text:
The mountains and hills of the British Isles[a] are categorised into lists based on elevation (or "height"), prominence (or "relative height", or "drop"), and other criteria (e.g. isolation). These lists are used for peak bagging, whereby hillwalkers attempt to reach all the summits on a list, the oldest and best-known list being the 282 § Munros in Scotland, which (amongst other criteria) are above 3,000 feet (914.4 m).
A height above 2,000 ft, or more latterly 600 m, is considered necessary to be a "mountain" in the British Isles, and apart from the Munros (who favour isolation), all lists require a prominence of at least 15 metres (49.21 ft). A prominence of between 15 and 30 metres (49.21 and 98.43 ft) – e.g. some § Nuttalls and § Vandeleur-Lynams – does not meet the UIAA definition of an "independent" peak. Most lists consider a prominence between 30 and 150 metres (98.43 and 492.1 ft) as a "top", and not a mountain (e.g. many § Hewitts and § Simms). A popular designation is the § Marilyns, with a prominence above 150 metres (492.1 ft). Prominences above 600 metres (1,969 ft), are the § P600 (the "Majors"), the international classification of a "major" mountain.

It's about 7 o'clock in the morning and I'm in Fort William in the western Highlands of Scotland. And I'm going to hopefully climb Ben Nevis today. I've had a cold all week so I'm not sure if I'm going to make it all the way to the top but I'm definately going to give it a good try. It's very late September, so it's cold. Just looking at my windscreen as you can see we've had a pretty cold night and this is at sea level so four and a half thousand foot up should be a bit colder. See the ground is very frosty as well. I've never actually climbed Ben Nevis before - never done any hiking in Scotland before. It's 4,409 foot, so it's the tallest one in Scotland and also the tallest one in the British Isles. So it's going to be very good to actually finally climb this thing. As you can hear I've got a cold. I've had a cold all week and actually had a day off work, but I'd booked a hire car and I'd booked my hotel in Fort William so I thought I might as well drive up and at least give it a shot. We'll see how far I get up and hopefully I'll get to the top, but I'm very tired so go easy on me if I don't make it. I'm going to take the Tourist Path to the top. It's only, I feel it's the only decent footpath for going to the top without actually resorting to climbing. Ben Nevis has got three very steep edges and it's only its western edge that is flat enough for people to hike up it properly without mountaineering gear. So, no time like the present, let's keep on moving. It's quite a nice view of Glen Nevis here with the River Nevis in the bottom. See the sunlight touching the tops of all the mountains? And Glen Nevis is still dark. You see the river actually bends around and curls around and Glen Nevis is between those mountains over there. It's a small little lake up in the hills. When I was passing the river, Red Burn, it was getting really cold - it's still very cold here because it's still not in sunshine. But there's ice everywhere, so it's probably going to be very icy up on top. I'm still feel pretty rough, I've got this cold and stuff like that, it's making it hard to breathe. But I'm going to keep on going, I'm making fairly good time. You don't get anywhere by quiting half way up. Especially without giving it a nice full try, so I'm going to keep on going for now. Well I'm actually in sunlight now. I've only just got into sunlight. Get a better view of Loch Linnhe. Think I can almost see the ocean. It's a wonderful clear day. There you can see the Great Glen Fault - you can't actually see it but that's the area of it. It's a really ancient fault line that runs all the way across Scotland. So north of it is the Highlands and south is the Grampians. It's hundreds of millions of years old and it is not active anymore The entire British Isles is probably one of the least seismically active places in the world. But this fault is very very ancient and I believe it's got a twin in Newfoundland, Canada They're actually bays that lead out into the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean and also form part of the Caledonian Canal which runs all the way up to Fort Augustus, through Loch Ness and then all the way to Inverness. Cuts right across Scotland. Looking up at Ben Nevis you can see the topsoil is starting to disappear and we're left with all these loose rocks and scree. I'm doing some switchbacks so it's actually quite easy going and it's not a hard climb to get to the top at all I have always loved this I don't know what it's actually called, but it's when the water freezes and pushes the ground up in these little thin needles. I saw it all the time on the Appalachian Trail when it was cold. I'm getting nearer to the top now and you can see it's all scree underfoot. It's kind of hard to walk on in places. Just following a line of cairns. Well I'm pretty much on top of Ben Nevis now, it's just a short walk to the summit cairn. It took about 3 and half hours to get up. I was allowing myself 5 hours, so I've done extremely well. Now you can see why it's so hard to come up any other direction than the west because you can see it's very steep. Can see ice around here. Last bit of climb. Interesting seeing some of the old timbers and ruins on top. A lot of stuff has been taken up this mountain. In, I think it was, 1911 someone spent about a week driving a Model T Ford up Ben Nevis. In the 80's some Glasgow university students brought a bed up here, and a guy played an organ on top which he'd carried up himself. Obviously you can see the hut there, the emergency shelter. In, I think it was 1881, a guy called Clement Wragge climbed up Ben Nevis every single day to take weather readings and two years later they finally built an observatory and that ran for 21 years taking weather readings. Imagine climbing this every single day rain or shine. Though I'm told the data it gathered was extremely useful in understanding weather patterns in the mountains. "These are the remains of the meteorological observatory which with the path from Achintee was built in 1883 with publicly subscribed funds. It was managed by the Scottish Meteorological Society and representatives of the Royal Societies of London & Edinburgh. Hourly obersvations were maintained for 21 years and sent by telegraph via Fort William to the meteorological services throughout Europe. The broken spectre seen from here on cloud in the great corrie by C.T.R. Wilson in 1894 led him to researches the culminated in the development of the Wilson Cloud Chamber and for which he was awarded a Noble Prize in 1927" It's not much but it'll save your life. This is a pretty good view of the Fort William area. Now there are two places called Fort William, one is an actual fort and one was the town that grew up around it. The fort was the one named first after William III. William III was king of the British Isles along with his wife Mary and they deposed James II and I think in Scotland he was James VII. He was the last catholic king of Britain and he was far too catholic, far too pro-French and he was a bit of an absolute monarch. And the town of Fort William is to do with the Jacobite uprisings which were in 1600's and 1700's and were to do with restoring the Stuart line which had ended with James. Now the William that's named after was one of the sons of George II, so there you go a little bit of history which I've probably got completely wrong. Could this have been any more of a perfect day to climb Ben Nevis? Look at this warm sunshine. Well I'm down from Ben Nevis now at the Ben Nevis Inn. I've just had a really ice cold Coca Cola. Felt good. It's probably only about half past two in the afternoon, so I've made extremely good time. Now I have a seven hour drive back to Sheffield and then I'm at work at 8 o'clock in the morning. It's a good job I got back about now It's turning into a really warm day actually, so I'm glad I did most of the climbing while it was still cold. I think it's been a fantastic day out. Let's get going.

