Figure 73. Volumetric behavior of single elements. Graphs.

Variation by grade.

This first graph shows three distinct lines. The first is solid red and is labeled A 1 default while the second line is solid pink and is labeled B DS-65. The third and final line is solid blue and is labeled C Clear. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from 15 to 16.6 and represents Volume (millimeters cubed)(E plus 3) while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from 0 to 60 and represents Time (milliseconds). All three lines begin at the points of 15.6 on the vertical axis and zero on the horizontal axis. The three lines run across the graph diagonally, nearly parallel with each other. The red line peaks at the points of 16.35 on the vertical axis and 49 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The pink line peaks at the points of 16.4 and 53 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The blue line peaks at the points of 16.45 on the vertical axis and 54 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph.

Variation by moisture.

This second graph shows four distinct lines. The first is solid red and is labeled A 30 percent default. The second line is solid pink and is labeled B 20 percent while the third line is solid blue and is labeled C 10 percent. Finally, the fourth line is solid black and is labeled D 1 percent. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from 15 to 16.6 and represents Volume (millimeters cubed)(E plus 3) while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from 0 to 60 and represents Time (milliseconds). All three lines begin at the points of 15.6 on the vertical axis and zero on the horizontal axis. The three lines run across the graph diagonally, nearly parallel with each other. The red line peaks at the points of 16.35 on the vertical axis and 49 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The pink line peaks at the points of 16.05 on the vertical and 32 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The blue line peaks at the points of 15.95 on the vertical axis and 24 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The solid black line peaks at the points of 16.03 on the vertical axis and 28 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph.

Variation by temperature.

This third graph shows four distinct lines. The first is solid red and is labeled A 30 default. The second line is solid pink and is labeled B 20 default while the third line is solid blue and is labeled C 10. Finally, the fourth line is solid black and is labeled D 1. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from 15 to 16.6 and represents Volume (millimeters cubed) (E plus 3) while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from 0 to 60 and represents Time (milliseconds). All three lines begin at the points of 15.6 on the vertical axis and zero on the horizontal axis. The three lines run across the graph diagonally, nearly parallel with each other. The red line peaks at the points of 16.58 on the vertical axis and 59 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The pink line peaks at the points of 16.39 on the vertical axis and 49 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The blue line peaks at the points of 15.99 on the vertical axis and 26 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph. The solid black line peaks at the points of 15.75 on the vertical axis and 9 on the horizontal axis where it drops straight down and off the graph.
