MIL-SPEC 810 is a rating system developed to determine how well a radio will withstand the rigors of cold, heat, dropping and vibration (among other things). The designations C, D, E, and F indicate the most advanced level of certification applicable to the radio with "F" being the most recent rating. Additional information is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIL-STD-810.

While geomembranes come in various mil thicknesses, it can be misleading to assume that "thicker is always better" as thickness does not directly correlate across products to puncture and abrasion resistance. Liner thicknesses are determined by the project engineer based on project site specific conditions. The presence of a geotextile also can greatly affect properties (such as puncture resistance).

OBD II turns the MIL on when a failure occurs which could cause vehicle emissions to exceed 1.5 times their designed standard. The MIL also illuminates when a problem is detected in a component that is used as part of the diagnostic strategy for any other monitored system or component. The purpose of the MIL is to alert the driver to the malfunction so service can be performed in a timely manner.

It is an abbreviation of the word specimen. Meaning an example of, or sometimes used to mean an excellent example of, as in Coro Cacti's Website Specimens page.

Yes we have a wide range of cases that meet mil-spec requirements. For more information on specific mil-specs please contact us.

Yes! Sacrificial anodes must be impurity-free to properly work so all our anodes are made only from Mil-Spec alloys. Click here to learn more about the importance of Mil-Spec A-18001K for corrosion protection of your boat. Our Aluminum anodes conform to Mil-Spec A-24779(SH) and ASTM B418 Type 1, and our Magnesium anodes conform to Mil-Spec A-21412(SH). Close

A dual rated heater can be wired to either of the 2 voltage ratings listed on the product identification label. However, the wattage output will decrease with the lower voltage. For example: A 240/208 dual rated heater can be wired to either a 240 volt or a 208 volt supply. A 1500 watt fan heater will draw 1500 watts wired to 240 volt and 1125 watts (75% of 240 volt rating) wired to 208 volt.

The ENERGYSTAR Program was created by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to help consumers identify and purchase homes, building, and products that not only save money, but also protect the environment. A product that has been ENERGYSTAR certified ensures that the product meets the DOE and EPA's strict guidelines for energy efficiency and superior energy performance.

A pro-rated charge reflects the length of time you use services. For example, if you add a service in the middle of the month, you are not responsible for paying the full monthly price. Instead, you will be charged a portion of the full monthly price based on the number of days you have had the service.

SPEC will often retire a benchmark when there is a more recent replacement or sometimes when the original benchmark has become too out-of-date to continue to support. "Retired" means that SPEC no longer provides technical support or accepts result submissions for posting on the SPEC web site.

Mil is the standard thickness, 4 Mil is double that, something like a freezer bag thickness and a 6 Mil bag is an extra heavy bag.

Riser rated cable is required for jobs where cable is going to be run vertically up multistory buildings in floor to floor wiring riser.

Plenum rated cable is required for jobs where cable is going to be run in return air space. In most buildings this area is above drop ceilings or under raised floors. The materials required to pass plenum standards are much more expensive than non-plenum-rated designs.

It means ratings have not yet been added to the directory. They are added only after dive consumers have submitted ratings for every company listed.

The Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) is an international, non-profit organization of internet leaders working to make the internet safer for children, while respecting the rights of content providers. ICRA has long believed the best approach to protecting children online is through "user empowerment" - giving families the tools to control their online experience.

The most common battery rating is the AMP-HOUR RATING. This is a unit of measurement for battery capacity, obtained by multiplying a current flow in amperes by the time in hours of discharge. (Example: A battery which delivers 5 amperes for 20 hours delivers 5 amperes times 20 hours, or 100 ampere-hours.) Manufacturers use different discharge periods to yield an different Amp-Hr. Rating for the same capacity batteries, therefore, the Amp-Hr.

The Top Service Star next to a store's name is a sign of superlative quality. It means that the store is participating in Yahoo's Customer Rating Program, and that customers who have ordered from that store have given it the highest ratings. Those stores with a star are the "best of the best", with at least 95% positive ratings. We've had thousands of satisfied customers and our order processing is quick and efficient.

Though lagely similar in specification and appearance, the U.S.-spec 850CSi was denied the following items, largely for cost reasons: However, U.S. models do include exterior door handles embossed with "BMW Motorsport" and Extended Yew wood interior trim, both items not normally found on the European-spec version.

Well apparently it has to do with something called gene expression, which refers to the pattern in which genes are switched on and off. And gene expression has a major effect on your body's biological processes. Each cell in your body contains a 'power-factory' that produces energy, called the mitochondria.
