Sentences with BOREHOLE (5)
Firedamp Testing Station] In the backing wall was fitted a large mortar of cast steel, which in carrying out the tests served to replace the borehole used in actual mining operations.
The borehole is charged with the explosive to be fired, and the temperature is regulated by means of the steam pipe.
The water-tight lining may be either a wrought iron tube, which is pressed down by jack screws as the borehole advances, or cast iron tubbing put together in short complete rings, in contradistinction to the old plan of building them up of segments.
The tubbing, which is considerably less in diameter than the borehole, is suspended by rods from the surface until a bed suitable for a foundation is reached, upon which a sliding length of tube, known as the moss box, bearing a shoulder, which is filled with dried moss, is placed.
The interval between the back of the tubbing and the sides of the borehole is then filled up with concrete, which on setting fixes the tubbing firmly in position.
