Prepping the seams on a Metal Roof Prior to the Application of a Roof Coating Top coating a commercial flat roof with a cool roof test. Roof coatings are easy to install. Smaller roofs in good, serviceable condition can be a weekend do-it-yourself (DIY) project. Larger roofs with leaks and ponding water issues should be coated by a qualified ...
Concrete carbonation can be visually revealed by applying a phenolphthalein solution over the fresh surface of a concrete samples (concrete core, prism, freshly fractured bar). Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator , whose color turns from colorless at pH < 8.5 to pink-fuchsia at pH > 9.5.
The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).
There are two common methods to manufacture diamond grinding cup wheels: hot pressing and cold pressing. The hot pressing method is to directly sinter the diamond segments in molds under a certain pressure in the dedicated sintering press machine, and then fix or connect the diamond segments onto the grinding wheel’s body via high-frequency welding, laser welding or mechanical mosaic method.
Most coatings to some extent protect the substrate, such as maintenance coatings for metals and concrete. [8] A decorative coating can offer a particular reflective property, such as high gloss, satin, matte, or flat appearance. [9] A major coating application is to protect metal from corrosion.
The inner raceway of this roller bearing has been burnished by the bearing's rollers.. Burnishing is the plastic deformation of a surface due to sliding contact with another object.
Polished concrete may be considered a form of sustainable design flooring, if less material is used than in comparable types of flooring. [citation needed] Polished concrete floors have the following advantages: low-maintenance [7] – polished concrete is easily maintained with the use of clean water or a neutral pH cleaner. The application of ...
High-reflection (HR) coatings work the opposite way to antireflection coatings. The general idea is usually based on the periodic layer system composed from two materials, one with a high index, such as zinc sulfide ( n =2.32) or titanium dioxide ( n =2.4), and one with a low index, such as magnesium fluoride ( n =1.38) or silicon dioxide ( n ...
