Deutsch: Hohe Anfangskosten / Español: Costos Iniciales Altos / Português: Custos Iniciais Elevados / Français: Coûts Initiaux Élevés / Italiano: Costi Iniziali Elevati
High Initial Costs refer to the significant financial investments required at the beginning of a project or operation in an industrial setting. These costs can include expenses related to equipment, infrastructure, technology, research and development (R&D), and regulatory compliance. High initial costs are a common barrier for companies entering capital-intensive industries or adopting new technologies, but they are often necessary for long-term success and profitability.
Deutsch: Hoher Schmelzpunkt / Español: Alto Punto de Fusión / Português: Alto Ponto de Fusão / Français: Point de Fusion Élevé / Italiano: Alto Punto di Fusione
High Melting Point refers to the temperature at which a material changes from a solid to a liquid under standard atmospheric conditions. In an industrial context, materials with a high melting point are often chosen for applications that require resistance to extreme heat, such as in metalworking, aerospace, and manufacturing. These materials retain their structural integrity at elevated temperatures, making them essential in processes like Forging, casting, and high-temperature operations.
Deutsch: Härte / Español: Dureza / Português: Dureza / Français: Dureté / Italiano: Durezza
Hardness in the industrial context refers to the measure of a Material's resistance to deformation, particularly permanent indentation, scratching, or abrasion. It is a critical property in the Selection of materials for various industrial applications, influencing how a material will perform under mechanical Stress and wear conditions. Hardness testing is commonly used in industries such as metallurgy, manufacturing, construction, and tooling to ensure materials meet specific standards and requirements.
Deutsch: Herbizid / Español: Herbicida / Português: Herbicida / Français: Herbicide / Italiano: Erbicida
Herbicide refers to a chemical substance used to control or eliminate unwanted vegetation, particularly weeds. In an industrial context, herbicides are widely used to manage plant growth in large-scale agricultural operations, as well as in non-agricultural areas like industrial sites, railways, and roadways. The purpose is to enhance productivity, safety, and aesthetics by preventing weed growth that could interfere with operations or Maintenance.
Deutsch: Hypothese / Español: Hipótesis / Português: Hipótese / Français: Hypothèse / Italiano: Ipotesi
Hypothesis in the industrial context refers to an educated guess or a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. In industrial settings, hypotheses are crucial for driving research, development, and process improvements, as they guide experiments and analysis aimed at solving specific problems or optimizing processes.
Deutsch: Luftfeuchtigkeit / Español: Humedad / Português: Humidade / Français: Humidité / Italiano: Umidità
Humidity in the industrial context refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air within an industrial environment. It is a crucial factor in various manufacturing and storage processes, as it can significantly impact the quality, safety, and efficiency of operations.
Deutsch: Hafen / Español: Puerto / Português: Porto / Français: Port / Italiano: Porto
Harbour (UK-English. In US-English it is harbor) refers to a place on the coast where ships, boats, and barges can dock, load, and unload cargo or passengers. In the industrial context, a harbour is a critical infrastructure for facilitating maritime trade, supporting logistics, and enabling the transport of goods and materials.
Deutsch: Hochtemperatur / Español: Alta temperatura / Português: Alta temperatura / Français: Haute température / Italiano: Alta temperatura
High-temperature refers to environments, processes, or conditions that involve extremely elevated temperatures, typically exceeding 200°C (392°F). In the industrial context, high-temperature conditions are crucial for various processes and applications, requiring specialized equipment and materials to handle the intense heat.
