WHAT IS KARAT GOLD? Pure gold is called 24k. In numerical terms, this would be 0.999 fine gold. Numerical terms are also used to show the karat of gold in the international trade. Karat simply shows the amount of pure gold in the recipe used to make gold for jewelry. For instance, 9kt gold is 9 parts pure gold out of 24 parts in total. So, 9kt is numerically 9/24 or 0.375. If marked in the jewelry with a number instead of a kt mark, the mark would be 375.
Generally, 9kt is characteristic of British jewelry and of countries connected with Great Britain. The Brits are picky about jewelry markings and place a series of marks on jewelry, including date, assay office and quality (karat) of the item.
Karat gold is gold generally of less than pure or 24kt. Pure gold is simply too soft for jewelry wear and a recipe is used to make the various karats from 18kt to 9kt. The recipe includes pure gold and a mix of copper and silver primarily. For white gold, nickel or palladium is added. The other metals are added to make the gold hard enough for jewelry usage while still workable by the jewelry manufacturer. In a nutshell, karat simply shows how much pure gold is in the metal of which the jewelry is made.
If you consider 18kt gold, this is 18/24 or 750, the same as 75% pure gold. Nine karat gold is 37.5% pure gold.
HARDNESS AND DURABILITY. The metals added to pure gold to make karat gold for jewelry change the character of the metal. 9 kt has more copper than 18kt for instance. This will make 9kt a harder metal. This added copper will also make 9kt more prone to tarnish than 18kt gold. The tarnish is mostly seen as a dull look and a loss to some extent of the "yellow" color. Still, if the tarnish forms, it is easily removed with a good polishing cloth or by a quick buff by a jeweler.
tbe is cheaper than tae
*aromatics are hydrocarbons with alternating double and single bonds between carbon atoms forming ring. *essentially, mixed aromatics is gasoline blend stock with other cheaper material blending in
Urethane rubber is actually not rubber. It is known as urethane elastomer and is cheaper than Silicone rubber. However, it does not last a long and requires the application of a release agent before every casting. It is cheaper than silicone rubber and has a higher tear strength.
PG is cheaper and thinner, but for some persons may be allergenic (normally not). Glicerine is thicker and expensive, but more natural and less allergenic. This is all I know for now!

Microsoft says the difference between the standard (not elite) and arcade is: There is a difference in hard drive size Xbox 360 Arcade cannot play ALL original xbox games. Arcade comes with arcade games such as Uno Arcade is cheaper By pro i believe you mean "elite console". The elite console is black, not white and has a MASSIVE hard drive. But the elite is very expensive. I would go for the standard.
One difference between the two are of course the names. Sam's Wholesale also sells things in bulk which makes things cheaper than Walmart which is another difference.
The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
