Cinder blocks are lighter and cheaper than solid concrete blocks, but lack tensile strength. They are made from Portland cement and cinders, while concrete blocks contain small aggregates. Speed blocks, which are open-ended, can be used to maneuver around existing rebar. Some building projects require a masonry block larger than a standard brick, but solid […]
Fuse blocks protect a vehicle’s electrical devices from short circuits or surges. They contain fuses rated at different amperage ratings. Changing a fuse is simple, but it’s important to use the same amperage fuse. Fuse blocks can be found on the dash or in the engine compartment. They don’t need maintenance but should be kept […]
Lead blocks are solid blocks of lead used for construction or reinforcement of storage areas, buildings, or rooms. They are often used to contain or shield against radioactive materials or rays. Interlocking blocks provide stability and reduce the risk of radiation leakage. Lead blocks are used in hospitals, power plants, and science laboratories. However, handling […]
Gauge blocks, also known as Jo blocks, are precision machined blocks used to calibrate measuring devices and for precise measurements. They come in sets of various sizes and grades of accuracy, made of high-quality steel or carbides. Squeezing and lapping are techniques used to fasten and create flat surfaces. They are used in calibration, measuring, […]
