medium-volatile bituminous coal
The rank of coal, within the bituminous class of Classification D 388,
such that, on the dry and mineral-matter-free basis, the volatile matter
content of the coal is greater than 22% but equal to or less than 31% (or
the fixed carbon content is equal to or greater than 69% but less than
78%), and the coal commonly agglomerates. CF:bituminous coal

plants. See also:spore
A displacement type of pump operating on the eccentric principle.
Mason
An electrical measuring instrument comprising a hand-operated generator
equipped with a governor, a moving measuring system consisting of a
voltage, and a current coil so disposed that the deflection of the moving
system is proportional to the ratio of voltage to current. Used to measure
insulation resistance and resistance to ground. It has been used to some
extent in electrical prospecting. AGI
A test to distinguish calcite from aragonite. After boiling for 20 min in
a cobalt nitrate solution, aragonite becomes lilac, the color showing in
thin section, while calcite and dolomite become pale blue, the color not
showing in thin section.
A tetragonal mineral, 3CaAl2 Si2 O8 .CaCO3 ;
scapolite group; forms a series with marialite.
Of or pertaining to the maximum destructive force of an earthquake.
