  2. LME Copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LME_Copper

    Despite the small share of physical copper associated with LME Copper contracts, their prices act as reference prices for physical global copper transactions. [5] This practice started in 1966, when Zambia, Chile, and most Copper-producing countries abandoned fixed price copper contracts, and announced that they would set copper contract prices based the average monthly price of the nearest ...

  3. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

    The history of copper pipe is similar. In the 1930s, the pipe was designated by its internal diameter and a 1 ⁄ 16-inch (1.6 mm) wall thickness. Consequently, a 1-inch (25 mm) copper pipe had a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8-inch (28.58 mm) outside diameter. The outside diameter was the important dimension for mating with fittings.

    The amount of x-rays emitted by a CRT can also lowered by reducing the brightness of the image. [136] [137] [138] [102] Leaded glass is used because it is inexpensive, [139] while also shielding heavily against x-rays, although some funnels may also contain barium.

    The duodecimal system, also known as base twelve or dozenal, is a positional numeral system using twelve as its base.In duodecimal, the number twelve is denoted "10", meaning 1 twelve and 0 units; in the decimal system, this number is instead written as "12" meaning 1 ten and 2 units, and the string "10" means ten.

  8. Equivalent carbon content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_carbon_content

    The carbon equivalent is a measure of the tendency of the weld to form martensite on cooling and to suffer brittle fracture. When the carbon equivalent is between 0.40 and 0.60 weld preheat may be necessary. When the carbon equivalent is above 0.60, preheat is necessary, postheat may be necessary.
