Ball – a round or roundish body or mass
Ruler – A ruler can be defined as a tool or device used to measure length and draw

straight lines.
Teflon gasket – Teflon, a synthetic fluoropolymer with excellent dielectric properties
and a low coefficient of friction, is the DuPont brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE). Teflon gaskets provide excellent thermal insulation and resist corrosive
chemicals. At temperatures about 500° F, however Teflon seals begin to
decompose.
Rectangular wood
Double beam Balance – A double beam balance, also called a double pan balance,
is a scale that acts like a see-saw and gets its name from the two pans or balances
on either side of a fulcrum.
Non asbestos – Non-Asbestos Fibre materials are so-called because they fill the
gap in the range of gasket materials previously occupied by asbestos. Asbestos,
although considered to be a dangerous material, had excellent heat resistance
properties, which is why it was utilised so widely in high temperature applications.
When asbestos was outlawed, replacement materials were needed; so these
asbestos-free, or non-asbestos, materials were developed to perform the same
function, but without the corresponding problems.
