  2. Tactile paving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_paving

    A set of yellow truncated domes on the down-ramp in a parking lot. Tactile paving (also called tenji blocks, truncated domes, detectable warnings, tactile tiles, tactile ground surface indicators, tactile walking surface indicators, or detectable warning surfaces) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found at roadsides (such as at curb cuts), by and on stairs, and on railway ...

  3. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate, such as plate steel, a class of structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips.

    Phosphor bronze propeller salvaged from 1940s American warship.. Phosphor bronze is a member of the family of copper alloys.It is composed of copper that is alloyed with 0.5–11% of tin and 0.01–0.35% phosphorus, and may contain other elements to confer specific properties (e.g. lead at 0.5–3.0% to form free-machining phosphor bronze).

    Every scoring ring is 5 mm wide and sub-divided in 0.5 mm (≈ 0.1719 MOA) increments in 10 "subrings". Like the other scoring rings, the maximum of 10.9 is derived from an additional set of 10 "subrings" within the center 10-point circle, increasing in 0.1 point value as the rings approach the center of the target.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    The most commonly used thickness range is from 1 ⁄ 8 to 3 inches (3.2–76.2 mm). The sizes of the most commonly used plywood sheets are 4 by 8 feet (1,220 mm × 2,440 mm) [20] which was first used by the Portland Manufacturing Company, who developed modern veneer core plywood for the 1905 Portland World Fair. A common metric size for a sheet ...

  7. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    Typically, most sealed units achieve maximum insulating values using a space of 16–19 mm (0.63–0.75 in) when measured at the centre of the IGU. [ 11 ] IGU thickness is a compromise between maximizing insulating value and the ability of the framing system used to carry the unit.

  8. Temper mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temper_mill

    A temper mill is a steel sheet or steel plate processing line composed of a horizontal pass cold rolling mill stand, entry and exit conveyor tables and upstream and downstream equipment depending on the design and nature of the processing system. The primary purpose of a temper mill is to improve the surface finish on steel products.
