[Type] of warp tension meter. Meters for measuring tensions of the magnitude found in trawl warps may be broadly classified into two types : those [that] measure the force required to cause a known deflection of the warp as a known function of warp tension, and those [that] measure the actual tension by assuming the full load themselves.... almost all [are] mechanical or electrical strain gauge sensors and [have] stress indicators rather than stress recorders. 2, record 1, English, - warp%20tension%20meter

The neutron moisture meter consists of two main components, a probe and a gauge. The probe contains a source of fast neutrons, and the gauge monitors the flux of slow neutrons scattered by the soil. In using the neutron meter, a cased hole in the ground is necessary for lowering the probe to obtain readings. 2, record 5, English, - neutron%20probe

Les humidimètres neutroniques (ou sondes à neutrons) mesurent l'humidité volumique du sol en utilisant la propriété qu'ont les neutrons rapides à être ralentis préférentiellement par les atomes d'hydrogène, qui dans le sol sont majoritairement inclus dans les molécules d'eau. [...] La mesure consiste donc à compter pendant un temps déterminé (de l'ordre de la minute) le nombre de neutrons lents qui reviennent vers la sonde.

In the pressure type air gauge, air passes through a filter and regulator and is then divided into two channels. The air in the reference channel escapes to atmosphere through a zero setting valve. The air in the measuring channel escapes to atmosphere through the gauge head jets. The two channels are connected by an extremely accurate differential pressure meter. The master is placed over the gauging spindle and the zero setting valve is adjusted until the gauge needle indicates zero. Any deviation in the workpiece size from the master size changes the reading. 2, record 10, English, - pressure%20type%20air%20gauge
