FUSED SCALE [3 records]

Record 1 2001-09-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
  • Irrigation (Civil Engineering)
DEF

... emitter [that] suppresses major flow fluctuations as compared to the non compensating emitter.

CONT

The pressure compensated dripper is fused to the inner wall of the pipe. Its hydraulic structure and silicone membrane assure a constant flow rate while distributing irrigation water. The emitter is of an innovative design minimizing clogging hazards and therefore fitted for large scale projects. The particles that may clog the emitter are eliminated through wide passages or due to a differential increase in pressure caused by the momentary dilation of the membrane.

OBS

Pressure Compensating: This is the other classification of dripper. This dripper will compensate for higher or lower pressure and give you very close flow rate with either. This feature allows you to make the longest possible single lines with the most drippers on it.

Key term(s)
  • pressure compensated trickler
  • pressure compensating trickler
  • pressure-compensated dripper
  • pressure-compensated emitter
  • pressure-compensated trickler
  • pressure-compensating emitter
  • pressure-compensating dripper
  • pressure-compensating trickler

Domaine(s)
  • Drainage et irrigation (Agriculture)
  • Irrigation (Génie civil)
CONT

L'organe de distribution d'un réseau de micro-irrigation par goutte à goutte est le goutteur. Celui-ci peut être en ligne donc inséré sur la rampe ou en dérivation donc fiché dans la paroi de celle-ci ou relié par l'intermédiaire d'un petit tube appelé conducteur. On distingue des goutteurs à circuit court, des goutteurs à circuit long, des goutteurs à compensation de pression, des goutteurs turbulents à circuit court, qui sont des cyclones miniaturisés, des goutteurs turbulents à circuit long, dits à chicanes ou labyrinthes.

OBS

goutte à goutte : Système de micro-irrigation caractérisé par la distribution de très faibles débits (de un à douze litres par heure) au moyen de goutteurs.

Record 2 1985-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
CONT

In the case of an enclosed scale thermometer, the scale is marked on a «scale-bearing strip» fixed longitudinally behind the capillary tube. The capillary tube and the scale-bearing strip are enclosed in a transparent, sealed tube fused to the bulb and forming a protective sheath.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
CONT

Dans le cas des thermomètres à enveloppe, l'échelle est tracée sur une plaquette porte-échelle fixée longitudinalement derrière le tube capillaire; le tube capillaire et la plaquette porte-échelle sont entourés d'un tube étanche transparent (tube enveloppe) soudé au réservoir et formant enveloppe de protection.