General concepts
There is no worldwide consensus on the definition of "mountain", but in Great Britain and Ireland it is often taken to be any summit at least 2,000 feet (or 610 metres) high (also called elevation).[2][3][4][5][6] The UK government defines mountain as land over 600 metres (1,969 ft) for the purposes of freedom of access.[7] When Calf Top in Cumbria, was re-surveyed in 2016 and confirmed to be almost exactly 2,000 ft, 6 millimetres above the 609.6 m threshold for a 2,000 ft peak, the Ordnance Survey described Calf Top as England's "last mountain".[8]

- List of Marilyns in the British Isles, a ranking by height and prominence on the Marilyn classification (any height, prominence over 150 m)
- List of P600 mountains in the British Isles, a ranking by height and prominence on the P600 classification (any height, prominence over 600 m)
In addition, all British Isles definitions, with the exception of definitions that rely on § Isolation, include a minimum topographical prominence requirement (also called relative height, or drop, or re-ascent, between neighbouring peaks), which is typically 30–600 m (98–1,969 ft).[4]
The lowest minimum prominence is 15 metres (49.21 ft), the Nuttalls and Vandeleur-Lynams, however most definitions do not consider prominences below 30 metres (98.43 ft). Many definitions use the term Tops to refer to the sub-class of peaks that do not meet a 150 metres (492.1 ft) prominence threshold for the main definition, but have a prominence of between 30–150 metres (98.43–492.1 ft). Some definitions ignore height completely and just focus purely on prominence (e.g. P600s, Marilyns, and HuMPs).
Prominence requirements are even strongly debated regarding UIAA classification of major Himalayan mountains.[9][10] In 1994, regarding classification of summits, the UIAA stated that for a "peak" to be independent (e.g. not a sub-peak of a mountain), it needed a prominence over 30 m, and in addition, a "mountain" had to have a prominence over 300 m.[11]
Unlike the single measurement of elevation, prominence requires the detailed measurement of all contours around the peak, and is therefore subject to change and revision over time, and thus tables based on prominence are subject to revision.[12] Some definitions use an imperial measurement for height, but a metric measurement for the topological prominence (e.g. Murdos, Hewitts and Nuttals).

Classifications listed below which are based on the quantitative metrics of elevation and prominence (and which apply to whole countries, not parts of countries) are summarised in the diagram opposite (classifications such as Donalds, which are not sufficiently quantitative, are not in the diagram).
No definition of a British Isles mountain or hill uses an explicit quantitative metric of topographic isolation (e.g. distance to the next point of equal height), however, the concept of isolation is embedded in the qualitative definition of a Scottish Munro, from the Scottish Mountaineering Club requirement of "sufficient separation" (instead of prominence).[13]
Mountains in Scotland are frequently referred to as "hills" no matter what their height, as reflected in names such as the Cuillin Hills and the Torridon Hills.
Database of British and Irish Hills
The Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) was created in 2001 "with the intention of providing a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for British hillwalkers".[14][15][16] It is now maintained by a team of eight editors, and is described by the Long Distance Walkers Association as "now the most reliable online source for all Registers" (i.e. all lists of summits attained).[17] The DoBIH has been used as a source by books, hillwalking websites and smartphone apps, including Mark Jackson's 2010 book on the HuMPS, titled "More Relative Hills of Britain".[18]
DoBIH is available as a downloadable database[15] or in an online version under the title Hill Bagging.[b][20] As of August 2018[update] the database included 20,859 hills, including all Marilyns, HuMPs, TuMPs, Simms, Dodds, Munros and Tops, Corbetts and Tops, Grahams and Tops, Donalds and Tops, Furths, Hewitts, Nuttalls, Buxton & Lewis, Bridges, Murdos, Deweys, Donald Deweys, Highland Fives, Wainwrights, Birketts, Synges, Fellrangers, County tops, SIBs (Significant Islands of Britain), Dillons, Arderins, Vandeleur-Lynams, Myrddyn Deweys, Carns and Binnions, "with subs and deletions".[21]
The DoBIH has had a data-sharing agreement with the Irish online database of mountains and hills since 2012; this is called MountainViews.[14]
British Isles
P600 (the "Majors")
(any height, prominence 600 m)
The P600s are mountains in the British Isles that have a topographical prominence of at least 600 metres (1,969 feet), regardless of absolute height or other merits; although by definition, a prominence of over 600 m in the British Isles will also imply an elevation that is also above 600 m. The list was also developed by Alan Dawson in 2004 (creator of the Marilyn list), and refined in 2004 and 2006.[22] Dawson initially used a 2,000 ft metric (or 610 m, the P610s), and called his list the "Majors", as it is one of the shortest of the noted lists of mountains in the British Islands, and one of the most testing requirements. The term "Major" is often used by others when listing the P600 peaks.[23][24][25] In 2006, 93 P600s were identified in Great Britain: 82 in Scotland, 4 in England and 7 in Wales. These, together with 1 in Northern Ireland, 1 on the Isle of Man, and 24 P600s in the Republic of Ireland, brought the total number of P600 mountains in the British Isles to 119.[22] However, since 2006, Welsh peak Moel Siabod's prominence was recalculated to 600 metres, and the list of P600s was expanded to 120.[26][27]
The British Isles P600s contain 54 of the 282 Scottish Munros, and 10 of the 34 Non-Scottish Munros, which are also called § Furths; these 64 British Isles mountains meet the designation of being above 3,000 feet (914 metres) in height, and 600 metres (1,969 feet) in prominence (e.g. "Super-Majors").
P600 is an important international mountain classification criterion, along with Ultras or P1500, prominence above 1,500 metres (4,921 feet).[28][29] The online version of The Database of British and Irish Hills also offers a P500 mountain classification, prominence above 500 metres (1,640 feet).[30]
(any height, prominence 150 m)
The Marilyns are mountains and hills in the British Isles that have a topographical prominence of at least 150 metres (490 feet), regardless of absolute height or other merits. As at October 2018, there were 1,552 Marilyns in Great Britain:[31] 1,219 in Scotland, 175 in England, and 158 in Wales (Black Mountain, on the England-Wales border, is counted as being in Wales). There are 454 Marilyns in Ireland (389 in the Republic of Ireland and 66 in Northern Ireland), and 5 on the Isle of Man, bringing the total for the British Isles to 2,011. The list was first compiled in 1992 by Alan Dawson.[32][29] The name was coined as a humorous contrast to the designation Munro, which is homophonous with [Marilyn] Monroe. The Marilyns are one of the most popular lists for peak baggers.

