected, let’s give it another day”. In that very moment, such a level of brokenness filled me that I could feel my heart ache. But, there was something deep inside of me that rushed against the tide, aching to burst forth.  As the doctor turned to walk away, my wife began to sob next to me.

I stepped forward, my shoes resonating with military precision upon the ground.

“No.” This little word shuttered through the crowed of trained professionals like a lightning bolt. They abruptly stopped, straighten up, and turned, wide-eyed. Fumbling though the chart in his hand the doctor looked up in astonishment.  “Mr., um, Von Bank, is there a problem”? The pompous, indecisive tone that the doctor had brought whatever was inside out, full force. In a deep, calm, resonate tone I replied. “Sir, I do not know you, and you have never even met my daughter. However, for the last 11 nights I have been here. There are nurses standing all around you that can attest that I have been here and helped with every feeding, and diaper change, that has taken place. My wife and I have been trained by some of these amazing nurses in the extra care that our daughter will need to go home. However, I think that you missed something. Last night, for the first time, there was a change in plans. Something happened and the nurse was called away. Upon her arrival Zoey had already filled her diaper, and was miserable. We elected to change and weigh her before feeding her as we have every night before. Zoey was so happy that she ate more than ever after being weighed. I ask that you take another look at her chart, then look at her.  We will not be staying another day”.

Defiantly, I stood my ground and awaited his reply.

I watched as he fumbled some more with her chart. I could see that he was containing rage, and embarrassment. After a short few seconds, I could see that he found the notes. Defeated, he looked up and said “Mr. Von Bank, you are correct. My apologies. Nurses, please prep Zoey for discharge this afternoon”. He hurriedly turned to walk ways, as I stood there vindicated. Zoey’s chief nurse, the one that had been with her almost the entire time, winked at me with tear filled eyes. She mouthed the words “Good Job” as the troupe walked away to the next room. That was the moment that it all changed.  I embraced the title of Cranio Dad, but more importantly Zoey’s Dad. I became a voice for the voiceless. Five years ago today, at this very moment, I stood firmly on the ground. I spoke for the dreams that I had for my daughter, and the hopes that I had for myself as a dad. With my feet planted, holding my daughter, I looked to the stars, and found a way to steal them from the sky. To this day, five long years later, I have never stopped. Live big, love bigger, and be kind, always. http://bit.ly/2pLGGeE

