  2. Pressure washing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_washing

    A pressure washer is used to remove old paint from a boat. Patio flagstones being pressure washed using a rotary nozzle. Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces.

  3. Spray painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_painting

    Like HVLP, low volume low pressure (LVLP) spray guns also operate at a lower pressure (LP), but they use a low volume (LV) of air when compared to conventional and HVLP equipment. This is a further effort at increasing the transfer efficiency (amount of coating that ends up on the target surface) of spray guns while decreasing the amount of ...

  4. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

    Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

    10 kPa 1.5 psi Pressure increase per meter of a water column [26]: 10 kPa 1.5 psi Decrease in air pressure when going from Earth sea level to 1000 m elevation [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satiety_value

    low in glycemic index (in which the carbohydrates take longer to digest) - e.g. oats; high in fibre (which takes longer to digest than low fibre foods) - e.g. fruit; low in calories - e.g. vegetables; solid (which takes longer to digest than liquid foods, though liquids have high satiety for a short period) [9]

  7. Goff–Gratch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goff–Gratch_equation

    The saturation with respect to water cannot be measured much below –50 °C, so manufacturers should use one of the following expressions for calculating saturation vapour pressure relative to water at the lowest temperatures – Wexler (1976, 1977), [1] [2] reported by Flatau et al. (1992)., [3] Hyland and Wexler (1983) or Sonntag (1994 ...

  8. Bresle method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresle_method

    The solubility in water depends on the type of salt. Sodium chloride can be dissolved in cold water to a concentration of 357 g∙l −1. Not only solubility differs between salts but also the conductivity. When performing a Bresle method test, not only sodium chloride is dissolved but also all other salts present on the surface.

  9. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    The solvent also modifies the curing rate and viscosity of the paint in its liquid state. There are two types of paint: solvent-borne and water-borne paints. Solvent-borne paints use organic solvents as the primary vehicle carrying the solid components in a paint formulation, whereas water-borne paints use water as the continuous medium.