- List of Marilyns in Scotland, detailed lists by sections in Scotland
(any height, prominence 100 m)
The Marilyns were expanded in 2007 by the HuMPs (Hundred and upwards Metre Prominence) which reduces the prominence requirement to 100 m (330 ft). Therefore, all British Isles Marilyns are British Isles HuMPS (but not vice versa).[33] The list was compiled by Mark Jackson from a number of sources and published online in 2010 in More Relative Hills of Britain.[18] There are 2,986 HuMPs in the British Isles: 2,168 in Scotland, 833 in Ireland, 444 in England, 366 in Wales and 11 in the Channel Islands.[33]
(height 600 m, prominence 30 m)
A Simm is a mountain in the British Isles that is over 600 m (1,969 ft) high and has a prominence of at least 30 m (98 ft). The word comes from Six-hundred Metre Mountain.[34] There are currently 2,754 recorded Simms in the British Isles, including 2,188 Scottish Simms, 192 English Simms, 149 Welsh Simms, 1 Isle of Man Simm, and 224 Irish Simms.[c][34] By definition, all Simms are also TuMPs (see below) and most, if not all, are mountains, depending on whether 600 metres or 2,000 feet (610 m) (e.g. a § Hewitts), is used as the criterion. The idea of the Simm was introduced by Alan Dawson in June 2010, who noted that a Simm was the "broadest credible definition of what could be objectively conceived as a mountain in Britain".[29] As of October 2018[update], 6,414 people had registered themselves as having climbed all 282 Scottish Munros,[35] over 270 people had registered climbing all 1,552 Marilyns of Great Britain,[36] while only 2 people had registered completion of the 2,529 Simms of Great Britain, and no one had yet declared completion of all 2,754 Simms of the British Isles.[37]
- List of mountains of the British Isles by height, a ranking by height and prominence on the Simms classification (height over 600m, prominence over 30 m)
(any height, prominence 30 m)
In 2010, Mark Jackson further expanded the HuMPS and compiled the TuMPs (Thirty and upwards Metre Prominence), a list of all hills in Britain having a prominence above 30 m (98 ft).[38] By definition, all Murdos, Corbett Tops, Graham Tops, Hewitts and Deweys are also TuMPs. There are 17,044 TuMPs;[39] approximately half of that number that did not appear in previously researched lists were researched by Mark Jackson between 2006 and 2009. Since 2012 the list has been published and maintained by the editors of The Database of British and Irish Hills.[31]
Scotland only
(height 3,000 ft, other SMC criteria)
The Munros are mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet (914.4 m). The list was originally compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891, and is modified from time to time by the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC).[40] Unlike most other lists, the Munros do not depend on a rigid prominence criterion for entry; instead, those that satisfy the subjective measure of being a "separate mountain" are regarded as Munros, while subsidiary summits are given the status of Munro Tops. There are 282 Munros, and 227 further Munro Tops, totalling 509 summits, all of them in the Scottish Highlands.
Real Munro is used to describe Munros with a prominence over 150 metres (490 ft) (the Marilyn prominence threshold),[41] and there are 202 Real Munros in Scotland. Of the 282 Scottish Munros, 54 meet the 600 metres (1,969 ft) in prominence to be P600s.
Metric Munro is used to describe the Munros with a height above 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and a prominence either over 200 metres (660 ft) (of which there are 88), or a prominence over 100 metres (330 ft) (of which there are 130).[42]

- List of Munros in Scotland by Section, a breakdown of Munros into the Munro's Tables format
(height 3,000 ft, prominence 30 m)
The Murdos apply objective criteria to the Munros and their associated tops. They comprise all the summits in Scotland over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) with a prominence of at least 30 metres (98 ft). There are currently 442 Murdos,[31] compared to 282 Munros, or 509 Munros plus Munro Tops. Alan Dawson first compiled the list in 1995.[43]
All Murdos are also Munro Tops, but many Munro Tops fail to qualify as Murdos because of insufficient relative height. Before 1997 there were seven Murdos that were not Munro Tops, some with quite substantial relative heights.[44] All seven were included in the 1997 edition of Munro's Tables, plus two non-Murdos: Little Pap on Lochnagar and Knight's Peak on Sgurr nan Gillean (deleted in September 2013 after surveying showed it to be below 3000 feet.[45] Little Pap has an estimated drop of only 22 metres[31] and the reason for its re-introduction to the list, following its removal in the 1981 edition of Munro's Tables,[46] is unclear.

