|
| The rolled form of vinyl.
|
| Gypsumboard with a thin layer of vinyl as the finished surface.

| The growth of mature trees in the original forests; to be distinguished from Second Growth.
|
| The ability of a material to simultaneously exhibit viscous and elastic responses to deformation.
|
| An instrument for the measurement of Viscosity.
|
| A device for measuring viscosity.
|
| A classification system of asphalt cements based on viscosity ranges at 140°F (60°C); a minimum viscosity at 275°F (135°C) is also usually specified; the purpose is to prescribe limiting values of consistency at these two temperatures; . 140° F approximates the maximum temperature of asphalt pavement surface in service in the U.S.; 275°F approximates the mixing and laydown temperatures for hot asphalt pavements; there are five grades of asphalt cement based on the viscosity of the original asphalt at 140°F.
|

|
| Bench tool with two jaws that can be closed by turning a screw, for holding work.
|
| Glass placed in an opening of a door.
|
| A display that has information posted on it with writing, diagrams or pictures to dispense helpful facts.
|
| The material of a china plumbing fixture with a finish resembling glass, in color, composition, brittleness, and low porosity, used for toilets, urinals, and lavatories.
|
| A fired-on opaque glassy coating on metal, such as steel.
|
| A slip coating matured on a ceramic body, producing a vitrified surface.
|
| Tile with water absorption of more than 0.5%, but not more than 3.0%.
|
| That degree of vitrification evidenced by low water absorption; vitreous generally signifies less than 0.5% absorption, except for floor and wall tile and low-voltage electrical porcelain which are considered vitreous up to 3.0% water absorption.
|
| The maturing range of a vitreous body, producing a vitrified surface.
|
| The progressive rction in porosity of a ceramic composition as a result of heat treatment, or the process involved.
|
