An analog dimming method in which a low-voltage DC signal from 0 to 10 volts sets driver output.

Hardened, ground steel blocks measuring 1 x 2 x 3 inches, used for setups, squaring and height stacks.

Six Sigma convention that assumes a process mean wanders by 1.5 standard deviations over the long term.

CP criterion met when a structure is polarized at least 100 mV more negative than its native potential.

Fastener shorthand for austenitic 300-series stainless, about 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel.

Specular gloss measured at a steep 20 degrees, used to separate very glossy papers, boards and prints.

Measurement setup with the sample lit at 45 degrees and viewed straight on, or the reverse.

A deep-digging cellulosic stick rod run on DCEP, the classic choice for open-root pipe passes.

Pipe test position with the pipe fixed at 45 degrees, covering every welding position in one joint.

A low-hydrogen stick electrode with 70 ksi minimum tensile strength, the workhorse rod for structural and pressure work.

Specular gloss measured at 75 degrees from the normal, the standard angle for coated and most uncoated papers.

Steel counts as protected when its potential is -850 mV or more negative against a copper sulfate electrode.