(height 2,500–3,000 ft, prominence 500 ft)
The Corbetts are peaks in Scotland that are between 2,500 and 3,000 feet (762.0 and 914.4 m) high with a prominence of at least 500 feet (152.4 m).[47] The list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a Bristol-based climber and SMC member, and was published posthumously after his sister passed it to the SMC.[40] As of October 2018[update] there were 222 Corbetts, many of them in areas of Scotland with no Munros, include Moidart, Ardgour, the Southern Uplands and the islands of Arran, Jura, Rùm and Harris.
A list of Corbett Tops, covering every mountain in Scotland with between 2,500 and 3,000 feet (762.0 and 914.4 m) of height and between 100 and 500 feet (30.48 and 152.4 m) of prominence, was published by Alan Dawson in 2001. There are currently 454 Corbett Tops, and thus 676 Corbetts and Corbett Tops in total.[31]
(height 2,000–2,500 ft, prominence 150 m)
The Grahams are mountains in Scotland between 2,000 and 2,499 feet (610 and 762 metres) high, with a drop of at least 150 metres (490 feet) all round.[48] The list of mountains fitting these criteria was first published in 1992 by Alan Dawson in The Relative Hills of Britain[32] as the Elsies (LCs, short for Lesser Corbetts). They were later named Grahams after the late Fiona Torbet (née Graham) who had compiled a similar list around the same time. Dawson continues to maintain the list, which As of October 2018[update] contained 219 hills distributed as follows: Highlands south of the Great Glen 87, Highlands north of the Great Glen 84, Central and Southern Scotland 23, Skye 10, Mull 7, Harris 3, Jura 2, Arran 1, Rum 1, South Uist 1. The number of Grahams was reduced from 224, following surveys in 2014 that showed Corwharn, Ben Aslak and Ladylea Hill to be below 609.6 metres (2,000 feet) high.[31][49]
Dawson in 2004 published a list of Graham Tops covering every mountain in Scotland with between 2,000 and 2,500 feet (609.6 and 762.0 m) of height and between 30 and 150 metres (98.43 and 492.1 ft) of prominence. There are currently 776 Graham Tops, and thus 995 Grahams and Graham Tops in total.[31]
(height 2,000 ft, prominence mostly over 100 ft, Scottish lowlands)
The Donalds are mountains in the Scottish Lowlands over 2,000 ft (610 m), amongst other criteria. The list was compiled by Percy Donald in 1935, and is maintained by the SMC.[40] Whether a high point is a Donald is determined by a complicated formula which also contains qualitative elements around "sufficient topographical interest".[50] The formula necessitates the splitting of Donalds into Donald Hills and Donald Tops. In general, all Donald Hills have a prominence over 100 feet (30.5 m), but the prominence of Donald Tops can range from 16–220 feet (4.9–67.1 m). Donalds can be Corbetts or Grahams and the SMC state that: "Percy Donald's original Tables are seen as a complete entity, unlike the Munros, Corbetts and Grahams."[50] There are 140 Donalds, comprising 89 Donald Hills and 51 Donald Tops.[50]
Given the complexity of the Donald classification, the simpler New Donalds was introduced by Alan Dawson in his 1995 book The Grahams and the New Donalds, with an explicit prominence threshold of 30 m (98.4 ft);[51] there are 118 New Donalds, and while all Donald Hills are New Donalds, 22 Donald Tops are not.[52]
Outside Scotland
(height 3,000 ft, any prominence)
Furths are mountains in Great Britain and Ireland furth of (i.e. "outside") Scotland that would otherwise qualify as Munros or Munro Tops. They are sometimes referred to as the Irish, English or Welsh Munros. There are 34 furths; 15 in Wales, 13 in Ireland and 6 in England. The highest is Snowdon. Of these 34 SMC identified Furths, 33 have a prominence above 30 m (98 ft) (e.g. the Murdo Furths), 14 have a prominence above 150 m (490 ft) (e.g. the Real Munro Furths), and 10 have a prominence above 600 m (2,000 ft) (e.g. the P600 Furths).
The Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") maintains the list of Furths and records claims of Munroists who go on to complete the Furths (called "Furthists").[53]
(height 2,000 ft, prominence 30 m)
The Hewitts are Hills in England, Wales and Ireland over two thousand feet (609.6 m), with a relative height of at least 30 metres (98 ft). The English[54] and Welsh[55] lists were compiled and are maintained by Alan Dawson. Dawson originally called them "Sweats" in his book, being Summits – Wales and England Above Two thousand;[56] the Irish[57] list is by Clem Clements. The list addresses one of the criticisms of the Nuttalls by requiring hills to have a relative height of 30 metres (98 ft), thus excluding the 125 least prominent Nuttalls from the list.
As of March 2019[update], the DoBIH listed 525 Hewitts, 209 in Ireland,[c] 180 in England and 136 in Wales. Since their publication in 1997, Birks Fell and Calf Top in England and Mynydd Graig Goch have been added and Black Mountain deemed to be in Wales only. The combination of Murdos, Corbett Tops and Graham Tops comprise the Scottish equivalent of the Hewitts, but their author Alan Dawson regards those classifications as obsolete. Hewitts are a sub-class of the newer 2010 British Isles classification, the § Simms, or "metric Hewitt", with a 600 metres (1,968.5 ft) height threshold, and a 30 metres (98.4 ft) prominence threshold. Simms have replaced Hewitts, however, Dawson still maintains a list of Hewitts.[58]
(height 2,000 ft, prominence 15 m)
The Nuttalls are mountains in England and Wales only (e.g. not Ireland) over 2,000 feet (610 m) with a relative height of at least 15 metres (49 ft). There were 444 Nuttalls in the original list (254 in England and 190 in Wales), compiled by John and Anne Nuttall and published in 1989–90 in two volumes, The Mountains of England & Wales.[2][59] After updates[60] the total reached 446 in August 2018 with the inclusion of Miller Moss.[61]
By including high points that rise by as little as 15 metres (49 ft) above their surroundings, the list of Nuttalls is sometimes criticised for including too many insignificant minor tops. The Hewitts (see above) are one attempt to avoid this. Some Nuttalls would therefore not be considered peaks or mountains under UIAA definitions.[11]
With the exception of Pillar Rock, a rocky outcrop on Pillar in the Lake District, the peaks of all of the Nuttalls can be reached without resort to rock climbing. As of October 2018[update], 302 people are known to have completed the list, though this includes some who did not climb Pillar Rock, which the authors permit. They have also announced that Tinside Rigg and Long Fell (added to the list in 2016) need not be climbed as they are in a restricted area of Warcop Artillery Range.[62]
England only
(subjective listing, Lake District NP)
The Wainwrights are mountains or hills (locally known as fells) in the English Lake District National Park that have a chapter in one of Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. There are 214 Wainwrights in the seven guides. There are no qualifications for inclusion other than Wainwright's choice, although in the introduction he stated that he would include all summits 1000 or more feet high with a prominence of 50 foot.[63] An exception was made for Castle Crag in Borrowdale, at 951 feet (290 m). Wainwright stated that although it was below his 1000-foot criterion, it was a perfect mountain in miniature and demanded inclusion. A further 116 summits were included in the supplementary guide, The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, and are known as the Wainwright Outlying Fells.[64]

