Tombstoning can refer to:

  • A term in the chip soldering industry describing a situation wherein a soldering defect causes a chip component to stand up on end (like a tombstone), leaving one end soldered to the board and the other end free. It is caused during the reflow soldering process where non-uniform melting causes an unbalanced force to be applied to the chip from the solder.
  • A term used in the UK for an outdoor pursuit involving diving off a high fixed point such as sea harbour walls, bridges, rocks and cliff faces into water. It is highly risky if the water depth or the existence of submerged rocks or objects is unknown and can result in serious injury or death.
  • Using dead peoples' names for committing financial fraud and identity theft.
  • A WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) process which marks records for deletion. The marks are also replicated to other WINS servers to prevent tombstoned (but not deleted) records from being propagated.
  • Occurs when a surfer is so deep below the surface that his leash has fully outstretched. The surfer's weight pulling down props up the board at water level like a tombstone.
  • A term used in hospitals when elderly patients are facing imminent death.
  • A typographic term to describe the undesirable occurrence of two or more headlines or titles from separate columns appearing on the same horizontal line.
