  2. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Thermally processed material is usually totally amorphous, [7] and as a result is highly transparent to visible light, with better light transmission than many kinds of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of about 147 °C (297 °F), [8] so it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 155 °C (311 °F). [9]

  3. Permeability (porous media) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(porous_media)

    The name honors the French Engineer Henry Darcy who first described the flow of water through sand filters for potable water supply. Permeability values for most materials commonly range typically from a fraction to several thousand millidarcys. The unit of square centimetre (cm 2) is also sometimes used (1 cm 2 = 10 −4 m 2 ≈ 10 8 d).

  4. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

    Although single layer polycarbonate sheeting is more flexible than polycarbonate in twinwall configuration, it still retains significant advantages over alternative materials, including glass. A typical 6mm sheet has a density of 0.72 g/cm^2 [ 6 ] and a thermal insulation R value of 0.3 m^2°C/W, while allowing 80% of visible light pass through ...

  5. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Using the number density as a function of spatial coordinates, the total number of objects N in the entire volume V can be calculated as = (,,), where dV = dx dy dz is a volume element. If each object possesses the same mass m 0 , the total mass m of all the objects in the volume V can be expressed as m = ∭ V m 0 n ( x , y , z ) d V ...

  6. Twaddell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twaddell_scale

    The Twaddell scale is a hydrometer scale used for measuring the specific gravity of liquids relative to water. On this scale, a specific gravity of 1.000 is reported as 0, and a specific gravity of 2.000 is reported as 200. [ 1 ]

  7. Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic...

    FRP tanks and vessels designed as per BS 4994 are widely used in the chemical industry in the following sectors: chlor-alkali manufacturers, fertilizer, wood pulp and paper, metal extraction, refining, electroplating, brine, vinegar, food processing, and in air pollution control equipment, especially at municipal waste water treatment plants and water treatment plants.

  8. Plastic pipework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pipework

    Plastic Pipe lengths manufactured in Australia by extruding HDPE material.. Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic.It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.

  9. Glycerol-1,2-carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol-1,2-carbonate

    Biodegradable, water-soluble and non-flammable polycarbonate homopolymers are formed when glycerol-1,2-carbonate is heated to 140 °C in the presence of zinc sulfate, Synthesis from Polyglycerincarbonates. and with excess glycerin, copolymers which might find application as lubricants, detergents, drilling aids, and so forth.
