  2. Corrugated galvanised iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_galvanised_iron

    Corrugated galvanised iron (CGI) or steel, colloquially corrugated iron (near universal), wriggly tin (taken from UK military slang), pailing (in Caribbean English), corrugated sheet metal (in North America), zinc (in Cyprus and Nigeria) or custom orb / corro sheet (Australia), is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanised ...

  3. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. The coils are formed by running a continuous sheet of metal through a roll slitter. In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its ...

    3.5 cm – width of film commonly used in motion pictures and still photography; 3.78 cm – amount of distance the Moon moves away from Earth each year [114] 4.3 cm – minimum diameter of a golf ball [115] 5 cm – usual diameter of a chicken egg; 5 cm – height of a hummingbird, the smallest-known bird; 5.08 cm – 2 inches,

  5. Fractionating column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionating_column

    The design and operation of a fractionating column depends on the composition of the feed as well as the composition of the desired products. Given a simple, binary component feed, analytical methods such as the McCabe–Thiele method [5] [8] [9] or the Fenske equation [5] can be used. For a multi-component feed, simulation models are used both ...

  6. Metal matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_matrix_composite

    In materials science, a metal matrix composite (MMC) is a composite material with fibers or particles dispersed in a metallic matrix, such as copper, aluminum, or steel. The secondary phase is typically a ceramic (such as alumina or silicon carbide ) or another metal (such as steel [ 1 ] ).

    Sheets of EPS are commonly packaged as rigid panels (common in Europe is a size of 100 cm x 50 cm, usually depending on an intended type of connection and glue techniques, it is, in fact, 99.5 cm x 49.5 cm or 98 cm x 48 cm; less common is 120 x 60 cm; size 4 by 8 ft (1.2 by 2.4 m) or 2 by 8 ft (0.61 by 2.44 m) in the United States). Common ...

  8. Sand casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_casting

    Any cores are set in place and the mold is closed. The molten metal is poured while the cope and drag are still under a vacuum, because the plastic vaporizes but the vacuum keeps the shape of the sand while the metal solidifies. When the metal has solidified, the vacuum is turned off and the sand runs out freely, releasing the casting. [9] [10]

  9. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    Drill bit sizes are written as irreducible fractions. So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths).
