Blowpipe missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blowpipe is a man-portable surface-to-air missile which was in use with the British Army and Royal Marines from 1968. Blowpipe was replaced by Javelin, which is of a very similar design but improved in performance and with a semi-automatic guidance system - the operator now controls the missile by keeping the target in the sight crosswires and the unit steers the missile to the sight. Blowpipe missile systems are still being found in weapon caches as recently as June 2003 in Afghanistan [4] [5]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blowpipe_missile   (535 words)

Blowpipe missile - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Blowpipe is a man-portable surface-to-air missile which was in use with the British Army. The failure of Blowpipe (a system which had been available on the international arms market and was therefore 'plausibly deniable') in Afghanistan led to the supply of the more capable (but restricted in availability) U.S. Stinger system. Blowpipe is a mach 1.5 missile of 3.5km range. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /blowpipe_missile.htm   (152 words)

Hare in 1801, is an instrument in which oxygen and hydrogen, taken from separate reservoirs, in the proportions of two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen, are burned in a jet, under pressure. {Blowpipe reaction} (Chem.), the characteristic behavior of a substance subjected to a test by means of the blowpipe. www.hyperdictionary.com /dictionary/blowpipe   (224 words)

Blowpipe for Windows PCs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Blowpipe enables rapid sizing of pipes in a wide range of pipework materials, fluid temperatures and additives. Blowpipe also enables rapid calculation of the head loss in complete pipework systems, either for an index run or for a complete system. Blowpipe operates in either metric or imperial units, using calculation methods common to both UK and USA, and with international pipe data. www.silverglance.com /HVAC_Software_PC/blowpipePC.htm   (75 words)

Mineralogy: A history of blowpipe analysis by Martin on 4/21/2002 The blowpipe only became known in assaying and in mineral analysis around 1670, which was a turning point in chemical science when alchemy was dying out and chemistry was developing into a true science. As for the blowpipe, its earliest recorded uses in mineralogy were that of Robert Hooke in 1663, and that of Erasmus Bartholin in 1669 or 1670. The blowpipe was instrumental in the discovery of several of the elements, as by such a notable as the famous Berzelius who standardized our chemical system of notation. www.rockhounds.com /rocknet/archive/messages/17714.shtml   (1363 words)

Pontil Scars A pontil rod held the bottle during the steps in the bottle blowing process where the blowpipe is removed (cracked-off) from the bottle and that break-off point is "finished", i.e. The likely commonest method was that the blown bottle was laid on a V-shaped table or structure, the blowpipe removed (cracked-off or sheared) from the bottle neck, the remaining glass around the end of the same blowpipe reheated, and then quickly reattached to the bottle base. When a blowpipe was used as a pontil, it left behind a distinctive ring shaped scar that is usually sharp edged, round to slightly oval, with a hollow in the middle that is roughly the size of the bottles orifice (circumstantial proof that one blowpipe was usually used for both blowing and empontilling). www.blm.gov /historic_bottles/pontil_scars.htm   (4085 words)

Blowpipe Assaying Strictly speaking it cannot be said that the art of assaying with the blowpipe is a recent achievement. To some or all of these objectionable features may be attributed the cause of the disuse of quantitative blowpipe methods in recent years.

Corning Museum of Glass | Resource on Glass | Tools of the Glassmaker The most important tool is the Blowpipe, a hollow metal tube of iron or steel, usually 4 to 5 feet long, wider and slightly flared at the gathering end. After warming the pipe in the furnace (sometimes called the "glory hole"or reheating unit) so that the glass will adhere better, the glassmaker slowly twists the flared end in molten glass to collect the "gob" or "gather." The blowpipe is constantly rotated to keep the hot glass from sagging or moving off center. The punty is used to add small amounts or "bits" of glass for handles or decorations and to hold an object after it has been removed from the blowpipe. www.cmog.org /index.asp?pageId=703   (539 words)

Rocky Mountain Highland Supply It is commonly used in the blowpipe mouthpieces, chanters, and practice chanters because of its durability and consistency. As with the drone stock joints, the blowpipe stock joint should be snug enough so that the blowpipe cannot be twisted in the stock with the thumb and two fingers of each hand. This is usually done by removing all of the drones, the chanter, and blowpipe from their respective stocks, sealing the stocks with corks or rubber stoppers (except for one), and filling the bag with the contents of a bottle or can of seasoning through the open stock. www.rmhs.com /catalog/information.php?osCsid=ff3d89ccab0432edb11ec512e8263609   (3109 words)

Glassblower.Info - Photographic Glossary of the Glassblower So, you can cool the blowpipe in several different ways, depending on the studio: with some wet newspaper, or with a wooden pipe cooler box containing water from a barrel, or in the more sophisticated studios, a foot-activated pipe cooler such as is seen here at Studio B at the Corning Museum of Glass. The blowpipe sits in the grooves in the topmost portion of the pipe cooler, and when the foot pedal is activated, a small fountain of water shoots up to cool the blowpipe. It is recommended that you cool the blowpipe moving from the middle of the blowpipe towards the end, as this tends to "push" the heat away from the portion of the pipe that you use/hold. www.glassblower.info /glossary.html   (5306 words)

"Kitchen Pipe" - Special Instructions for current owners of J. Dunbar Millennium 2000 Practice Chanters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Thus, in order for the Dunbar reed-cap to function properly as the blowpipe for the Kitchen Pipe, it is necessary to enlarge the airway. This is necessary because if one tries to begin from the top, at the point where the blowpipe is held in the mouth, there is a good chance of making a mess of the hole while starting the drill-bit into it. We have noted that if the blowpipe is cold, the Delrin may chip as the drill emerges. www.hotpipes.com /kpipe2.html   (826 words)

Bottle Finishes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Once removed from the blowpipe and annealed, the rough top surface of the lip/finish was ground down flat to "finish" the bottle and sometimes to facilitate closure sealing. Once the blowpipe was removed from the bottle, the hot glass at the removal point was reheated as necessary then either rolled/folded into the bore of the bottle or folded out onto the extreme upper neck, to smooth out and form the lip. Once the blowpipe was severed from the bottle neck, the finish was shape formed and made smooth and precise by the reheating or re-firing of the end of the neck and hand or mechanical tooling to shape (Deiss 1981, Roller 1983). www.blm.gov /historic_bottles/finishes.htm   (12392 words)
