.~ Including distortion or deformation of work {1}
17
.~.~ Produced by temperature change, centrifugal force, or fluid pressure shock
DEFINITION
Classification: 134/17
(under subclass 16) Processes which include distorting the work by temperature change, centrifugal force, or fluid pressure caused shock or vibration.
(1) Note. The temperature change may be due to the temperature of the applied treating fluids, and shock or vibration is due to suddenly applied fluid pressure or water hammer.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
19+, for heating processes with or without the application of treating fluids at a temperature different from the work, when the process is not so carried out as to cause significant distortion or deformation of the work.
26+, for application of diverse, sequential treating fluids to the work, and in which the difference between sequential fluids may be temperature where the operation is not so carried out as to cause significant distortion or deformation of the work.
32+, for processes which include imparting motion to the work for purposes other than distorting or deforming.
