  2. 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene

    R-1234yf is also a component of zeotropic refrigerant blend R-454B. HFO-1234yf has a GWP less than carbon dioxide, [4] [2] itself 1,430 times less potent than R-134a. [5] For this reason, 2,3,3,3‑tetrafluoropropene is the pre-eminent replacement for R-134a in vehicular air conditioners. As of 2022, 90% of new U.S. vehicles are estimated to ...

  3. List of refrigerants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refrigerants

    According to ASHRAE standard 34, the R-number of a chemical refrigerant is assigned systematically according to its molecular structure and has between two and four digits. If there are carbon -carbon multiple bonds , there are four digits in all: the number of these bonds is the first digit and the number of carbon atoms minus one (C-1) is next.

    trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E), R-1234ze(E)) is a hydrofluoroolefin. It was developed as a "fourth generation" refrigerant to replace fluids such as R-134a, as a blowing agent for foam and aerosol applications, and in air horns and gas dusters. [3] The use of R-134a is being phased out because of its high global warming ...

  5. R-454B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-454B

    Because of its reduced global warming potential (GWP), R-454B is intended to be an alternative to refrigerant R-410A in new equipment. [2] [3] [4] R-454B has a GWP of 466, which is 78 percent lower than R-410A's GWP of 2088. [2] R-454B is non-toxic and mildly flammable, with an ASHRAE safety classification of A2L. In the United States, it is ...

    Barbara Haviland Minor is an American chemical engineer, known for the development of refrigerants.She was technical leader for chemical company DuPont in the development of R-1234yf, [1] a refrigerant which, as of 2018, was used in 50% of all new vehicles produced by original equipment manufacturers, [2] and which represented an important contribution to countering global warming.

  7. Ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_Thickness...

    The ability to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the test piece, offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Paint thickness gauges, ultrasonic coating thickness gauges, digital thickness gauges and many more options are available to test plastics, glass, ceramics, metal and other materials.

  8. Battery nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_nomenclature

    As well as the recommended size code definitions there are also ten modifying suffix letters that can be added to the end of the specific size code. These run from A to L (omitting F and I) and depending on the largest dimension of the battery can either signify 0.0 – 0.9 mm maximum dimensions or 0.00 – 0.09 mm maximum dimensions with A ...

  9. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Oblong plates are similarly notched. Rolling mill gauges are also oblong in form. Many gauges are made with a wedge-like slot into which the wire is thrust; one edge being graduated, the point at which the movement of the wire is arrested gives its size. The graduations are those of standard wire, or in thousandths of an inch.