(height 1,000 ft, Lake District NP)
The Birketts are all the fell tops over 1,000 feet (304.8 m) within the boundaries of the Lake District National Park. Height and location, but not prominence, are the criteria. The list was devised by Bill Birkett as the basis for his 1994 book Complete Lakeland Fells.[66] There are 541 of these tops, and they include 209 of the 214 Wainwrights, and 59 of the 116 Wainwright Outlying Fells.[67] The 5 Wainwrights that are not Birketts are: Armboth Fell, Baystones, Castle Crag (which, at 951 feet (290 m), is Wainwright's only sub-1,000 ft summit), Graystones and Mungrisdale Common. Birketts are listed in the § Database of British and Irish Hills.[31]
Ireland only
(height 600 m, prominence 15 m)
The Vandeleur-Lynam is the Irish equivalent of a Nuttall, except that the definition is fully metric, with a height requirement of 600 metres (1,969 ft), and prominence requirement of 15 metres (49 ft).[68] As with the Nuttalls, Vandeleur-Lynams do not meet the UIAA requirements for a "peak" or "mountain".[11] In 1952, Irish climber Joss Lynam produced a list of 2,000 ft Irish summits with 50 ft drop with assistance from Rev CRP Vandeleur. Lynam updated a version of this list and published it in a reprint of "Mountaineering in Ireland" by Claude Wall, printed in 1976. The metricised equivalent was first published in 1997.[69] There are 273 Vandeleur-Lynams in Ireland.[70]
(height 500 m, prominence 30 m)
The Arderins are mountains in Ireland above 500 m (1,640 ft), with a prominence over 30 m (98 ft). The list was drawn up in 2002 by the Irish MountainViews publisher Simon Stewart from an early listing of the Myrddyn Deweys with hills from the Vandeleur-Lynams which meet the higher prominence criterion. The name, Arderins, was used in 2009, comes from the 527 m hill, Arderin, which is the County Top for County Laois and County Offaly in Ireland, and translates as "Height of Ireland".[71] The Arderins were published in the 2013 book, "A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins".[68] According to the MountainViews Online Database, Ireland has 407 Arderins,[72] of which 207 are over 2,000 ft and classed as Hewitts, and the 222 are over 600 m and classed as Simms.[c]
In addition, Mountainviews uses the term Arderin Begs for the additional class of peaks over 500 m (1,640 ft) in height, and with a prominence between 15–30 m (49–98 ft). In 2018, Ireland had 124 Arderin Begs.[73]
(height 500 m, prominence 100 m)
In 2013, Simon Stewart, publisher of Irish mountain database MountainViews Online Database, published A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins.[68] In the book, Stewart proposed a new classification of an Irish mountain, being one with a height above 500 m (1,640 ft), and a prominence over 100 m (328 ft). Stewart identified 222 Irish peaks as meeting his new classification. MountainViews used this definition to create the list of 100 Highest Mountains in Ireland,[74] which has also become popular to use in Ireland.[75][76]
(height 400–499.9m, prominence 30m)
MountainViews and Database of British and Irish Hills recognise a list of 337 summits as Carns, having height above 100 m (328 ft) and below 400 m (1,312 ft).[77][78]
(height below 400m, prominence 100m)
MountainViews and Database of British and Irish Hills recognise a list of 484 summits as Binnions, having prominence at least 100 m (328 ft) and height below 400 m (1,312 ft).[79][78] Binnion Hill is a summit of 250m in County Donegal, site of the Battle of Binnion Hill and possibly the source of the name.[80]
County tops
Climbing in the highest point of each county is a popular form of peak bagging, dating back to the 1920s when John Rooke Corbett was attempting to visit all British County Tops.

Other active lists
(height 500m to <2,000 ft, prominence 30 m)
The Deweys and related categories extend the Hewitts of England, Wales and Ireland to 500 metres, and include summits in Scotland, where there are no Hewitts.
- The Deweys are peaks in England, Wales and the Isle and Man between 500 metres and 2,000 feet (609.6 metres) in height, with a prominence above 30 metres (98 feet), which were listed by Michael Dewey in 1995.[81] Deweys extend the England and Wales Hewitts below 2,000 feet, but above 500 metres. There are 426 Deweys identified: 241 in Wales, 180 in England, and 5 in Manx.[82]
- The Donald Deweys are peaks in the Scottish lowlands (e.g. like the Donald classification), between 500 metres and 2,000 feet (609.6 metres) in height, with a prominence above 30 metres (98 feet), which were listed by David Purchase in 2001.[83] Donald Deweys are the Scottish lowland equivalent of Deweys. There are 248 Donald Deweys.[83]
- The Highland Fives are peaks in the Scottish highlands, between 500 metres and 2,000 feet (609.6 metres) in height, with a prominence above 30 metres (98 feet), which were listed by Rob Woodhall in 2003.[84] Highland Fives are the Scottish highland equivalent of Deweys. There are 774 Highland Fives.[84]
- The Myrddyn Deweys are peaks in Ireland, between 500 metres and 2,000 feet (609.6 metres) in height, with a prominence above 30 metres (98 feet), which were listed by Michael Dewey and Myrddyn Phillips in 2000.[85] Myrddyn Deweys are the Irish equivalent of Deweys. There are 200 Myrddyn Deweys.[85]
(height 500 to <600m, prominence 30 m)
The Dodds is a list of hills in the England, Wales, and Scotland between 500–600 metres (1,600–2,000 feet) in height, with a prominence above 30 metres (98 feet). The criteria for Dodds are designed to include Simms below 600 metres, but above 500 metres. In 2015, the Relative Hills of Britain website identified 1,339 Dodds.[86] The name comes from DOnald Deweys, Deweys and Scotland.[87]
(hill range summits)
A Hardy is the highest point of a UK hill range, a UK island over 1,000 acres (400 hectares) or 4.05 km²) or a UK top-tier administrative area (counties and unitary authorities). There are now 347 Hardys with the recent addition (up to July 2016) of 5 low lying English coastal estuary islands: 61 hill ranges, 96 islands and 190 administrative areas. 183 are in England, 31 in Wales, 107 in Scotland and 26 in Northern Ireland. The list was first compiled in the 1990s by Ian Hardy.[88][89]
Non-active lists
The Database of British and Irish Hills recognises as Bridges the 407 summits in George Bridge's Mountains of England and Wales: Tables of the 2000ft Summits (1973, West Col Productions).[78][90] Bridge used a prominence threshold of 50 feet but was hampered by the accuracy of the maps available at the time. The list was effectively replaced by the Nuttalls, which uses the metric equivalent of 15 metres.[30]
Buxton & Lewis
The Database of British and Irish Hills recognises as Buxton & Lewis the 422 summits in Mountain Summits of England and Wales by Chris Buxton and Gwyn Lewis (1986, ISBN 9780951172308, Red Dial Publications).[78][91] Buxton and Lewis used a prominence threshold of two contour rings on the OS 1:50,000 map. The number of hills is similar to the Nuttalls and Bridges.[30]
The Database of British and Irish Hills recognises as Fellrangers the 227 Lake District summits in Mark Richard's Fellranger series of eight guidebooks (originally published by HarperCollins, starting with Central Fells ISBN 9780007113651; reprinted by Cicerone; 2013 boxed set ISBN 978-1852847487),[78] and a list is available on the HillBagging site.[92] There is no height or prominence threshold.[30]
The Database of British and Irish Hills recognises as Synges the 647 Lake District summits in Timothy Synge's The Lakeland Summits: Survey of the Fells of the Lake District National Park (1995, Sigma: ISBN 978-1850584469),[78] and a list is available on the HillBagging site.[93] There is no height or prominence threshold.[30]

