  2. Medium-density fibreboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

    The pressing cycle operates in stages, with the mat thickness being first compressed to around 1.5 times the finished board thickness, then compressed further in stages and held for a short period. This gives a board profile with zones of increased density, thus mechanical strength, near the two faces of the board and a less dense core.

  3. GLARE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLARE

    (Glare1 can only consist of aluminum layers of 0.3 to 0.4 mm (0.012 to 0.016 in; 12 to 16 mils) thickness, though.) For example, Glare4B-4/3-0.4 is a Glare sheet with a Glare4 grade (using the B variant) where there are four aluminum layers and three glass fiber layers, and the thickness of each aluminum layer is 0.4 mm (0.016 in; 16 mils).

  5. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

    The Birmingham gauge ranges from 5/0 or 00000, the lowest gauge number corresponding to the largest size of 0.500 inches (12.7 mm), to 36, the highest gauge number corresponding to the smallest size of 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). The increments between gauge sizes are not linear and vary. [2]

  6. Siding (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siding_(construction)

    Highly decorative wood-shingle siding on a house in Clatskanie, Oregon, U.S. Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable ...

  7. Double-clad fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-clad_fiber

    The shape of the cladding is very important, especially when the core diameter is small compared to the size of the inner cladding. Circular symmetry in a double-clad fiber seems to be the worst solution for a fiber laser; in this case, many modes of the light in the cladding miss the core and hence cannot be used to pump it. [5]

  8. Diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter

    In this context, a diameter is any chord which passes through the conic's centre. A diameter of an ellipse is any line passing through the centre of the ellipse. [7] Half of any such diameter may be called a semidiameter, although this term is most often a synonym for the radius of a circle or sphere. [8] The longest diameter is called the ...

  9. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.
