GAGE HEAD [6 records]

Record 1 2019-09-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
CONT

Adjustment of plain single-bit cutters may be made in several ways. One common device is, in principle, a V block that fits over the boring bar, with a bracket that mounts a micrometer head. This micrometer is used to gage the extension of the tool.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
CONT

Lecteurs micrométriques. Ces appareils [...] permettent le contrôle à 1/100 de mm près, des déplacements des chariots par lecture directe sur règle graduée, l'interpolation entre les divisions millimétriques étant assurée par une couronne graduée en 1/100 de mm.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Instrumentos de medida (Ingeniería)
CONT

Las cabezas micrométricas montadas en instrumentos de medición con exactitud, son usadas para varios propósitos, incluyendo alimentación y posicionamiento.

Subject field(s)
  • Metal Fasteners
OBS

box nail : A slender wire nail with a large flat head, used in making boxes. It is usually made of lighter gage wire than a sinker nail.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Clouterie et visserie
OBS

Pointe à tête plate.

OBS

Pointes à employer pour le montage des caisses.

OBS

«clous enduits de béton» [en anglais : «cement-coated nails»].

Record 3 2010-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heating
CONT

In the supercooled clouds, the condensed water converted into snow crystals can reach the mountain surface without evaporating.

CONT

The steam heating system conveys steam through pipes to heat exchangers, such as radiators, convectors, baseboard units, radiant panels, fan-driven heaters, and returns the resulting condensed water to the boiler. Such systems normally operate at pressure not exceeding 15 pounds per square inch gage(psig) or 103 kPa gage, and in many designs the condensed steam returns in the boiler by gravity because of the static head of water in the return piping.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chauffage
CONT

[Chauffage à vapeur basse pression.] Les canalisations, que l'on peut classer en deux types : -l'aller qui lie le générateur aux corps de chauffe; cette canalisation est remplie de vapeur; de l'eau de condensation, du fait du refroidissement d'une partie de la vapeur, est véhiculée dans la même canalisation; -le retour : cette canalisation permet le retour de l'eau de condensation à la chaudière [...]

Record 4 1998-03-19

English

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

The height of a column or body of fluid above a given point expressed in linear units.

OBS

Head is often used to indicate gage pressure. Pressure is equal to the height times the density of the fluid.

French

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

Longueur d'une colonne ou d'une masse de fluide mesurée verticalement par rapport à un niveau de référence (souvent utilisée pour exprimer une pression relative).

Record 5 1990-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heating
CONT

The steam heating system conveys steam through pipes to heat exchangers, such as radiators, convectors, baseboard units, radiant panels, or fan-driven heaters, and returns the resulting condensed water to the boiler. Such systems normally operate at pressure not exceeding 15 pounds per square inch gage(psig) or 103 kPa gage, and in many designs the condensed steam returns to the boiler by gravity because of the static head of water in the return piping.

OBS

condensed: reduced from gaseous to liquid state.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chauffage
CONT

[Chauffage à vapeur]. Dans le système avec trappes de retour, on utilise alors des trappes sur chaque radiateur ou convecteur; une trappe permet le passage de l'air et de la vapeur condensée et prévient le passage de la vapeur. Ainsi, la vapeur entre dans le radiateur, et aussitôt qu'elle se condense, elle passe par la trappe pour arriver dans le tuyau de retour.

Record 6 1986-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
DEF

A gage on a rapid sand filter, which indicates the loss of head involved in the filtering operation, and enables the operator to ascertain the need for filter washing. Some gages are of the indicating-recording type.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Traitement des eaux
DEF

Manomètre installé sur un filtre rapide à sable, indiquant la perte de charge durant la filtration. Il signale ainsi à l'opérateur le moment où il doit laver le filtre.
