  2. Fraunhofer lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

    There is disagreement in the literature for some line designations; for example, the Fraunhofer d line may refer to the cyan iron line at 466.814 nm, or alternatively to the yellow helium line (also labeled D 3) at 587.5618 nm. Similarly, there is ambiguity regarding the e line, since it can refer to the spectral lines of both iron (Fe) and ...

  3. Helium storage and conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_storage_and...

    Helium storage and conservation. Helium storage and conservation is a process of maintaining supplies of helium and preventing wasteful loss. Helium is commercially produced as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. Until the mid-1990s, the United States Bureau of Mines operated a large scale helium storage facility to support government ...

  4. Metallicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallicity

    The globular cluster M80. Stars in globular clusters are mainly older metal-poor members of population II. In astronomy, metallicity is the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen and helium. Most of the normal currently detectable (i.e. non- dark) matter in the universe is either hydrogen or helium, and ...

    A-25 (25% argon/75% helium) is used for nonferrous base when higher heat input and good weld appearance are needed. A-50 (50% argon/50% helium) is used for nonferrous metals thinner than 0.75 inch for high-speed mechanized welding. A-75 (75% argon/25% helium) is used for mechanized welding of thick aluminium. Reduces weld porosity in copper. [14]

There is a wide variation of price of carbon depending on its form.

  9. Pickering series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickering_series

    The Pickering series (also known as the Pickering–Fowler series) consists of three lines of singly ionised helium found, usually in absorption, in the spectra of hot stars like Wolf–Rayet stars. The name comes from Edward Charles Pickering [1] and Alfred Fowler. [2] The lines are produced by transitions from a higher energy level of an ...
