2. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

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

   For common tape measurements, the tape used is a steel tape with coefficient of thermal expansion C equal to 0.000,011,6 units per unit length per degree Celsius change. This means that the tape changes length by 1.16 mm per 10 m tape per 10 °C change from the standard temperature of the tape.

3. Janka hardness test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janka_hardness_test

   When testing wood in lumber form, the Janka test is always carried out on wood from the tree trunk (known as the heartwood), and the standard sample (according to ASTM D143) is at 12% moisture content and clear of knots. [3] The hardness of wood varies with the direction of the wood grain. Testing on the surface of a plank, perpendicular to the ...

4. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

   Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...

   Wheel fender extension to keep down lunar dust improvised using duct tape during the Apollo 17 mission. The first material called "duck tape" was long strips of plain non-adhesive cotton duck cloth used in making shoes stronger, for decoration on clothing, and for wrapping steel cables or electrical conductors to protect them from corrosion or wear.

   Pendulum floor slip resistance tester. The ASTM E303-22 [1] (United States), BS EN 16165:2021, [2] BS EN 13036-4:2011 [3] (United Kingdom and many other European nations), AS 4663:2013 - Slip resistance of existing pedestrian surfaces, and AS 4586:2013 - Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials (Australia/New Zealand) slip resistance test standards define the pendulum ...

7. Tape measure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_measure

   Tape measures are often designed for specific uses or trades. Tapes may have different scales, be made of different materials, and be of different lengths depending on the intended use. Tape measures used in tailoring are called "sewing tape". Originally made from flexible cloth or plastic, fiberglass is now the preferred material due to its ...

8. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   Thread seal tape is wrapped around the threads, lubricating the connection and allowing the two pieces to be screwed deeper together. Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths ...

9. Floor marking tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_marking_tape

   A way of satisfying this requirement is photoluminescent tape, which glows in darkness without any external power source. [2] The IFC also requires that obstacles that are within 6.5 feet (2.0 m) of the floor surface be marked with luminescent striped tape, with an alternating striped pattern of luminous material and non-luminous black.