The Tumps: A Tump is a hill in Scotland, England, Wales, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands which is separated from adjacent tops by a height difference of at least 30 metres on all sides. The higher of the Tumps, including all over 500m in height, are included on other lists such as the Simms and Deweys. For the lower Tumps, the accuracy of the data on this site is not necessarily as dependable nor subject to as much scrutiny as those above 500m. For lower lying hills it can be much more difficult to identify the actual summit, so some grid references given may be more an indication of the general area of the summit. There is also a greater likelihood of encountering access problems when trying to bag lower Tumps, so please be considerate of land ownership and usage.

The weekend is gone and so are my long days in the garage. While I was at work I was trying to think of ways to make the dadoes easier to cut. I decided to try and make some relief cuts with the circular saw and break that out and then make only 1 pass with the router, since it makes the biggest mess I want to use it as little as possible. I don't plan on putting any holes in the back apron, so I have my first finished part of this project. I still need to sand it and I can't decide how I want to break the edges. I'm leaning towards a 1/8 round over rather than a small chamfer. But that would mean having to buy a round over bit, and while I know I will use it on a lot of projects, I am trying my best not to buy things for this project.
Today I hit the 1 week mark since starting this project. With 30 hours in addition to my normal 9 to 5 it almost feels like a second job. A second non paying job. But somehow it never really feels like work though. I also had something strange happen to me today, I had to pull out a splinter from a fingertip, an odd place for me to get them and while I was flossing I pulled a tiny wood shaving from between my teeth. Go figure.
Here is what the relief cuts looked like.
Take a look at that pile of potential saw dust.

I love the simple packaging for a start, it's to the point and not overly fancy or feminine.. It almost looks medical, but I like that it gets to the point and tells you what you can expect. The bottle is a handy little pump bottle and the actual product inside is like a lightweight gel.
I use one small pump for both eyes, dabbing it under and around my eyes with my ring fingers. It instantly has a slight cool effect which feels refreshing on the skin, the lightweight consistency sinks in really quickly and the under eye area is primed and ready for whatever else you want to do.
This smooths, soothes and instantly brightens under my eyes. If I haven't had much sleep and I put this on it has an awakening feeling that makes me look more alive than like a zombie! And over the time I have been using it I feel like it's plumped and hydrated the sensitive under eye area and it looks much brighter now than when I started.
I've tried eye creams in the past that I've just been putting on because they say that they do good things, but I don't always notice any difference. I did with this and that is why I felt the need to post about it. If you want an eye cream that actually feels like it's helping and working, try this.
Heal Eye Gel is available here.

getting ready for the x-mas party
the ladies have a winter outfit! just in time for the Christmas celebrations over in the studio. Luckily for them I came down with a stomach bug and have to stay indoors while I nurture my aching body; I have been dividing my time between sewing, knitting, sleeping and frequent visits to the bathroom.....
I do wonder if more beings will now want something special to wear.......I could keep these two ladies in the house so no one will see them and get ideas....then again, perhaps that is not quite what is called for in this season of giving.

The "downside" of "making it" in comics
So I'm in Mystic, Connecticut for the weekend staying at Megan's parents' lovely home. As an added bonus, Mystic is only a stone's throw away from New London, where I went to college. I actually took the train here last night and thus got a nice whiff of nostalgia as I stepped out of the station and briefly glimpsed some of my old haunts. Specifically, I spotted my college comic book store, Sarge's Comics, and made a mental note that I had not been there in a couple years now.
Lo and behold, Megan and her mom took a trip to the site of our upcoming wedding today, leaving me alone at their house (her dad mysteriously disappeared) and looking for stuff to do. I figured why not borrow Megan's car and take the 10 minute trip down I-95 to Sarge's.
I once again rode the nostalgia wave into New London and nearly OD'ed on it once I stepped foot within Sarge's, which despite having shuffled some sections around and hired some new people out front still had that old familiarity of the place I redsicovered my love for comics in (and remains for my money the biggest, best, most extensive comic shop I've ever seen).
20 minutes of browsing later, I walked out empty-handed. And I gott be honest, folks: that bummed me out a little.
During those 20 minutes, I saw a lot of comics, trades and toys I thought about buying, but I didn't. To be fair, part of that was due to what I like to think is my growing maturity in a rough economy where I'm doing my best to limit my purchases, but a bigger part was there was not a single item I saw where I couldn't justify not getting it with "I can get this for free" or "I can borrow this from one of my comics-inclined friends."
Don't get me wrong, I still spend a lot of money on new comics each week (particularly for somebody who has that aforementioned access to free goods), but I've been noticing more and more as I hit up conventions and shops I don't get that frenzy for back issues or holy grails anymore.
Certainly this isn't really a bad situation to be in by any stretch of the imagination; even more than the fact that I can get comics by the busload for free by virtue of my career choice and good fortune, I dig that the amount of people I hang out with who actually have robust collections I can pilfer has increased to this point as it means I not only have access to that material, but friends with whom to discuss it.
(As an aside, I just remembered I should also mention that a vast chunk of stuff I didn't buy today consisted of trades I got to read while I was at Wizard, which is a fairly significant x-factor I didn't really figure into this rant)
Still, for the busload of stuff on the plus side, I definitely do miss that feeling of "Holy shit, there is sooooo much stuff here" accompanied by the knowledge I'd be unearthing some hidden gem and bringing it back to my dorm room (wow, that sounded both a little dirty and a little sad) I used to get when I walked into Sarge's. I gotta say I do admire Rickey in that if you read any of his con reports, you know that he still manages to find about eight billion cool little things to buy every time he goes to a show.
The moral of the story is this: of the countless awesome reasons you could have for getting into comics professionally, getting free stuff shouldn't be one of them.*
*I'm kidding; of course it should be.

