Disclaimer
The calculator does not replace a cleaning trial or a written release from the
chemical supplier. It shows orders of magnitude and rankings: which lever acts
more strongly than which, and how far a condition is from the specification. Anyone
who designs a plant, fixes a cycle time or releases a batch on the strength of it
does so on their own responsibility.
Why this restriction is technically necessary
It is not a formality. The underlying model has limits that can be named, and knowing
them is what makes the calculator usable properly:
- The characteristic values stored for each type of grease are guide values from
the literature, not natural constants. They depend on the combination of
grease, cleaner and surface, and would have to be measured for each plant.
- The model knows no thresholds: the melting point of a grease, the
cavitation threshold, an optimum concentration. Reality jumps at those points while
the calculation carries on smoothly.
- It covers neither immersion and withdrawal nor the age of the soil, and in
practice either can account for the larger part of the result.
- It does not apply to particulate cleanliness to VDA 19.1 / ISO 16232.
- The substrate limits are guide values. In case of doubt the chemical
supplier's release applies, not this application.
This is set out in full under Formulae,
in the section “Where the model ends”.
Content and links
The content has been prepared with care. No warranty is given as to its correctness,
completeness or currency. No liability is accepted for damage arising from its use or
non-use, to the extent permitted by law.
The standards and sources named serve to place the subject in context. The current
edition of the standard in question always takes precedence.
Privacy
This application gets by on very little data. What follows describes what it
actually does, not what such texts usually say.
What does not happen
- No IP addresses are stored by the application.
- No analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising, no disclosure to third
parties.
- No external resources. Fonts, styling and graphics are all held on the
same server. Opening a page establishes no connection to any outside provider, not
to font services and not to map services.
- The values entered are not transmitted to anyone. They are calculated on
the server and displayed again, and that is all.
What does occur
- Session cookie
- A technically necessary cookie holding a random identifier. It contains no
personal details and serves to protect forms against misuse from other sites. It
expires as soon as the browser is closed. No consent is required for it.
- Language cookie
- Switching the language at the top right sets a cookie that records that choice
and nothing else, for one year, with no identifier and no recognition value. It
is technically necessary within the meaning of the law and therefore needs no
consent. Anyone who never switches never receives it.
- Values in the address bar
- The values entered appear in the page address, so that a result can be passed
on as a link. They therefore also appear in the history of your own browser.
- Saved cases
- Pressing “Save as case” in the calculator stores the figures entered and the
name you gave them on the server. These cases are visible to everyone who uses
the application. They are not private storage. If you would rather not
have customer names there, use neutral descriptions. Every case can be deleted
again at any time on the “Saved cases” page.
- Offline storage
- For use without a network connection the browser keeps a copy of the pages on
your own device. That copy never leaves the device and can be removed through the
browser settings.
- Server log
- As with any website, the web server records technical accesses. That happens at
the infrastructure provider and not within this application. Server location:
.
Your rights
For information, correction or deletion, a message to AUSFUELLEN: mail@beispiel.ch is
enough. Since the application collects no details about individual people of its own
accord, this normally concerns only the cases you saved yourself, and those can be
removed directly on the “Saved cases” page.
In Switzerland the basis is the revised Data Protection Act (revDSG). Where the
application is offered to users in the EU, the GDPR applies in addition. This text
describes how data flows through the application; it is not legal advice and, in case
of doubt, does not replace a review by a lawyer.
