  2. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    The function of a vapor barrier is to retard the migration of water vapor. A vapor barrier is not typically intended to retard the migration of air. This is the function of air barriers. [8] Air is mixed with water vapor. When air moves from location to location due to an air pressure difference, the vapor moves with it.

  3. Go equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_equipment

    Commonly used shell and slate Go stone thicknesses are size 32 (8.8 mm) and size 33 (9.2 mm) for most individuals and size 36 (10.1 mm) for professionals. Stones thicker than 10.1 mm are difficult to place on the board, while many Go players prefer stones that are 8.8 and 9.2 mm thick, considering these the optimum thickness for aesthetic and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_board

    Typical cement fiber board is made of approximately 40-60% of cement, 20-30% of fillers, 8-10% of cellulose, 10-15% of mica. Other additives like above mentioned aluminium stearate and PVA are normally used in quantities less than 1%. Cenospheres are used only in low density boards with quantities between 10 and 15%.

  5. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

    For example, the effect of temperature on the permeability can be as high as 10% per °C, making it possible that MVTR results achieved at 23°C and 37°C can differ by a factor 4. The most common international unit for the MVTR is g/m 2 /day, or " metric perm ".

  6. Housewrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housewrap

    Housewrap (or house wrap), also known by the genericized trademark homewrap (or home wrap), generally denotes a modern synthetic material used to protect buildings. Housewrap functions as a weather-resistant barrier , preventing rain or other forms of moisture from getting into the wall assembly while allowing water vapor to pass to the exterior.

  7. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    Evaporative deposition: the material to be deposited is heated to a high vapor pressure by electrical resistance heating in "high" vacuum. [4] [5] Close-space sublimation, the material, and substrate are placed close to one another and radiatively heated. Pulsed laser deposition: a high-power laser ablates material from the target into a vapor.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_barrier

    Air barrier products may take several forms: Mechanically-attached membranes, also known as housewraps, usually a polyethylene-fiber or spun-bonded polyolefin, such as Tyvek is a generally accepted moisture barrier and an air barrier (ASTM E2178). Self-adhered membranes, which are typically also a water-resistant barrier and a vapor barrier
