Record 1 2016-11-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
DEF

The sensitive part of the sensor which is under the direct influence of the quantity measured.

CONT

Recommendation... applies to instruments in which a mechanical measuring sequence transmits the elastic deformation of a sensing element directly to an indicating device comprising a pointer and a scale graduated in authorized pressure units.

OBS

sensing element: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
DEF

Partie sensible du capteur qui se trouve sous l'influence directe de la grandeur mesurée.

CONT

La [...] recommandation [...] s'applique aux instruments dans lesquels une chaîne de mesurage mécanique transmet directement la déformation élastique d'un élément récepteur à un dispositif indicateur comprenant une aiguille et une échelle graduée en unités de pression autorisées.

OBS

élément de détection : terme uniformisé par le Comité d’uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) – Opérations aériennes.

OBS

élément détecteur : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 2 2013-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pest Control Equipment
CONT

The anti-drift nozzles are highly advanced and capable of controlling drift effects. Thanks to a graduated pre-orifice and a specifically designed turbulence chamber a reduction in pressure is created which leads to a reduction in the small droplets subject to drift, whilst at the same very large drops are not created, thereby having the double advantage of assuring good covering with total wash out.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de protection des végétaux
DEF

Buse à fente composée d’une pastille de calibrage, d’une chambre de détente et d’un insert percé d’un orifice en forme de fente, qui produit un jet plat dont la proportion de petites gouttes est réduite par rapport à une buse classique, à pression égale.

Record 3 2010-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

A device that facilitates the measurement of the level, or stage, of the upper surface of water in a reservoir, channel, natural water body, stilling well, or groundwater well.

CONT

A water level gauge may be as simple as a graduated staff mounted in the water that is to be measured, a float, or it may be a more complicated device that measures(1) water pressure at a point below the surface or the level of the water surface, or(2) travel time of a sound wave and its echos generated and received at a point above the water surface. A water level measurement device that both measures and records the position of the water surface is often termed a water level recorder or water stage recorder.

Key term(s)
  • water-level gage
  • water-level gauge

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de mesure
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Instrument ou autre dispositif (généralement une échelle graduée) servant à mesurer [...] le niveau d'un plan d'eau (lac, retenue, ...) ou d'un cours d'eau (rivière, canal, ...) [ou plus généralement, de mesurer le niveau d'un liquide].

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Instrumentos de medida
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Medidor que consiste en un flotador sobre la superficie del agua que se eleva y desciende con ella, y cuyo movimiento se transmite a un dispositivo indicativo o de registro.

OBS

No confundir con limnígrafo, que es el dispositivo que registra las variaciones medidas por el limnímetro.

Record 4 2005-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

Mercury barometer whose graduated scale is extended so that measurements of pressure may be made at both high and low altitudes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Baromètre à mercure dont les graduations de l'échelle sont étendues de façon à permettre les mesures à la fois aux hautes et aux basses altitudes.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Estaciones, instrumentos y equipos meteorológicos
DEF

Barómetro de mercurio con una escala ampliada que permite hacer determinaciones en altitudes altas y bajas.