Great post! In my limited experience in the comics industry, I also found that there was a very slight downside to working behind the scenes.
I found during my short tenure at Marvel that the dribs and drabs of secrets I heard about, or saw first hand, really stole the spark of excitement I used to feel when reading new comics. Where once I was a ravenous Marvel fan with only a slight interest in DC (mainly just Nightwing and Geoff Joihns' books), now I was picking up tons of DC books and almost no Marvel. I remember lamenting the dulled feeling of excitement and feeling guilty about it.
Anyway, since leaving, my Marvel consumption has rebounded pretty dramatically. But that was my experience with the "downside" of working in the comics industry. Then again I never got drinks with Geoff Johns nor have I ever had him name a character after me or my loved ones, so my experiences are similar but to a much lesser extent.
In any event, great post dude.

Oh yeah, no question losing that "surprise over what comes next" feeling is the true downside of working in comics, I just hand't thought about that in ages because it's been awhile. You find ways to adjust and get excited about reaction as opposed to product (in least in my case that's how I roll).

Four years removed from the industry, and I've yet to reclaim the excitement for reading new books. A bummer, I know, but I'm gettin' there.
- September 19, 2009 at 11:52 PM
- Ben Morse said...
I still get excited to read new comics. I've always been proud that Wizard didn't rob me of that, since so many people told me it would.
- September 20, 2009 at 12:52 AM
- JimmyGlenn711 said...
I, thankfully, have reclaimed that excitement, but I found at the time that it wasn't totally gone. With certain writers, no matter how much I knew, the actual execution was often the best part. Also, the visual side of comics really saved other series.
- September 20, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Yeah, sorry dude, this is pretty much a whine-fest.
So, you go one day/weekend and it depresses you? O.o
You DO realize that NEW comics come out, all the time, year round, right?
But, this may speak of your comic book love & addiction, like all of us. I mean, if this gets you down, I suppose you have a love of comics as you want to be excited by them and all.
But yes, getting older, I have closure with not being interested in all the books I used to love. But there are SOOO many different types of comic books (serial and GN's) that I find it IMPOSSIBLE to not find something interesting almost everytime I go to a comic book store.
Again, people, there are many more types of books than just Marvel, DC and of the superhero(tm) genre. ;)

Cars by name
Trucks and Jeeps
Engines / Trans
Repairs / Fixes
Tests and Reviews
by Pete Hagenbuch
retired Chrysler engineer
Maisto is a giant of the diecast model industry. It is based in Thailand, where its models are made. Its product line is at least as long as Ertl's, another giant. Its line is much more varied, though.
Like Ertl, you need to see a Maisto before you buy it. Quality and accuracy range from excellent to disastrous. Among their better models are their Mercedes 300SLR trio, the Audi R8R Le Mans dominator, a very pretty 500K Mercedes Special Roadster, a monstrous (in size) 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible; and one of my favorite Ferraris, the 550 Maranello Berlinetta. The Cadillac is the exact car my younger son and his bride rode in from their wedding to their reception. It was 36 years old and very pink..!
I almost forgot perhaps the best model Maisto has ever made, the 1958 Porsche 550A spyder. For you youngsters who don't know it, this was Porsche's first all-out sports racer, a 1500cc giant killer.* I saw one finish third overall behind one of Briggs Cunningham's Lister Jaguars and a Ferrari 4.1 in the 1959 Road America 500. Maisto also has a 1953 Studebaker coupe newly out. I've seen it in the box but haven't had a chance to study it yet.
Their 300B has been around since late 2000 and generally sells for $20 to $30. I just purchased a second white one for $20 to use in a conversion to NASCAR racing trim. Not a huge job once you've made the decals. Remove the headlights and back seat and replace the wheels and tires is about it.
The Maisto 300B is another one of those which look a whole lot better than they deserve to when studied closely. The paint work is excellent which makes up for a lot. Judging door, hood and deck lid fits is much easier on a white model. And these aren't too good, particularly the doors. Bright trim is well done. Alignment of the single side trim strip from fender to door to fender is good on both sides. Chromium plated hardware, including the grill, is nicely done. Those monster wire wheels which cost $200 a set back then are really pretty as are those big old Goodyears. I doubt you could buy one wheel for $200 today!
Probably the worst exterior feature is the curved glass distortion. Both windshield and backlight are thick and, apparently, uneven. There is no headliner or sun visors, just a couple of pretty massive bosses on each end for attaching the glass.
The interior looks good too, until the details are studied. The instrument panel and steering wheel are nice, as are the seats and door panels. The front seat cushion has some bright trim at each end but the sills are devoid of any decoration. And the whole thing is kind of shut down by the stark, low gloss black paint where the carpet should be. The windshield wipers are cast integral with the windshields lower trim molding, a cost saving with no penalty in the appearance department. As with most models in the lowest price bracket, opening the trunk need only be done once. Ertl doesn't even bother to give us opening deck lids in its lower lines. If you open this one you'll find a one-piece molding which incorporates a spare tire cover and nothing more. The entire trunk interior is the same beige tone as the interior.
So now you're all expecting the hatchet job for the underhood, right? Wrong! There may be a better one in this price range but if so, I haven't seen it! That big old 354 cid hemi (aka Double Rocker) is sitting right there, resplendent in "never-dry" silver with gold head covers and bat-wing air cleaners. There's a big old 12 volt battery with, count 'em, six red caps. There's a radiator yoke with radiator attached plus a fan guard and top hose to the well-detailed intake manifold. There's a power brake reservoir and some stuff on the dash panel that could be interpreted as a heater housing. There is a long skinny cylindrical black thing that a whole lot of you won't recognize as a generator. There is even an embossed and legible Chrysler Firepower on each head cover. With this much good there seems like something bad has to raise its ugly head. This one's not too serious. The head covers, instead of being properly wide as only hemi heads are wide, are sort of truncated just below the spark plug wire covers. Don't look at it too hard and you'll never notice. All said, the underhood guys at Maisto have done themselves proud…!
Unfortunately, there's another negative. The model is closer to 1/19 than 1/18 scale. The wheelbase measures 6 11/16", equivalent to 120.4 inches in 1/18 scale. But all 1956 Chryslers had a 126" wheelbase, making this model 1/18.8. If you want to display it alone, it makes little difference. But if it is to stand near a 1957 Plymouth Fury, for instance, you may ask yourself, was the Fury really bigger? No, it wasn't. So give it away, or sell it, or stomp it. Are you willing to wait till somebody else makes a 300B? Me neither. By the time you have as many cars in your collection as I do you'll have "special cases" scattered all over.
*The Porsche 550A was also the car which movie star James Dean was driving when he died.

