Industry:Mining
A hydrous phosphate of calcium, sodium, and potassium; hexagonal; crystalline crusts and minute crystals; grayish- to greenish-white. The mineral from Dehrn, Nassau, Germany, is richer in sodium, conforming nearly to the formula 7CaO.Na<sub>2</sub>O.2P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>.H<sub>2</sub>O , whereas the mineral found near Fairfield, UT is described as 14CaO.2(Na,K)<sub>2</sub>O.4P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>3(H<sub>2</sub>O,CO<sub>2</sub>) .
Industry:Mining
A hydrous silicate of beryllium, Be<sub>3</sub>SiO<sub>4</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>.H<sub>2</sub>O , as an alteration product of epididymite.
Industry:Mining
A hygrometer held on a short length of cord and whirled around, the observer standing sideways to the air current. The wet bulb is thereby rapidly reduced to its final reading.
Industry:Mining
A hygrometer in which the two thermometers are mounted side by side on a brass frame and fitted with a loose handle so that it can be whirled in the atmosphere to be tested. The instrument is whirled at some 200 rpm for about 1 min and the readings on the wetand dry-bulb thermometers recorded; used in conjunction with Glaisher's or Marvin's hygrometrical tables. It gives more consistent and accurate results than the ordinary instrument.
