    Smoked glass is a type of opaque glass that is used to construct doors with glass panels. It allows natural light to enter the space while maintaining privacy and reducing glare. The smoked effect is achieved by adding color or tint to the glass during the manufacturing process. This makes it an ideal choice for areas where privacy is desired, such as bathrooms or conference rooms. Wired glass, laminated glass, and tempered glass do not provide the same level of opacity as smoked glass, making them less suitable for this purpose.

    XHHN in wire specification means?

    Correct Answer
    Moisture and Heat Resistant-Cross-Linked Thermosetting
    Explanation
    XHHN in wire specification stands for Moisture and Heat Resistant-Cross-Linked Thermosetting. This indicates that the wire is designed to withstand high temperatures and resist moisture. The term "cross-linked" suggests that the wire has been treated or processed to enhance its durability and resistance to heat and moisture. The term "thermosetting" implies that the wire has been molded or formed into a specific shape or configuration that will not change when exposed to heat. Overall, XHHN wire is suitable for applications where high temperature and moisture resistance are required.
