Hey guys,

Can anyone help me think of some relevant physical (8 or so) and chemical properties (5ish) required by flag poles. I was struggling to think of some but here are some of mine:
Physical
  • Flexibility
  • Elasticity
  • Melting point
  • Strength?
  • Electrical conductivity??
Chemical
  • Stability
  • UV resistance
  • Stability

Pretty good lists!

This is a good one. When would you want high conductivity in your flagpole? When would you want very low conductivity?

You just wanted to emphasize the importance of Stability... :smile:
