[...] l'évaporomètre Piche [...] est constitué par un tube cylindrique en verre de 25 cm de long et 1.5 cm de diamètre. Ce tube gradué est fermé à sa partie supérieure, tandis que son ouverture inférieure est obturée par une feuille circulaire de papier filtre normalisé de 30 mm de diamètre, maintenue par un ressort. L'appareil ayant été rempli d'eau distillée, celle-ci est évaporée progressivement par la feuille de papier filtre; la diminution du niveau de l'eau dans le tube permet de calculer le taux d'évaporation (en mm par 24 heures par exemple), le processus d'évaporation est ici lié essentiellement au déficit hygrométrique de l'air, et l'appareil ne prend peut être pas assez en compte l'influence de l'insolation. Cet appareil installé sous abri est utilisé en France dans de nombreuses stations de la Météorologie Nationale. 4, record 4, French, - %C3%A9vaporom%C3%A8tre%20Piche

A graduated cylinder (also called measuring cylinder or graduated glass) is a piece of laboratory glassware or plasticware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks. Often, the largest graduated cylinders are made of polypropylene for its excellent chemical resistance or polymethylpentane for its clarity, making them lighter to ship and less fragile than glass. Polypropylene cylinders have excellent chemical resistance and do not shatter when dropped, a valuable safety feature for all laboratories. 2, record 5, English, - graduate

A borehole-surveying device consisting of a gimbal-mounted open frame, rigidly enclosing a graduated circle inside of which is a gimbal-mounted compass. This assemblage, inserted in a glass tube filled with a melted gelatin mixture is placed inside a tightly sealed brass tube or clinometer. When the tube is lowered into, and suspended at a point in a borehole for a sufficient length of time to allow the gelatin to set or jell, the position of the gimbal parts becomes fixed in the solidified gelatin, thereby providing a means whereby the compass course and inclination of the borehole at a specific point may be determined. 1, record 13, English, - Carlson%20compass

La Carlson Compass (...) est d'un principe analogue [à celui du Tro-Pari], mais la boussole est immergée dans un liquide à base de gélatine qui se gélifie au bout d'un temps donné. Les températures élevées empêchent le fonctionnement normal de cet appareil. Pour éviter la perturbation du champ magnétique provoquée par l'acier des tiges, ces instruments sont en bronze et sont fixés à des tiges de cuivre ou d'aluminium d'une dizaine de mètres de longueur. 1, record 13, French, - Carlson%20compass

The "Index-grain apparatus"(...) is a sedimentation device in which the free fall of grains is slowed by three nozzle-like constrictions which cause turbulence that results in better grading of the grains. In order to distinguish between the single grain fractions which settle in a graduated, conical, water-filled sedimentation vessel, a colored index set of three known grain fractions is added to the sediment before separation : 1 cmthree black grains in the grade 0. 02-0. 035 mm 1 cmthree red grains in the grade 0. 063-0. 11 mm 1 cmthree black grains in the grade 0. 2-0. 35 mm(...) The suspension with the added index set is poured into the filling tube, which is closed from below with a float stopper. The stopper is opened by squeezing a rubber bulb on the filling tube, and the suspension can immediately enter the lower sedimentation tube. The filling tube has a constriction that generates turbulence. The grains therefore enter the sedimentation tube pregraded. By multiplying the percentage volumes of the individual grades(minus the added colored index grains of each grade) by the average bulk density [(gamma]=1. 56), the weight-percentages of the individual grades are calculated on the basis of 100% dry material. 1, record 19, English, - Index%2Dgrain%20apparatus

Cet appareil, d'un type très spécial, a été conçu par un ingénieur allemand, "M. Spoerel". Sept centimètres cubes du sable à étudier sont mélangés à une poudre de grains de quartz colorés comprenant: 1 cm [cube] de grains noirs de 0,5-0,2 mm; 1 cm [cube] de grains rouges de 0,1-0,055 mm; 1 cm [cube] de grains noirs de 0,045-0,020mm. L'ensemble est mis en sédimentation dans un tube présentant des étranglements; le matériel, classé par tailles, se rassemble dans un tube gradué, oû l'on peut faire aisément la lecture des pourcentages grâce aux grains colorés (en retirant naturellement les 3 cm [cube] de sable comparateur introduit).

The flooding type infiltrometers normally consist of tubes or concentric rings which are driven into the ground to depths of 15-21 in. These tubes are usually about 9 in. in diameter and 18-24 in. in length. Water is applied to the tube from graduated burettes and maintained at a constant head(...) over the soil surface. Readings of the water level in the burettes taken at successive time intervals permit direct determination of infiltration volumes and rates. 1, record 20, English, - flooding%20type%20infiltrometer
