Question
Answer
Boiling Point   the temperature at which the metal changes from liquid state to vapor state  
🗑
thermal conductivity   a measure of the rate at which heat will flow through a material  
🗑
K-value   the amount of heat (in BTU's) transfered in one hour through 1sqft of a given material that is 1 inch thick and has a temperature difference between its surface of 1 degree farenheit--also called the coefficient of thermal conductivity  
🗑
R-value   represents the resistivity or resistance which is the reciprocal of conductivity or conductance. A good insulation material will have a high R-value. R=1/K  
🗑
specific heat   a measure of the quantity of heat required to increase the temperature of the material by a specific amount  
🗑
thermal expansion   the increase in the dimension of a metal caused by heat  
🗑
coefficient of linear thermal expansion   is a measure of the linear increase per unit length based on the change in temperature of the metal  
🗑
stress   the force or load being transmitted, divided by the cross sectional area transmitting the load--s=f/A  
🗑
strain   the internal reactive to stress or applied force  
🗑
yield point   the point at which there is appreciable elongation without a corresponding increase in load. we use yield point to determine yield strength  
🗑
ultimate strength   highest ordinant on a stress strain curve--tensile strength or highest strength  
🗑
full penetration   weld metal throughout the entire cross section of the weld joint  
🗑
partial penetration   has unfused areas  
🗑
allowable working stress   maximum stress level that is allowed anywhere within the weldment--allowable welding stress, allowable unit stress, and allowable weld stress  
🗑
strength   the ability to withstand the action of external forces without breaking  
🗑
ductility   a characteristic that allows a metal to be stretched or otherwise changed in shape without breaking and to retain the change shape after the load has been removed  
🗑
hardness   the resistance of a metal to local penetration by a harder substance  
🗑
impact strength   the resistance of a metal to impact and is determined by measure the energy absorbed in the fracture  
🗑
single stage regulator   indicates a pressure drop as the cylinder content is consumed--1000psi=10psi, 900psi=9psi  
🗑
2 stage regulator   maintains steady outlet pressures and flow rates during long periods of operation--1000psi=10psi, 900psi=10psi  
🗑
jump   a momentary pressure increase when the torch valves are closed  
🗑
creep   the working pressure side of the regulator increases to unusually high level after the torch valve is closed  
🗑
reverse flow check valves   allows the gas to flow in one direction only  
🗑
flash back arrestor   during a flashback, a filter stops the flame and activates a gas shut off valve--common occurence in cutting projects  
🗑
manufacturing processes   unfinished materials and converting into a finished product  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
