  2. Araldite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araldite

    Araldite adhesive is used to join together the two sections of carbon composite which make up the monocoque of the Lamborghini Aventador. The use of Araldite adhesive in architecture to bond thin joints of pre-cast concrete units was pioneered by Ove Arup in Coventry cathedral and the Sydney Opera House. [4]

  3. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    Copper has a very linear resistancetemperature relationship; however, copper oxidizes at moderate temperatures and cannot be used over 150 °C (302 °F). [citation needed] The significant characteristic of metals used as resistive elements is the linear approximation of the resistance versus temperature relationship between 0 and 100 °C.

  4. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance is kelvins per watt (K/W) or the equivalent degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W) – the two are the same since the intervals are equal: ΔT = 1 K = 1 °C. The thermal resistance of materials is of great interest to electronic engineers because most electrical components generate heat and need to be cooled.

  5. Tog (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tog_(unit)

    So that practical clothing may be described conveniently by a range of small integers, the unit of thermal resistance, to be called the “tog”, is the resistance that will maintain a temperature difference of 0.1°C. with a flux of 1 watt per square metre, or in more practical terms, 10°C. with a flux of 1 watt per square decimetre.

  6. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    The construction industry makes use of measures such as the R-value (resistance) and the U-value (transmittance or conductance). Although related to the thermal conductivity of a material used in an insulation product or assembly, R- and U-values are measured per unit area, and depend on the specified thickness of the product or assembly.

  7. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).

  8. Ratio meter systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_meter_systems

    A ratiometer temperature measuring indicator has two coils. As the sensor bulb resistance varies with temperature, different amounts of current flow through the coils. This produces varying magnetic fields. These fields interact with the magnetic field of a large permanent magnet, resulting in an indication of temperature. [1]

  9. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

    Keep the temperature of the sensor wire constant and measure the voltage as a function of pressure; Note that keeping the temperature constant implies that the end losses (4.) and the thermal radiation losses (3.) are constant. [3] The electrical resistance of a wire varies with its temperature, so the resistance indicates the temperature of wire.