How To Build A Home Garden Decking

How To Build A Home Garden Decking

1.   Submit Building Plans To Plan Review Once you have determined the basic design of your deck, you will need to work with an expert who knows code requirements, has access to span charts and can calculate loading requirements to generate a detailed and complete set of code compliant Building Plans.  Most folks use an architect, engineer or professional deck designer and build firm. Once you have these working drawings, give them to your local Plan Review for their study and comments.  Even if your locality does not need a building permit for a deck, this is still a smart move.  Your taxes pay their salaries.  Use your Building Department's Plan Review as a double-check for your set of Building Plans.  And listen to what they tell you.  Most of them are good at what they do.   2. Selecting and Ordering Materials You can pay a carpenter or a deck builder to work up a materials list for you.  It'll take 'em maybe a couple of hours depending on the size and charge you.  Or you can work it up yourself (get ready to make some return trips to the local materials supplier).  But here's a little known secret that will save you some time and trouble:  If you have good, clear Building Plans drawn up (which is very important to have if you are going to build this yourself), just take a copy down to any reputable materials supplier and ask him for an itemized quote.  He will happily give you a materials list complete with prices... free.  Why?  He wants to sell you the materials!  Now you've got a materials list and you can comparatively shop.  Some suppliers won't do it.  Good ones will.   3. Laying It All Out You must establish the exact location of each footing.  This is extremely important, so take time and care here.  There is the distance from the house and the lateral distance for each footing so you can determine the exact location for each one.  Carefully measure and mark each one with a can of spray paint.  In most cases, the ground slopes away from your house, so you cannot simply measure along the ground from the house.  You will need the exact location of each footing which by use of a measuring tape held horizontally (you may need a line level here) and a plumb bob held on the end of a string. Remember that most of the main support footings will lie on a straight line parallel to the house wall.  Before you dig, use a string to determine that the main support footings are in fact all on a straight line and equidistant from the house wall.  Another excellent double-check to ensure the line of main footings is properly spaced from your house is to lay out a rectangle with string on the ground in which the house wall forms one side, the line of main footings form the opposite side, and the two exterior footings form the two exterior corners.  Two diagonals are equidistant for this is a perfect rectangle.  If the diagonals are not equal in length, shift the line of footings right or left (keeping it parallel to the house wall) until the diagonals are exactly equal.  Then you know you have a perfect rectangle.  If your ground slopes, you will need stakes and a line level to make this work.   4. Attaching The Ledger If your deck is not free-standing (attached to the house, but not supported by the house), you will need to attach the deck to the house wall in such a way that the house supports the deck.  Attached is a board to the house called a ledger or band.  It is level and attached with 1/2" lag or carriage bolts staggered high and low and spaced according to code.  If you are attaching the ledger to a house band board ( the board that faces off the ends of the house floor joists and rests on the foundation wall), the house band board is a minimum of 1.25" thick.  Anything thinner cannot support your deck and must have solid 2x blocking inserted behind the house band, resting on the foundation wall, and toenailed to each house floor joist.  The ledger is then attached with 1/2" lags or carriage bolts through the thin plywood house band into these 2x blocks which will support the deck. If blocking behind the house band is not possible the deck elevation, dropped so that the ledger is attached to the house concrete foundation wall (use concrete expansion bolts approved by your local Building Official) or beam is to support the deck at the house wall.  In either event, be sure to run 10" or so of aluminum flashing on top of the ledger and up behind the house siding to prevent water from gaining entrance to your house.  Also be sure to run silicone caulking into every hole you make in your house wall as you attach the ledger so you seal your house against water.   5. Footings If you mess up your footings, you might as well not finish your deck because it's not worth much when you do!  First of all, dig your footings to the depth recommended by your local Plan Review.  They know the correct footing depth for your geographic area.  Don't guess.  