Mechanical Properties - The properties of a material which makes it withstand external forces or effects, such as yield strength, tensile strength, ductility, impact resistance and hardness. Machine Welding (ME) - Uses equipment which welds with the constant adjusting and setting of controls by a welder or operator. Microprocessor - One or more integrated circuits that can be programmed with stored instructions to perform a variety of functions. Manifold – A series of connectors to a common outlet allowing several cylinders to be used simultaneously. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) – An MSDS is a substance fact sheet containing characteristics and hazards of specific hazardous industrial material. Also, these data sheets provide precautionary information on safe handling of the material as well as emergency and first aid procedures. Maximum Operating Pressure – The maximum allowable use pressure for which a system is designed. Also referred to as “working pressure.” Melting Point – The temperature at which the solid and liquid phase of a substance are in equilibrium (normally specified at one atm). Micron – One millionth of a meter. Mixture – Any combination of two or more chemicals if the combination is not, in whole or in part, the result of a chemical reaction. Mole – The weight of a substance equal numerically to its molecular weight. A gram-mole is the weight in grams equal to the molecular weight; a pound-mole is the weight in pounds equal to the molecular weight. Molecular Weight – The sum of the atomic weights of all the constituent atoms in the molecule of an element or a compound.
