In the United States, tampons are a Class II medical device. The word tampon originated from the medieval French word tampion, meaning a piece of cloth to stop a hole, a stamp, plug, or stopper. Chambers 20th Century Dictionary (0.00 / 0 votes) Rate this definition:
Most alphanumeric tires feature a load range of B, which indicates that they are restricted to the load that can be carried at a maximum inflation pressure of 32 psi. C, D, or E tires are capable of greater loads. Most load range C, D, and E tires are intended for light-truck applications.
Tires are given a maximum load rating based on the tire's size, construction and inflation pressure. P-metric sized tires--tires with sizes starting with a P such as P235/75R15--are given a load range rating of either SL or XL. SL stands for Standard Load and XL indicates extra load. An SL-rated tire has its maximum load capacity at an inflation pressure of 35 psi. XL tires can carry a heavier load when inflated to 41 psi.
