Haystacks is the common English title for a series of impressionist paintings by Claude Monet. The principal subject of each painting in the series is stacks of harvested wheat (or possibly barley or oats: the original French title, Les Meules à Giverny, simply means The Stacks at Giverny ). The title refers primarily to a twenty-five canvas ...
A plastic skid with nine legs, which can be lifted from all four sides. This type of transport is commonly called a pallet, but since it has no bottom it is technically a skid. 48 in × 40 in (122 cm × 102 cm) galvanized steel pallet. Galvanized steel pallets are fireproof and rust resistant. A pallet (also called a skid) is a flat transport ...
A stack of intermediate bulk containers. Intermediate bulk containers (also known as IBC tank, IBC tote, IBC, or pallet tank) are industrial-grade containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, semi-solids, pastes, or solids. [ 1] The two main categories of IBC tanks are flexible IBCs and rigid IBCs. [ 2]
Graphene ( / ˈɡræfiːn / [1]) is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a honeycomb [2] [3] nanostructure. [4] The name is derived from "graphite" and the suffix -ene, reflecting the fact that the graphite allotrope of carbon contains numerous double bonds. Each atom in a graphene sheet is connected to its ...
Graphite. Graphite ( / ˈɡræfaɪt /) is a crystalline form of the element carbon. It consists of stacked layers of graphene. Graphite occurs naturally and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Synthetic and natural graphite are consumed on a large scale (1.3 million metric tons per year in 2022) for uses in pencils ...
Bakelite ( / ˈbeɪkəlaɪt / BAY-kə-lyte ), formally polyoxybenzylmethyleneglycolanhydride, is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. The first plastic made from synthetic components, it was developed by Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907, and patented on ...
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS) ( chemical formula (C 8 H 8) x · (C 4 H 6) y · (C 3 H 3 N) z ) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). [4] ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the ...
A binder clip is a strip of spring steel bent into the shape of an isosceles triangle with loops at the apex. Tension along the base of the triangle forces the two sides closed, and the loops prevent the sharp steel edges from cutting into the paper. The loops also serve to hold two pieces of stiff wire, which are used as handles and allow the ...
