Industry:Mining
A granular, more or less banded rock containing grunerite, other ferruginous silicates, and magnetite; produced by metamorphism of ferruginous cherts, such as taconite and jaspillite.
Industry:Mining
A graph designed to show the boundaries of the fields of stability of the various phases of a system. The coordinates are usually two or more of the intensive variables temperature, pressure, and composition, but are not restricted to these.

Industry:Mining
A graph showing stage, flow, velocity, or other characteristics of water with respect to time. A stream hydrograph commonly shows rate of flow; a ground-water hydrograph, water level or head.
Industry:Mining
A graph showing the distribution of light in a flame safety lamp obtained by plotting the values obtained at intervals of 10 degrees around a full circle.
Industry:Mining
A graph that shows a relation between the specific gravity of fractions of a coal sample floated in liquids of step-by-step increased density, and the percentage of ash in each such fraction.
