  2. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    American Wire Gauge ( AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258. [1] The cross-sectional area of each gauge is an important factor for ...

  3. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    In commerce, the sizes of wire are estimated by devices, also called gauges, which consist of plates of circular or oblong form having notches of different widths around their edges to receive wire and sheet metals of different thicknesses. Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is stated to ...

  4. Janka hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janka_hardness_test

    The Janka hardness test ( English: / ˈdʒæŋkə /; [ 1] German: [ˈjaŋka] ), created by Austrian-born American researcher Gabriel Janka (1864–1932), measures the resistance of a sample of wood to denting and wear. [citation needed] It measures the force required to embed an 11.28-millimeter-diameter ( 7⁄16 in) steel ball halfway into a ...

  5. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    List of viscosities. Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is measured using a viscometer. Measured values span several orders of magnitude.

    North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), representing approximately 16.5% of the Earth 's land area and 4.8% of its total surface area. It is the third-largest continent by size after Asia and Africa, and the fourth-largest continent by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.
