DEF

<radio communications> region within which an interrogator’s RF transmissions are attenuated by less than 90 dB

OBS

In free space, the operating environment is a sphere whose radius is approximately 1000 m, with the interrogator located at the centre; in a building or other enclosure, the size and shape of the operating environment depends on factors such as the material properties and shape of the building, and may be less than 1000 m in certain directions and greater than 1000 m in other directions.

OBS

operating environment: term and definition standardized by ISO/IEC [ISO/IEC 19762-4:2008].

Record 3 - external organization data 1998-01-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Transport of Goods
  • Radiation Protection
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

Test for Special Form Radioactive Material.... Percussion test. The material is placed on a lead sheet which is supported by a smooth essentially unyielding surface and struck by the flat face of a steel billet so as to produce an impact equivalent to that resulting from a free fall of 1. 4 kg through 1 m. The flat face of the billet is 25 mm in diameter with the edges rounded off to a radius of 3 mm. The lead, of hardness number 3. 5 to 4. 5 on the Vickers scale and not more than 25 mm thick, covers an area greater than that covered by the material. A fresh surface of lead is used for each impact. The billet strikes the material so as to cause maximum damage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Transport de marchandises
  • Radioprotection
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Épreuves pour les matières radioactives sous forme spéciale. [...] Épreuve de percussion. Les matières sont posées sur une feuille de plomb reposant sur une surface lisse, foncièrement rigide; on les frappe avec la face plane d'une barre d'acier, de manière à produire un choc équivalent à celui que provoquerait un poids de 1,4 kg tombant en chute libre d'une hauteur de 1 m. La face plane de la barre a 25 mm de diamètre et son arête fait un arrondi de 3 mm. Le plomb, d'une dureté de Vickers de 3,5 à 4,5, est d'une épaisseur maximale de 25 mm et couvre une surface plus grande que celle que couvrent les matières. À chaque épreuve, il faut placer les matières sur une partie intacte du plomb. La barre doit frapper les matières de manière à provoquer le plus de dommages possible.

Record 4 1994-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Concrete
CONT

... the term D is a function of the porosimetry of the concrete(D is the ratio of the mean free path of the gas molecules to the radius of the pores). The term D may be evaluated by measuring the "average" radius of the pores by Mercury porosimetry test.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de béton
CONT

[...] le terme D est fonction de la porosimétrie du béton (rapport du libre parcours moyen des molécules d'air au rayon des pores); il peut être évalué lorsque nous mesurons (par porosimétrie au mercure) le rayon «moyen» des pores de l'échantillon testé.

Record 5 1979-01-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
CONT

Consider the effect of rotating a right-circular cylinder(...) about its axis with a peripheral velocity(...) in a fluid otherwise at rest. The fluid in contact with the surface of the cylinder rotates with the cylinder. Fluid at greater radius is also set in motion in concentric circles with velocity diminishing as the radius increase. This type of fluid motion, in which the velocity varies inversely as the radius, is referred to as a free vortex.

Key term(s)
  • free vortices

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
OBS

Par opposition à "vortex forcé".
