The reduction of the capacity of a system to respond to an external
force by use of resilient isolating materials.
A hydrocarbon of the paraffin series having a chemical formula of
C5H12 and having its carbon atoms branched.
Acronym for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It is an
international non-governmental organization devoted to the
advancement of chemistry. It is most well known as the recognized
authority in developing standards for the naming of the chemical
elements and their compounds
The basic unit of thermal energy.
The change in gas temperature which occurs when the gas is
expanded at constant enthalpy from a higher pressure to a lower
pressure. The effect for most gases at normal pressure, except
hydrogen and helium, is a cooling of the gas creating condensation.
Kilo. 1) In referring to computers, a "kilo" is 1024 or 2 to the 10th power
(Note that it is actually slightly more than an even 1000.). 2) the
standard metric prefix for 1,000, or 10
such as volts, hertz, and meters.
A unit for data transfer that means 1,000 or 10
An oily liquid obtained in the distilling of gasoline in a temperature
range from 174-288 degree C. A hydrocarbon of specific gravity of
0.747 to 0.775. Used as fuel for some internal combustion engines,
heating equipment, and illuminating purposes. A heavy grade known as
range oil is used for cooking and heating.
Electronic abbreviation for Kilohertz.

Equivalent to 1000 watts.
A unit of energy when one kilowatt of power is expended for one hour.
Example A radiator bar is usually rated at 1,000 watts and this switched
on for one hour consumes one kilowatt-hour of electricity.
Kilopascal-Measure of Pressure
See Kilowatt.
See Kilowatt-hour.
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer.
1) A time delay between the output of a signal and the response of the
instrument to which the signal is sent. 2) A time relationship between
two waveforms where a fixed reference point on one wave occurs after
the same point of the reference wave.
Represents the amount of heat required to vaporize a liquid. In the
instance of natural gas, the equation appears: 1 Btu = heat to change.
This is the most likely scenario for causing gas to liquefy.
