Auto Engine Manifold Made of High-Heat Nylon.While almost all plastic engine manifolds in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. are injection molded of glass-reinforced nylon 66, some manifolds in Europe have been molded of Stanyl nylon 46, an exclusive product of DSM 1. DSM - Data Structure Manager. An object-oriented language by J.E. Rumbaugh and M.E. Loomis of GE, similar to C++. It is used in implementation of CAD/CAE software. DSM is written in DSM and C and produces C as output. of the Netherlands (parent of DSM Engineering Plastics, Evansville, Ind.) Stanyl is used where manifold temperatures can reach 375-390 F, at which other nylons either do not perform adequately or would require thicker walls. Stanyl can even withstand short-term exposure near to its melting point melting point, temperature at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid. Under standard atmospheric pressure different pure crystalline solids will each melt at a different specific temperature; thus melting point is a characteristic of a substance and of 554 F, thus avoiding the need for a heat shield. The latest example of this application is a 30% glass-filled nylon 46 air-intake manifold for the Ford Transit The Ford Transit is a range of panel vans, minibuses and pickup trucks, produced by the Ford Motor Company in Europe. The Transit has been the best-selling light commercial vehicle in Europe for 40 years, and in some countries the term "Transit" has passed into common usage minivan in the U.K. It is molded in two pieces by Siemens Automotive of Telford, U.K., and then vibration welded. |