And be sure your footing depth is deep enough that each footing will rest on solid, undisturbed (virgin) soil.  This is critical or your deck will sink.  Do not build on fill dirt.  On the other hand, if your house has been built on fill dirt, or if you have not reached solid, hard dirt in 4' or so... do not continue digging without taking proper measures to shore up the holes and prevent a dangerous cave in. It's happened where folks have lost their lives in digging too deep a footing and it caved in on them and they suffocated.  One man, I heard of was lying on his belly on the surface while using a post hole digger.  (You'd think that was safe, wouldn't you?) But he accidentally fell head first into the hole and could not work himself out for 30 long minutes.  Had there been water in the hole, he would have drowned.  His partner had left to run an errand and no one could hear his cries for help.  He backed himself out agonizing inch by agonizing inch with his toes and his fingertips.  Please don't do something dumb.  It's a deck and it's not worth dying for.  An alternative to digging past 4' feet is to call a local soil engineer and have them test each footing.  They might charge you £25 or so for each footing. But they will be able to tell you exactly how large to make each footing to sustain the weight of the deck given your soil analysis... and your local Building Official will accept their report.  Once your holes are dug and you've obtained a good footing inspection from your local Building Inspector, mix concrete in each hole (follow the directions on the bag) so that the concrete is a minimum of 8" thick and very level.  You do not want it uneven.   6. Decking Posts You can use 4x4s if your deck is low (2' or less) and if your local code permits it... but I would still recommend using 6x6s for the main support posts.  They look better and they are much easier to attach the beams to that will rest on them.  After the concrete has set, stand each 6x6 on top of the concrete footing.  Repeat the procedure under Laying It Out above for ensuring a perfect rectangle.  Use a level to plumb each post in both directions and use temporary braces to hold each post in place.  Ensure the 6x6s are on a line if they are to support the same beam. Once each of the 6x6 posts is in place and supported, run a string and a line level from the top of the ledger board to the post.  Mark each post.  This represents the top of the floor joists.  But the joists rest on a beam which rests on the 6x6. You should leave enough wood on the 6x6 so that you can use 1/2" carriage bolts to bolt through the 6x6 and through the beam thereby holding the beam on top of the 6x6.  The length of your post from the concrete to the horizontal cut  such that the beam resting on the horizontal cut with joists resting on the beam brings the top of the joists level with the top of the ledger... or perhaps a 1/2" lower than the ledger to allow for water to roll away from the house... though normally footings will sink 1/2" or so anyway.  Some localities want you to attach the posts to the concrete which you can easily do with "L" brackets.   7. Beams Cut the 6x6s with a Saw Zaw.  Make a horizontal cut (no further than needed for the beam to sit totally on the 6x6) and a vertical cut so that the 6x6 is attached to the beam with carriage bolts.  Nail your beam together according to code and insert it on and into the pockets cut into the 6x6s.  Drill holes through the 6x6 and beam and attach the beam to the 6x6 with two (2) 1/2" x 7" carriage bolts with nuts and washers.  Ensure the beam is level and the 6x6 posts are plumb.  Ensure the beam is parallel to the house and the proper distance from the house.  Once you know the beam is right, use more temporary braces and make it very secure so a man could sit on it safely. Important tip:  If you cannot make a beam of continuous 2xs, then ensure the break in the beam is over an interior 6x6 (NOT ON AN EXTERIOR 6x6).  Always ensure a break in the beam occurs directly over a post.   And attach the broken beam by running four (4) carriage bolts through the beam and 6x6 post.  Attach with nuts and washers.     8. Joists Say, you're a quick learner.  And the way you do that is by starting from the left side of the ledger and marking off where the joists will go, either 12" OC or 16" OC or 24" OC depending upon your Building Plans and code requirements.  Then do the same thing on the top of the beam.  Set the joists in place (crown up).  Most carpenters will toenail all the joists to the ledger first, then go back and install the joist hangers (putting a nail in every single hole and being sure to use joist hanger nails only).  If your deck is so far out from the house that you need two sets of floor joists, be sure to overlap the joists by about a foot on the beam, nailing them together at the overlap.  Install blocking between the floor joists around the perimeter to stiffen the outside joist for railing attachment.  