Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson vacuums equipment on the International Space Station. Train-mounted vacuum system for track cleaning (France) The performance of a vacuum cleaner can be measured by several parameters: Airflow, in litres per second [l/s] or cubic feet per minute (CFM or ft 3 /min) Air speed, in metres per second [m/s] or miles per ...
Thermoplastic road marking paint, also called hot melt marking paint, is a kind of powder paint. When applied as road surface markings, a hot melt kettle is used to heat it to 200 °C (392 °F) to melt the powder, after which it is sprayed on the road surface.

Lead evaluations of paint are usually performed by a field testing method known as X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) using equipment which can effectively detect lead. XRF is the preferred method because it is not destructive and a reading is usually obtained in about 4–8 seconds with a 95% accuracy at the 2-sigma level.
