  2. Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic...

    A typical storage tank made of FRP has an inlet, an outlet, a vent, an access port, a drain, and an overflow nozzle. However, there are other features that can be included in the tank. Ladders on the outside allow for easy access to the roof for loading. The vessel must be designed to withstand the load of someone standing on these ladders, and ...

  3. Poly(p-phenylene oxide) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(p-phenylene_oxide)

    Poly(p-phenylene oxide) (PPO), poly(p-phenylene ether) (PPE), poly(oxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene), often referred to simply as polyphenylene oxide, is a high-temperature thermoplastic with the general formula (C 8 H 8 O) n. It is rarely used in its pure form due to difficulties in processing.

  4. Cistern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistern

    A cistern (from Middle English cisterne; from Latin cisterna, from cista 'box'; from Ancient Greek κίστη (kístē) 'basket' [1]) is a waterproof receptacle for holding liquids, usually water. Cisterns are often built to catch and store rainwater. [2] To prevent leakage, the interior of the cistern is often lined with hydraulic plaster. [3]

    The swelling capacity of a polymer is the amount of a liquid that can be absorbed by it. This test can done by two methods: This test can done by two methods: Beaker test method [ 1 ]

  6. Polychlorotrifluoroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorotrifluoroethylene

    Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chlorofluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF 2 CClF) n, where n is the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule. It is similar to polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), except that it is a homopolymer of the monomer chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) instead of tetrafluoroethene.

  7. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).

  8. Polypropylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_glycol

    Polypropylene glycol is produced by ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide.The initiator is an alcohol and the catalyst a base, usually potassium hydroxide.When the initiator is ethylene glycol or water the polymer is linear.

  9. Ethylene vinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_vinyl_alcohol

    Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) is a formal copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol.Because the latter monomer mainly exists as its tautomer acetaldehyde, the copolymer is prepared by polymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate to give the ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer followed by hydrolysis.
