Printed circuit board

In the control room: PCBs and resistors Reading

1

Read this explanation of PCBs. PCBs Refinery control rooms contain a lot of complex electrical equipment. Technicians look after this equipment. Sometimes technicians repair printed circuit boards, or PCBs.

look after=take care tiny smaller than small

Look at the resistors on this PCB.

The colour bands show the value of the resistor in ohms (Q). Ten different colours represent the numbers O to 9. The first two bands are the first two digits of the resistance. The third band is the multiplier. The multiplier tells you the number of zeroes to add after the first two digits. The final band is the tolerance. On the resistor shown above, orange = 3, orange = 3, black = O, so the resistance is 33 Q.

The largest tank we have is 34,000 gallons. Here it is on the right. Here you can see the bullet tanks, which we use for LPG. The longest we have is 18 metres. The shortest is 6 metres. The pressure in the LPG

tanks is normally around 5 bar. This is much higher than in the fue! oil tanks. Propane and butane are both heavier than air, so leaks can be a problem. The gas does not go away.
