    Handrail color?

    Is there a standard for what color handrails should be on mezzanines, catwalks, and stairs? Also, is there a color standard for moving objects (orange,) machine guarding (yellow,) etc? For industrial use. For my future reference, how is it best to look up these standards?

    MEASURING NITRIC ACID TEMPERATURE W/ T-COUPLE???

    Can anyone tell me why this happens? Why does my electronic temperature device display go unstable when trying to read the temperature of nitric acid. I am using a "J" type thermocouple wire twisted at the end. I am sure there are better ways, but why does this not work? I did try...
