Vapour Pressure Thermometer [is] a closed system of bulb, capillary & bourdon tube fitted partially with a vapourisable liquid volume sensitive bourdon tube [that] winds - unwinds depending on temperature variations. 4, record 1, English, - vapour%20pressure%20thermometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A vapor pressure thermometer [contains] a solvent encased in metal attached to a pressure gauge. As the temperature rises, the vapor pressure of the liquid inside rises. Since vapor pressure is independent of the length of the metal tube connected to the pressure gauge, this type of sensor is good for remote places. The bulb is located at the remote site, but the operator reads the pressure gauge at a more convenient area. 2, record 1, English, - vapour%20pressure%20thermometer

Cycle d'arrosage. Lorsqu'un réseau fixe de distribution à la parcelle comporte plusieurs unités parcellaires d'arrosage, l'arrosage successif de toutes les unités constitue un cycle d'arrosage. Au cours du cycle d'arrosage, il y a commutation, c'est-à-dire passage du débit d'un poste au poste suivant, par fermeture de la vanne commandant le premier et ouverture de la vanne commandant le second. La commutation peut être manuelle, semi-automatique ou automatique. Dans ce dernier cas, le cycle est généralement déclenché, soit à partir d'une horloge où le programme d'arrosage a été inscrit par l'irrigant, soit à partir d'un tensiomètre réglé sur un certain niveau de la réserve en eau du sol, soit à partir d'un appareil permettant d'estimer l'évapotranspiration. 1, record 2, French, - commutation
