Door system having sound control and RF shielding and methods of making same
A door system and a method of making a door system including a metal door, a metal door frame for the metal door, and one or more door frame seals. The metal door and the metal door frame each include a steel outer surface with a first metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the steel outer surface, and a second metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the first metal layer. The first metal layer is different from the second metal layer. The first metal layer can be optional. The door frame seals are located on the metal door frame and provide conductivity between the metal door and the metal door frame. The door system preferably has an acceptable sound transmission class rating and RF shielding properties.
Security Screen Assembly
A security screen assembly for a door or window is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a frame with a reinforced lip, a mesh, a plastic insulator to insulate the frame from the mesh and a retaining wedge to hold the mesh in the frame. The characterising feature is that the mesh has cut and punched indentations which abut against the reinforced lip within the plastic insulator to prevent the mesh being withdrawn from the frame once the retaining wedge is in place.

A door slab is formed of reaction-injected-molded aliphatic polyurethane having an outward face, and inward face, and a peripheral edge, with a window opening formed therethrough. A ballistic glass-clad polycarbonate laminate window is provided which sized larger than the window opening. The laminate window having a central light transmissive region and an outer boarder region. A primer is applied to the outer boarder region of outward and inward faces of the laminate window. The door slab is reaction-injected-molded about the laminate window with the outer boarder region extending into and is bonded to a portion of the door slab forming the window opening. The preferred door in mounted to a structure in an outwardly opening manor with a seal entrapped between the periphery of the door and a door jam.
Fractionation tray having a manway unit
A fractionation tray includes a manway unit positioned to cover a manway opening in the fractionation tray. The manway opening is framed by one or more fractionation tray panels having apertures therethrough adjacent to the manway opening. The manway unit includes a first manway panel having: perforations for the passage of fluid; first and second opposing side edges and two opposing end edges; and finger elements extending from the second side edge. The finger elements of the second side edge are received within the apertures adjacent to a first side of the manway opening. The manway unit is configured to open and close by rotation of the finger elements within the apertures.