Install any more blocking necessary to fulfill local code.  Nail the rim joist to the ends of the floor joists.   9. Deck Boards Everybody's a comedian.  Of course, this is important.  Lay the deck boards so that the best side is up.  Ignore whether the cup is up or down (end grain looks like a cup).  This is one of those deck building myths that well-meaning carpenters have perpetrated for years. I don't recommend you install decking parallel to the house for two reasons: Decking parallel to the house and perpendicular to the joists does nothing to keep the deck in the rack (square) so it will shake on you unless it's cross braced below. A deck board parallels to the house and up against the house wall tends to hold water against the house.  Running the decking on a diagonal keeps the deck in the rack, runs water away from the house, and looks better to boot.  Just ensure that you stick to a 45-degree angle, no more.  Running 5/4x6 pressure treated pine decking on a 45 degree diagonal between floor joists 16" OC means you will be spanning over 20" with the deck boards.  That's within the code, but it's close.  Don't go over a 45 degree, and feel free to cheat it back to a 40 degree.  You'll never see it and the decking will have very little spring in it.  Tip:  Don't want to splice the decking?  Running the decking one direction may result in splices, but the opposite direction may not.  If that doesn't work, break it up with a deck "break" board right down the middle (needs extra joist and blocking below), and run a herringbone pattern.  That way you can avoid splicing deck boards.  If you do need to splice, for heaven's sake, end the deck board in the middle of a joist so you can have something to nail to. Tip:  If you will cut the ends of the spliced deck boards on opposite angles (undercutting the one and over cutting the other), they will overlap and when they shrink, the resulting gap is not noticeable.  It's tricky but cool.  And, and if you are splicing, be sure to stagger the joints so that the splices don't line up.   10.Railings You've got to get up and build your railings!  First, you will want to secure each post (normally 4x4s) at each corner of the deck (attaching to joists perpendicular or horizontal to the house wall if possible).  Typically you will use two 1/2" carriage bolts with nuts and washers per post.  Stagger the bolts slightly off-center of the post.  Then equally space the interior posts such that you do not exceed your local code requirements (typically 5' max between railing posts).  Ensure posts are plumb in both directions.  Run the top and bottom sub-railings (normally 2x4s on edge) around the top and bottom of the posts.  We like to run them continuously where possible along the inside face of each 4x4 which adds strength to the railing.  Be sure to put a couple of 2x4 spacer blocks under each of the bottom 2x4s pieces before you nail them. Connect the tops of the posts with a 2x6 cap laid flat, continuous where possible.  Don't forget, when cutting for a 45-degree angle, you cut a 22.5 degree on each side.  But you may find it quicker and easier and more accurate to overlap the 2x6 cap pieces and simply scribe from corner to corner each board.  Then cut.  Then screw your 2x2 vertical pickets to the outside of each 2x4.  Bring the top of each picket flush under the 2x6 cap, and cut the bottom off at an angle.  Tip:  Want proper spacing of the pickets and minimize waste?  Layout each railing section for pickets as follows:  Mark the center of the top 2x4.  Measure slightly less than 2" to the right and mark and slightly less than 2" to the left and mark.  Install pickets on those marks such that the distance between them is slightly less than 4" (current code requirements in most places as of this writing).  Scribe and cut a block to this gap.  Plumb only one picket and screw it to the bottom.  Use the block to gap the other picket and attach it.  From this point on just use the block to gap each picket.  If you've spaced your 4x4s equally, the resulting gaps between 4x4 and 2x2 on each side should be equal.  And by starting in the exact center with two (not one) pickets, you will save one or two pickets on each section.   11.Tools Checklist You will need the following:  String (mason's line), line level, wheelbarrow, pencil, level, carpenter's framing square, tri-square, hammer, skill saw with carbide blade, Saw Zaw, heavy-duty drill with half-inch wood bits 10" long, hammer drill (if attaching ledger to existing poured concrete wall), adjustable wrench, chalk line, measuring tape (steel), plumb bob with string, stain and brushes.  Your friendly local materials supplier should give you the list of building materials.  Good luck!  But remember something:  No amount of coaching and reading and studying of how-to deck building manuals can prepare you for every contingency and every possible problem.  If you develop a problem or don't really know how to build a decking get in touch with someone who does.

