    Wrought iron is a tough malleable form of iron which contains very less carbon percentage of 0.05 to 1%. It is very soft in nature and have high tension strength. It is also magnetic and ductile in nature.

    Water content is determined by the Karl Fischer titration method and it consists of only water i.e moisture content. ... Loss on drying (LOD) is determined by heating the sample below its melting point in an oven and it includes all volatile matter including water content and solvents.

    Difference between declination and dip:

    Here

    I will share with you a specific definition of declination and dip, have a look.

    Declination is just an angle which is in between the magnetic north and true north. 

    Whereas magnetic dip is an angle between magnetic field lines and a horizontal plane at a particular location on the planet.


    Thank You.

    Hi,

    Sections of Tubular steel are strong, basically, against longitudinal stress, that’s why steel tubes are used for scaffolding. Steel tubing and steel pipes are greatly resistant to compression against lengthways, and also offer better resistance to bending forces than flat steel sheet.

    On another side, a solid tube section has more weight which makes the surface load increases. It also increases the cost of construction and project. The solid section as more affinity towards corrosion which is uneconomical.
