The watt-hour(symbol W·h or Wh) is a unit of energy. It is most commonly used on household electricity meters in the form of the kilowatt-hour(kW·h or kWh), which is 1, 000 watt-hours. It is not used in the International System of Units(SI), despite being based on the watt, as the hour is not a SI unit. The SI unit of energy is the joule(J), equal to one watt-second. It is, however, a commonly used unit, especially for measuring electric energy. 1 watt-hour is equivalent to 3, 600 joules(1 W x 3600 s), the joule being the canonical SI unit of energy. Thus a kilowatt-hour is 3, 600, 000 joules or 3. 6 megajoules.... The kilowatt-hour is commonly used for electrical and natural gas energy. Many electric utility companies use the kilowatt-hour for billing.  3, record 1, English, - kilowatt%2Dhour

One... method of application akin to dipping is flooding on, where articles such as radiators and transformers, are suspended over a drain tray and hosed with paint pumped from a storage tank. The hose is manually operated, and hosing is continued until the article is completely covered. Surplus paint collecting in the drain tray is pumped back to the storage tank via a filter(Source of terms and context :W. H. Tatton and E. W.

Le procédé par "ruissellement" ou "arrosage" est une variante des procédés au trempé classiques, utilisable pour des pièces volumineuses et fixes. C'est alors la pièce qui est arrosée par la peinture, qui s'écoule dans un bac où elle est recueillie et réutilisée. C'est un procédé rudimentaire appelé parfois procédé "à la casserole" car c'est en fait cet instrument qui sert à arroser la pièce.  1, record 4, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20par%20arrosage
