  2. Stain-blocking primer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stain-blocking_primer

    The ACI is calculated based on the amount of solvent in the primer, the volume of the room to be primed, the volatility of the solvent and the amount of primer to be applied. The calculations were made based on a 3,500 square feet (330 m 2 ) room and primer with coverage of 375 ft2/gallon.

  3. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    [1] The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the detonation pressure.

  4. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

    Primer reduces the number of paint coats needed for good coverage and even color. A thin layer of paint may still be permeable to water. Water can permeate into the wood and cause warping, mildew, or dry rot. Primer improves the waterproofing of the finish. [4] Primers are not used as part of a wood stain treatment because they obscure the wood ...

  5. Brisance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisance

    Brisance (/ b r ɪ ˈ z ɑː n s /; from French briser 'break, shatter' [1]) is the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure. Application [ edit ]

  6. Gunshot residue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunshot_residue

    The persistence of OGSR is subject to environmental factors like wind as well as the substrate it clings to. [1] Organic gunshot residue can be analyzed using methods such as micellar electrokinetic capillary electrophoresis (MEKC), [ 2 ] high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry .

  7. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

  8. Grain per gallon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_per_gallon

    The grain per gallon (gpg) is a unit of water hardness defined as 1 grain (64.8 milligrams) of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1 US gallon of water (3.785412 L). It translates into 1 part in about 58,000 parts of water or 17.1 parts per million (ppm). Also called Clark degree (in terms of an imperial gallon).

  9. Trap primer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_primer

    A trap primer (or trap seal primer) is a plumbing device or valve that adds water to traps.The water seals in traps are needed to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings, but because this water is exposed to the air, it is subject to evaporation over time in infrequently used floor drains, leading to the release of sewer gas into the environment.
