The grease pencil, a wax writing tool also known as a wax pencil, china marker, or chinagraph pencil (especially in the United Kingdom), is a writing implement made of hardened colored wax and is useful for marking on hard, glossy non-porous surfaces.
Using a black Royal Sovereign Chinagraph pencil I am exploring methods of blending, spreading, removing and fixing the black marks on paper, for artwork sketching and drawing. The black marks can be removed easily by washing in cold soapy water. That is not what would be expected from a wax, but is typical of an oil or grease I believe.
Dye penetrant inspection (DP), also called liquid penetrate inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics).
Nanoindentation, also called instrumented indentation testing, [1] is a variety of indentation hardness tests applied to small volumes. Indentation is perhaps the most commonly applied means of testing the mechanical properties of materials.
In its guidance for polling station staff, the Electoral Commission says people can vote with a pen or pencil. It says pencils are typically used for practical reasons – pens may dry out or ...
The dropping point test procedures are given in ASTM standards D-566 [2] and D-2265. [3] The test apparatus consists of a grease cup with a small hole in the bottom, test tube, two thermometers, a container, stirring device if required and an electric heater. The inside surfaces of the grease cup are coated with the grease to be tested.
French curves are used for drawing curves which cannot be drawn with compasses. A faint freehand curve is first drawn through the known points; the longest possible curve that coincides exactly with the freehand curve is then found out from the French curves. Finally, a neat continuous curve is drawn with the aid of the French curves.
The test method for conducting the test usually involves a specified test fixture on a universal testing machine. Details of the test preparation, conditioning, and conduct affect the test results. The sample is placed on two supporting pins a set distance apart. Calculation of the flexural stress
