Automobiles today are not just mere
transport mediums; they are super fast, super comfortable and super
attractive. There are cars expensive enough to drain out your entire
life savings and there are cars that will make you scream with ecstasy
when you pump the accelerator and feel the smooth and powerful engine
under you command. Not to forget, the luxuries these cars bring seem to
be a lot better than even the most expensive 5 star suite sofa.
Manufacturing
these marvels is a marvelous combination of highly skilled engineering
and art. The streamlined body of the automobile jam packed with
technology, comfort and safety is something to be proud of being alive
in this century. But have you ever wondered about the tough and tiring
process manufacturers and their staff has to undergo while building a
dream machine? Covering the entire topic would take enormous research
and writing but we’ll just discuss the one point of safety here, making
the car completely air proof and friction free.
The process
begins by adoption of the method of checking air leaks from the maritime
industry. The process is widely known as checking the
tightness of hatch with ultrasound.
Ensuring that the automobile is completely sealed and free from any
kind of air leakage is the top most safety issue. Unless the automobile
has no opening to let even a molecule of air to get inside unwontedly,
the automobile would never be able to maintain control at top speeds.
The air getting inside from any corner would be pushing the automobile
to the opposite side and the driver would have to fight an external
force which is unseen but felt harshly.
Braking at top speed
requires the car to be in a direction that does not cause it to skid or
spin involuntarily. Skidding and spinning can cause it to crash horribly
causing damages to even death of the people inside. This is the reason
why it has become extremely necessary to maintain total vacuum between
the inside and outside of the car. When the automobile is completed and
all the fittings have been installed, the car is sent finally to be
tested for the
hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing.
This test proves that the car is free from any kind of leaks and that
it complies with all the safety standards. After the approval from
testing the car is sent to its owner who can enjoy rides at the speed of
his choice.
