Plumbing science Flashcards
what is ductility and how is it measured?
The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing is called ductility.
why is ductility important in construction?
ductility allows structures to bend and deform to some extent.
what is the Tensile Strength?
The ability of a material to withstand
pulling or stretching forces.
what is the Compressive Strength?
The ability of material top withstand compressive (squeezing) forces without failing.
Hardness?
The resistance of a material to indentation,
scratching, or wear. Materials with high hardness are durable
and resistant to surface damage.
Ductility?
The ability of a material to undergo significant
deformation under tensile stress without breaking, often by
stretching into a wire.
Malleability?
The ability of a material to be hammered or
rolled into thin sheets without breaking or cracking.
Electrical Conductivity?
The ability of a material to
conduct an electrical current.
Thermal Conductivity?
The ability of a material to conduct
heat.
