Ms Dixon was raped and murdered on her walk home from a comedy show in the Melbourne

CBD last Tuesday night. A passer-by discovered her body in the middle of the soccer pitch on
Wednesday morning.
On Monday morning, firefighters were forced to remove paint markings from the memorial after
they were discovered by police during a routine patrol about 3.50am.
A Victoria Police spokesman would not reveal the exact content of the graffiti, but it was believed
to be 25 metres wide and deliberately painted next to the memorial.
The spokesman said “a number of exhibits” had been seized and the Dog Squad had been
through the area.

cookware manufacturers developed proprietary PTFE-based formulas, including Swiss Diamond

International, which uses a diamond-reinforced PTFE formula;[11] Scanpan, which uses a
titanium-reinforced PTFE formula;[12] and both All-Clad[13] and Newell Rubbermaid's Calphalon,
which use a non-reinforced PTFE-based nonstick.[14] Other cookware companies, such as Meyer
Corporation's Anolon, use Teflon[15] nonstick coatings purchased from DuPont.
In the 1990s, it was found that PTFE could be radiation cross-linked above its melting point in an
oxygen-free environment.[16] Electron beam processing is one example of radiation processing.
Cross-linked PTFE has improved high-temperature mechanical properties and radiation stability.
This was significant because, for many years, irradiation at ambient conditions has been used to
break down PTFE for recycling.[17] This radiation-induced

NPT stands for National Pipe Thread and is an American standard thread. It may also be reffered to as MPT , MNPT or NPT (M) fo
FNPT or NPT(F) for female interal threads. A thread sealant must always be used to achieve a leak free seal (except for NPTF). It

Both threads have the same pitch, angle (60 degrees) and shape (flat peaks and valleys).

BSP vs NPT
NPT threads are common in the United States and a few other countries, BSP threads are widely used in many other countries.

BSPT -British Standard Pipe Taper

BSPP -British Standard Pipe Parallel
NPT -National Pipe Taper
NPS -National Pipe Straight
While the actual specified outside diameters of American National Pipe differ slightly from those of British Standard Pipe, either thr
pipe of its respective trade size. BSPT equivalent is NPT and BSPP’s equivalent is NPS.
Never swap threads if it is a high pressure application.

NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes hav
threads have a 60° angle and have flattened peaks and valleys (Sellers thread form) where as BSP threads have a 55° angle and

NPT and BSP thread pitches (threads per inch) are listed below. To determine pitch, use a thread gauge or count the number of th

Thread size refers to the nominal bore of the pipe.

Subtract approx. 1/4″ (6mm) from thread diameter measurement for
nominal pipe size.
Pitch is Threads Per Inch (TPI).
“Gas”, “R” & “G” also refer to BSP.
“Male Iron (Pipe)” may be BSP or NPT.
