2. Glass-to-metal seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-to-metal_seal

   Gallium is a soft metal with melting point at 30 °C. It readily wets glasses and most metals and can be used for seals that can be assembled/disassembled by just slight heating. It can be used as a liquid seal up to high temperatures or even at lower temperatures when alloyed with other metals (e.g. as galinstan). [8]

3. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcrystalline_wax

   Typical microcrystalline wax crystal structure is small and thin, making them more flexible than paraffin wax. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations. [2] Microcrystalline waxes when produced by wax refiners are typically produced to meet a number of ASTM specifications. These include congeal point (ASTM D938), needle penetration (ASTM ...

4. Closet flange - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closet_flange

   In plumbing, a closet flange (also known as a toilet flange) is a pipe fitting (specifically, a type of flange) that both mounts a toilet to the floor and connects the closet bend to a drain pipe. The name comes from the term "water closet", the traditional name for a toilet. Closet flanges are typically made of brass, cast iron, ABS, PVC, and ...

5. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

   Refractory metals have high melting points, with tungsten and rhenium the highest of all elements, and the other's melting points only exceeded by osmium and iridium, and the sublimation of carbon. These high melting points define most of their applications. All the metals are body-centered cubic except rhenium which is hexagonal close-packed.

6. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

   Plastics and low-melting-temperature metals, including many solders, can begin to creep at room temperature. Glacier flow is an example of creep processes in ice. [3] The effects of creep deformation generally become noticeable at approximately 35% of the melting point (in Kelvin) for metals and at 45% of melting point for ceramics. [4]

7. Hermetic seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_seal

   A taper-joint stopper with PTFE Sealing Ring. Optical transparency of the narrow sealing ring pressured by glass joint (right). Glass taper joints can be sealed hermetically with PTFE sealing rings (high vacuum tight, air leakage rate 10 −6 mBar × L/sec and below), [ 6 ] o-rings (optionally encapsulated o-rings), or PTFE sleeves, [ 7 ...

9. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

   The wax is solid at low temperatures, and as the engine heats up, the wax melts and expands. The sealed chamber operates a rod which opens a valve when the operating temperature is exceeded. The operating temperature is fixed, but is determined by the specific composition of the wax, so thermostats of this type are available to maintain ...