Do You Want to Change an Important Habit?

Do you want to make a significant change in your life? Or help someone else to make an important change?

Often, this means changing a habit (get more sleep, quit sugar, exercise regularly, spend more time in nature, put down devices). Habits are like the invisible architecture of daily life — research suggests that about 40% of our existence is shaped by our habits.

In my book Better Than Before, I identify the 21 strategies that we can use to make or break our habits. (Want to see the whole list? Scroll to the bottom of this post.)

Sometimes people get a bit freaked out that there are so many strategies to choose from, but it’s helpful that so many strategies exist because some strategies work very well for some people, and not for others, and some strategies are available to us at some times in our lives, but not at other times.

The most important point? There is no magic, one-size-fits-all solution to changing habits. It turns out that it’s not that hard to change your habits, when you do it in the way that’s right for you.

To change your habits, it’s crucial to identify your Tendency. I’m obsessed with my Four Tendencies framework. It explains so much! The world is much less puzzling and frustrating to me now that I understand the Four Tendencies. When you know if you’re an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel, you’re better able to set yourself up for success. And if you’re trying to help other people to change their habits, you’re more effective. Don’t know your Tendency? Take the quiz here.

Note: While many strategies work for just about everybody (Convenience, Inconvenience, Foundation, Clean Slate, Lightning Bolt), some strategies that work very well for one Tendency can actually be counter-productive for another.

Upholder

Strategy of Scheduling. This is a powerful tool for Upholders. They love to keep a schedule and march through every item. Whatever appears on the calendar — go to the gym on Monday and Thursday, write 1,000 words every day, goof off — gets done. They can make time for every person and activity they value, by putting it on the calendar.

Strategy of Clarity. When Upholders know clearly what’s expected, they can generally meet that expectations. Very, very important to remember: Upholders can meet inner expectations, but only when those inner expectations are articulated.

Strategy of Monitoring. Upholders do well with the Strategy of Monitoring, because they tend to love to-do lists with items to check off. Monitoring plays to this inclination: “I intend to walk 10,000 steps today, and look, my monitor says I hit that number.”

Strategy of Pairing. Upholders can make good use of the Strategy of Pairing, because it’s easy for them to enforce the pairing rule on themselves. If an Upholder gets himself to go to the gym by pairing, “I can only shave on a day when I’ve gone to the gym,” he won’t have any trouble holding himself to that pairing.

Note: Because Upholders can take advantage of just about every strategy, anyone who touts a scheme or device that’s meant to help people form good habits will have some success because Upholders will tend to uphold, no matter what.

Questioner

The Strategy of Clarity is crucial for Questioners. They want to know exactly what they’re doing, and why. They won’t meet an expectation if they don’t understand the reason, so they must receive robust answers to their questions. They also must clearly see and trust the authority and expertise of the person asking them to meet that expectation.

Strategy of Monitoring. The Strategy of Monitoring is a good fit for Questioners; Questioners’ love of data means they enjoy self-monitoring. They might wear a device to track the number of steps they take; use an app to track when they take their medication, or chart what time they go to bed.

Strategy of Distinctions. The Strategy of Distinctions may resonate with Questioners, because it emphasizes that a habit should be tweaked very specifically to suit an individual’s character and idiosyncrasies — something that appeals to Questioners, who love customization. They can sometimes be convinced to try something “as an experiment.” “Why don’t you try this, you’ll find out if it works for you, and if not, you can try something else.”

Strategy of Loophole-Spotting. This is particularly important for Questioners, because it addresses a common stumbling block for Questioners: the invoking of loopholes to justify breaking a good habit. “I should exercise.” “But it’s too cold outside.” “Do my workout inside.” “But I have too much work and that takes precedence over exercise.”

Obliger

Strategy of Accountability (most important for Obligers). All Four Tendencies (even, under certain circumstances, Rebels) find accountability to be useful for developing habits, but Obligers absolutely require structures of external accountability. They need oversight, deadlines, and consequences, and the involvement of accountability partners, such as coaches, accountability groups, trainers, health navigators, friends, or their own children. Obligers often feel a powerful sense of obligation to be good role models. They can often do something for someone else that they can’t do for themselves: “Once my baby was born, I had to quit smoking.”

Strategy of Monitoring. Monitoring supports accountability, and the more Obligers monitor their behavior, the more easily accountability will attach.

Strategy of Other People. Because of the weight imposed by outer expectations, Obligers—and the people around Obligers—must take careful note of the influence of other people, for good or ill.

Strategy of Treats. All of us should use the Strategy of Treats; when we give more to ourselves, we can ask more from ourselves. Because Obligers may fall into Obliger-rebellion when they feel burned out or exploited, it’s important that they get treats as a way to energize themselves. Remember, a treat is different from a reward! Rewards are very, very tricky to use correctly. Stick with treats!

Rebel

Strategy of Identity (most important for Rebels). For Rebels, the most effective habit-change strategy is the Strategy of Identity. Because Rebels place great value on being true to themselves, they can embrace a habit if they view it as a way to express their identity.

