V has various meanings in the Construction category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of V in Construction.
Pressure less than atmospheric pressure. It is usually expressed in inches of mercury (Hg) as referred to the existing atmospheric pressure. A vacuum is a space that has no pressure and no molecules inside. It is truly and empty space. Although space has a very low pressure (almost a vacuum), there are still particles out there. A volume which contains no matter. A completely empty space. The collapsing can experiment shows the effect of the pressure of gas particles.
ConstructionA resin with poor adhesion but good hardness, flexibility and resistance. Used for swimming pools, tank linings and marine equipment. A polymer made by linking ethylene (CH2=CH2) or substituted ethylene molecules together. A generic term for PVC, one of various compounds of ethylene that are polymerized to form resins and plastics. Vinyl resins are copolymers with vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate as the major film formers.

ConstructionA device provided in a piping system to regulate or stop the liquid low. Although many different types of valves are used to control the flow of fluids, the basic valve types can be divided into two general groups: stop valves and check valves.
ConstructionA measure of electrical potential. Most homes are wired with 110 and 220 volt lines. The 110 volt power is used for lighting and most of the other circuits. The 220 volt power is usually used for the kitchen range, hot water heater and dryer. Amount of potential energy between two points on a circuit. Voltage the potential to do work, voltage is the ratio of the energy available to the charge, expressed in volts. The difference in electrical potential between any two conductors or between a conductor and ground.
