  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Slope may still be expressed when the horizontal run is not known: the rise can be divided by the hypotenuse (the slope length). This is not the usual way to specify slope; this nonstandard expression follows the sine function rather than the tangent function, so it calls a 45 degree slope a 71 percent grade instead of a 100 percent. But in ...

  3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    In plumbing, the term "45-degree elbow" for example, refers to the angle of bend from the original straight pipe position (0 degrees) to the new position (45 degrees), not the actual angle formed by the joint. On a protractor, the actual angle of the above joint is 135 degrees, an obtuse angle.

  4. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    For common tape measurements, the tape used is a steel tape with coefficient of thermal expansion C equal to 0.000,011,6 units per unit length per degree Celsius change. This means that the tape changes length by 1.16 mm per 10 m tape per 10 °C change from the standard temperature of the tape.

  5. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimp_(joining)

    Crimp tool for 0.14 mm 2 to 10 mm 2 (26–8 AWG) insulated and non-insulated ferrules. Crimping is a method of joining two or more pieces of metal or other ductile material by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp. [1] [2] Crimping tools are used to create crimps.

  6. Street elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_elbow

    Street elbows are available with bend angles of 90°, 45°, and 22.5°. They can be used in many plumbing applications, including water supply, drainage, sewers, vents, central vacuum systems, compressed air and gas lines, heating and air conditioning, sump pump drains, and other locations where plumbing fittings would be used to join sections of pipe.

  7. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

    Effective crimp connections deform the metal of the connector past its yield point so that the compressed wire causes tension in the surrounding connector, and these forces counter each other to create a high degree of static friction. Due to the elastic element in crimped connections, they are highly resistant to vibration and thermal shock. [39]

  8. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

    Modern IDC technology developed after and was influenced by research on wire-wrap and crimp connector technology originally pioneered by Western Electric, Bell Telephone Labs, and others. [3] Although originally designed to connect only solid (single-stranded) conductors, IDC technology was eventually extended to multiple-stranded wire as well.