Strategy of Clarity. This works for Rebels, because it focuses on why a habit might have personal value for them. The more Rebels think about what they want, and why they want it, the more effectively they pursue it.

Strategy of Convenience. Instead of trying to commit to scheduling a habit, Rebels often do habit-behaviors as soon as they feel like it.

Strategy of Other People. The Strategy of Other People is also a useful strategy for Rebels to consider; Rebels love doing things differently from other people. They do an obscure kind of yoga, run barefoot, exercise late at night.

Note: Rebels tend to resist if you ask or tell them to do anything. It’s very important—but challenging—to avoid setting off their spirit of resistance. Also, many of the 21 strategies that work well for other Tendencies typically don’t work for Rebels: for instance, Strategies of Scheduling, Accountability, Monitoring, or Rewards.

The 21 Strategies for Habit Change (from Better Than Before)

The Four Tendencies (subject of my forthcoming book, The Four Tendencies)

Distinctions (what works for other people may not work for you)

Monitoring

Foundation

Scheduling (this is often counter-productive for Rebels)

Accountability (Obligers! This is YOUR STRATEGY)

First Steps (be on the look out for opportunities to harness this powerful strategy)

Clean Slate (this strategy is powerful, but only available at certain times)

Lightning Bolt (it’s frustrating–this is a strategy that happens to you; you can’t invoke it)

Abstaining (this strategy works extremely well for some people, and not at all for others)

Convenience (this is the most universal strategy)

Inconvenience (twin of Convenience)

Safeguards

Loophole-Spotting (this strategy is hilarious to study)

Distractions

Reward (beware! this is a very, very tricky strategy to apply effectively)

Treats (this is definitely the most fun strategy to follow)

Pairing

Clarity

Identity (it took me a long time to realize the power of this strategy)

Other People (never overlook this strategy)

How to Create an Eye Bolt: Eye Bolt Suppliers in Mumbai

Delta Fitt Inc. is a prominent Eye Bolts Suppliers In Mumbai. Making an eye bolt from scratch is a complex manufacturing process for Eye Bolt Manufacturer in Mumbai that requires specialised equipment and materials. It's not something that can usually be done in a conventional home workshop. I can, however, give you a simplified outline of the stages required in creating an eye bolt; nevertheless, keep in mind that this is a very simplified version of the genuine industrial process.

Materials and Tools:

Steel rod or bar stock

Heat source (e.g., propane forge)

Anvil

Hammer

Tongs

Thread-cutting die and tap

Drill press

Steps:

Material Selection: Choose a suitable steel rod or bar stock. The material should be strong enough to handle the intended load. Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel.

Heating: Heat the steel rod in a propane forge or other suitable heating equipment until it reaches a malleable temperature. This is typically in the range of 1,600 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (870 to 1,200 degrees Celsius).

Forging the Eye: Once the steel is heated, place it on the anvil and use a hammer to shape one end into an eye. The eye can be round or oval, depending on your design. Continue shaping and hammering until you achieve the desired eye shape.

Cutting: After forging the eye, use a hacksaw or other cutting tool to cut the rod to the desired length for the eye bolt.

Threading the Shank: To create threads on the shank of the eye bolt, you'll need a threading die and tap. Secure the shank in a vise and carefully thread it using the die and tap. Ensure that the threading is straight and accurate.

Heat Treatment: Heat the eye bolt to a specific temperature (annealing or tempering) and then cool it slowly to improve its mechanical properties and toughness. The exact temperatures and cooling process depend on the type of steel you're using.

Surface Finish: You can choose to finish the eye bolt to enhance its resistance to corrosion. Common surface finishes include galvanization, painting, or simply cleaning and oiling the surface to prevent rust.

Quality Inspection: Thoroughly inspect the eye bolt to ensure it meets the required specifications and quality standards. Check the dimensions, threading, and overall quality.

Packaging: Once the eye bolt passes inspection, package it for storage or transportation. Packaging can include placing it in containers or bags to protect it.
