What is Thermal Expansion?
A layman might say their Toilet is clogged, but in the professional world we know it as one of these.
What a Water Closet?
This fundamental metric is calculated by dividing total force over the area which it acts.
What is Pressure?
Standard static water pressure increases by approximately this many PSI for every 1 foot of vertical water column height.

What is an Adjustable Wrench?
A standard pressure gauge that reads zero when open to the atmosphere measures this type of pressure.
What is PSIG (or PSI Gauge)?
An object immersed in water will float if its Specific Gravity is less than this number.
What is 1.0?
When using the formula for the Combined Gas Law, one should use this temperature scale.
What is Kelvin (or Rankine)?
Maybe you've called the concrete anchors we use to secure most equipment to pads Kwik Bolts, but that's the brand name! They are actually called this.
What are Wedge Anchors?
Vacuum is measured in this unit of pressure.
What are Inches of Mercury?
