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.
The maximum load, designated by a load range letter, is molded into the tireâs sidewall. In contrast, P-metric sizes arenât load-rated. The tire industry has established that, when used in light-truck applications, P-metric sizes lose 9 percent of their LCC (0.909 to be exact).
