  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Trains typically rate much lower than automobiles. The highest grade a vehicle can ascend while maintaining a particular speed is sometimes termed that vehicle's "gradeability" (or, less often, "grade ability"). The lateral slopes of a highway geometry are sometimes called fills or cuts where these techniques have been used to create them.

  3. Diethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylene_glycol

    Diethylene glycol (DEG) is an organic compound with the formula (HOCH 2 CH 2) 2 O. It is a colorless, practically odorless, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. It is a four carbon dimer of ethylene glycol. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. [3] DEG is a widely used solvent. [4]

  4. Degree of unsaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_unsaturation

    In the analysis of the molecular formula of organic molecules, the degree of unsaturation (DU) (also known as the index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD), double bond equivalents (DBE), or unsaturation index [1]) is a calculation that determines the total number of rings and π bonds. A formula is used in organic chemistry to

  5. Gradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradian

    In trigonometry, the gradian – also known as the gon (from Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía) 'angle'), grad, or grade [1] – is a unit of measurement of an angle, defined as one-hundredth of the right angle; in other words, 100 gradians is equal to 90 degrees.

  6. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    The absolute value of this correction is above, the amount you would subtract from the tape measurement to get the true span distance. A Taylor series expansion of δ {\displaystyle \delta } in terms of the quantity L {\displaystyle L} is desired to give a good first approximation to the correction.

  7. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_(data_page)

    A Wikipedia page providing distillation data for ethylene glycol, a chemical compound used in various applications.

  9. Delisle scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delisle_scale

    Joseph-Nicolas Delisle. The Delisle scale is a temperature scale invented in 1732 by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle (1688–1768). [1] The Delisle scale is notable as one of the few temperature scales that are inverted from the amount of thermal energy they measure; unlike most other temperature scales, higher measurements in degrees Delisle are colder, while lower measurements ...
