MAIN HATCH [5 records]

Record 1 2023-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

[The fisheries research service] agreed that the correct positioning of [a square mesh netting panel] was critical and concluded that the ideal location with a view to reduce the risk of twisting was in the top sheet at the end of the tapered netting section.... Furthermore[, ] if positioned at the end of the tapered section, the length and cutting rate of the main trawl body might have to be adjusted to allow for a shorter extension/codend length... This was to ensure enough netting to enable the codend to be hauled to the bag hatch, usually positioned on a vessel' s starboard side.

CONT

In 1887, [the United States] Congress passed the Hatch Act, which formally established and provided a funding mechanism for agricultural experiment stations in each state and territory in the United States. The main purpose of agricultural experiment stations is to conduct agricultural research to meet the needs of the citizens of the United States.

Record 4 2001-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Each of the two berthing ports on Destiny contains a hatch. The aft hatch(hatch to Unity) will be opened and will remain open(unless a situation arises requiring a module to be isolated). The forward hatch will be used as the main access to the Orbiter on future missions until Node 2 arrives. Each hatch has a window. The hatches can be opened or closed from either side. [They] have a pressure interlock feature, which prevents the hatch from being opened if there is a negative pressure across the hatch(higher pressure on the outside of the hatch).

OBS

hatch: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
CONT

[Aux extrémités du] module américain Destiny se trouvent les écoutilles métalliques. En temps normal, l'écoutille entre le module Unity et Destiny reste ouverte. Elle n'est fermée qu'en cas de nécessité, si on veut isoler Destiny du reste de la Station. L'autre écoutille donne sur le PMA2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 - port d'arrimage pressurisé). Elle constituera le sas principal pour les prochaines visites de navettes spatiales, jusqu'à l'arrivée du Node-2, module de jonction du même type que le module Unity. Chaque écoutille a un hublot, et peut être fermée ou ouverte des deux côtés. [Pour éviter les risques de dépressurisation accidentelle], un dispositif de sécurité en bloque l'ouverture [lorsqu'il y a] une différence de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur.

OBS

écoutille : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
