Handy Construction Data; Facts; and Information Plate B-1 Handy Things to Know 1. TO FIND -   (a) the circumference of a circle, multiply the diameter by 3.1416 (approx. 3 1/7).     (b) the diameter of a circle, multiply the circumference by .31831.     (c) the area of a circle, multiply the square of the diameter by .7854.     (d) the area of a triangle, multiply the base by 1/2 the perpendicular height.     (e) the volume of a sphere, multiply cube of the diameter by .5236.     A gallon of water weighs 8 1/2 pounds.     A gallon of water contains 231 cubic inches.     A cubic foot of water contains 7 1/2 gals., 1728 cubic inches and weighs 62 1/2 lbs.     In board measure all boards are assumed to be 1 inch thick. Area of a lineal foot multiplied by length in feet will give the surface contents in square feet.   PLATE B-1-a SANITATION OF PERSONAL SAFETY DEVICES (except respiratory protective equipment)   Thorough scrubbing with soap and hot water is ordinarily adequate for cleaning purposes. When additional cleaning appears necessary, one of the following treatments should be used, in addition to the soap and water scrubbing:     (1) Immerse in boiling water for five (5) minutes.     (2) The method recommended by the manufacturer for cleaning and sterilizing.     After following any of these procedures, the equipment should be thoroughly rinsed with water and hung up to dry.     Such items that have been in contact with the skin of the wearer must be replaced if they cannot be cleaned as described.     Note: Authority cited: Section 142.3, Labor Code.