My heart, my Ava! I recently read a quote used in a maternity session. It immediatly resulted in tears there is no love like that of a mother.
"No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. Afterall you are the only one that knows what my heart sounds like from the inside."
Ava and I have a little banter that goes like this.
ME: kissy sounds, "Keep those kisses."
Ava: "I keep them in my pocket."
She will often reverse it throwing me kisses and saying, "keep those kisses." Where I of course respond, "I will keep them in my pocket."
I love my girl and my heart and pocket are overflowing with the proof!

St. Kitts locals are all descendants from African slaves who worked in sugar plantations during the Industrial Revolution.
Basseterre, St. Kitts has a vibrant culture and multicultural heritage. You will discover its signature landmarks which include both the French and English colonial architecture of Independent Square, the War Memorial and the Anglican Church.
The Romney Garden is an old estate manor located at the edge of the rain forest surrounded by tropical gardens. The garden offers picturesque views, ideal for photographers who love to take photos focused on nature. The most awesome view in the garden is an incredible 350 year-old Saman Tree with enormous branches that go down along the ground, and then going up again like another tree. Truly am majestic creation, only God can do!

I have to borrow a photo since I wasn't able to take a photo of this tree while I was there :(. Probably because I was overwhelmed visiting the Batik Studios...;).
It is at this location where local artists get their products used for fabrics that they make at Caribelle Batik Studios, for which they became widely acclaimed. They offer demonstrations about batik products' dyeing technique for free for visitors and customers who come and visit. Their batik products are popular sale!
"Batik" is a term they call for a painted cloth made with colorful pattern of different designs. No wonder why visitors love to buy them.
The last and the highlight of the tour is a visit to the 300-year old Brimstone Hill Fortress located on a 40-acre hilltop at 750 ft. above sea level. Its astounding scenic and spectacular views offers high rolling green hills, with brightly-colored villages at the bottom, all surrounded with the sparkling blue ocean. Don't miss visiting the museum, gun ports and bastions of the historic mountainside fortification.
The next 100 years after its first cannons were built in 1690 showed the intermittent construction of an amazing work of architectural and engineering ideas, which is now well-preserved providing scenic views of the coastline, the countryside and the five neighboring islands.

Legislative Update: Advocates Will Testify Today At Statehouse On Two Clean Energy Bills
2 years ago | Feb 06, 2018
Advocates Will Testify Today At Statehouse On Two Clean Energy Bills
The Climate + Energy Project and other proponents of two clean energy bills will testify this afternoon (Tuesday, February 6) before the Kansas Senate Utilities Committee. The hearing begins at 1:30 p.m. in Room 548 South at the Statehouse.
The committee will hear testimony on two bills:
Senate Bill 322
would encourage solar and other distributed generation systems in Kansas by nullifying changes made in 2014 to the Net Metering and Easy Connection Act, which applies only to investor-owned utilities.
SB 322 returns reasonable size limits (25kw for residential customers and 200kw for commercial and industrial customers, plus schools, cities, and churches) and gives customers one-to-one credit for the generation they create and use annually. It also keeps the 1% net meter cap to protect utilities and returns protection to customers from being charged additional fees just because they self-generate some of their electricity.
Senate Bill 347
would establish energy-efficiency goals for Kansas utilities, including annual reductions in natural gas and electricity use starting in 2019.
SB 347 would apply to Kansas public electric or natural gas utilities that are regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. All states with lower rates surrounding Kansas have policies in place (either with goals or mandates) that support utility investments in energy efficiency.
The committee will hear from opponents of the bills at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 7, in the same room at the Statehouse.
Updates From The Clean Energy Business Council
Applications are due Friday, February 9, for one seat on the Kansas Corporation Commission. Applications or nominations
can be submitted online
Updates From The Kansas Rural Center
The Climate + Energy Project is a sponsor of the weekly Policy Watch, produced by the Kansas Rural Center. Issues highlighted in the recent Policy Watch include:
Noxious weeds:
The House Agriculture Committee has scheduled a hearing at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, February 8, on
House Bill 2583
, which would change the state's noxious weed law. The bill would take the declaration of noxious weeds away from the Legislature and give that authority to the Secretary of Agriculture along with a state noxious weed advisory committee. The Secretary of Agriculture would have special emergency powers to declare any plant a noxious weed for up to 18 months without the approval of the advisory committee or issuing a rule and regulation.
Corporate agriculture:
Senate Bill 337
would give residents in a county the right to petition to stop large poultry processing facilities (more than 250,000 birds annually). The bill would bring the poultry industry under the same public scrutiny as hog and dairy facilities, as county residents can petition for a local vote on those types of facilities.

text: The grade 1 to 7 students just completed their two weeks of in-line skating lessons. Some were still learning to balance on two strips of wheels while others were working moving quickly around the gym. According to medical research, inline skating or rollerblading rank in the top 3 activities that improve or maintain physical fitness and general well-being. What a great way to get to and from school! Try rollerblading around the sea wall in Stanley Park or around your neighbourhood. It truly is great fun!

Manufacturing quality control programs must react quickly to prevent lot contamination, parts quarantine or even product recall. ASPEX Corp.'s CleanCHK combines scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) technology for chemical composition with automated particle counting in an integrated system that enables engineers to monitor and control cleanliness.
The CleanCHK system is designed to make data collection and reporting seamless, with simplified menus for easy control. It also is said to be rugged enough to be installed directly on the production floor for faster reaction times.
