Elastomeric sealing at high temperatures vs an oil is a delicate subject. Check out the Dupont Chemical Resistance Guide and you can get started there. As you'll see, volume swell, compression set, and other mech. properties will be represented as % losses. And those representations are...

Thank you Zryn for your input and for the effort to link the wiki pages.

Hi, Looking for the SI Notation practices for Direct Current and Voltage Direct Current. We commonly use DC and VDC, but I wonder if that's correct per SI. I've looked through several guides and pdf's of SI Notation, and haven't yet been able to find the answer. Any help you can...

Many cameras have customizable internal timers. I'm not familiar with that camera, but it's worth checking the manual for. Alternatively, write Nikon customer support an email? Maybe they can help. I'm not aware of any software which might allow this if you connect w/ USB.. It might...

Jones1987, Industry will expect drawings to be in computerized aka CAD aka not hand sketches. You can get people moving on prints that are sketches and markups of pc generated prints, but in time, they will be expecting a computer output drawing. Simple as that. Unless the drawing is...
