Reference Information

The section has some handy reference information.  Below is a comparison of viscosity of common materials to give you a reference of cps measurement to materials you have an understanding of how they flow. The hardness comparison is to allow you to compare different type of values.

.  To give the user a more in-depth understanding of the terms use in potting click here to go to another page. Temperature conversion to °F or °C is on another page .
