Record 6 2016-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
DEF

The circulation of drilling fluid in a normal manner(i. e., the fluid is pumped into and down the drill stem, exits at the bit, and returns to the surface through the annular space between the pipe and the hole.

CONT

Normal circulation is downward through the drill stem and back to the surface through the annulus.

OBS

Commonly, the flushing medium is passed down the drilling rods or pipe, from which it escapes through holes in the bit, returning to the surface between the rods and the rod wall - the annulus.

OBS

As opposed to "reverse circulation."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Sondage et forage miniers
DEF

Trajet en circuit fermé emprunté par la boue de forage qui descend à l'intérieur des tiges puis remonte dans l'espace annulaire jusqu'à la surface.

CONT

La circulation de la boue ou du fluide la remplaçant peut se faire de plusieurs manières : «Circulation directe». Normalement, une pompe injecte la boue par l'intermédiaire du touret dans les tiges actionnant l'outil. Au droit de celui-ci, la boue change son sens de circulation et remonte dans l'espace annulaire formé par les tiges et les parois du forage, en entraînant les débris de la perforation. Puis, à la surface du sol, elle est amenée par une rigole dans les bassins de décantation où elle est de nouveau aspirée par les pompes. Le débit de celles-ci doit assurer au courant remontant une vitesse suffisante pour que les détritus entraînés arrivent jusqu'à la surface.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rheology
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Strength of Materials
CONT

Repeated loading of metal to stresses lower than the ultimate strength is called fatigue loading and the fracture which results is a fatigue failure.

CONT

Fatigue failures occur because of localized hardening and embrittling of the metal specimen which results from the repeated plastic deformation caused by the applied load.

CONT

Several joints of [heavyweight drill] pipe may be placed... in the drill stem between the drill collars and regular drill pipe to provide a gradual change in stiffness and thus reduce the chances of drill-pipe fatigue failure in this portion of the drill stem.

Key term(s)
  • fatigue-related failure
  • fatigue related failure

French

Domaine(s)
  • Rhéologie
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Résistance des matériaux
CONT

Lorsqu'un métal est soumis à une contrainte qui varie périodiquement avec le temps (contrainte cyclique), la rupture peut se produire pour des valeurs de la contrainte maximale bien inférieures à la charge de rupture et même à la limite élastique du matériau. C'est la rupture par fatigue.

Key term(s)
  • rupture due à la fatigue
  • défaillance causée par la fatigue

CONT

La nouvelle pince collectrice permet au conducteur de couper et de garder un certain nombre d'arbres avant de les empiler.

OBS

Le terme accumulateur, en langue technique, sert à désigner divers appareils qui emmagasinent de l'énergie pour la restituer à mesure des besoins (Grand Larousse Encyclopédique). De ce fait, on lui a préféré pince collectrice, puisqu'il ne s'agit dans le cas présent, ni d'énergie emmagasinée, ni d'un dispositif destiné à restituer l'énergie à mesure des besoins.

CONT

Even the smallest rabbittry benefits from an automatic or semi-automatic system. The simplest watering system is semi-automatic. You fill a holding tank(perhaps just a large bucket) elevated above the hutches, and the water flows down through pipes alongside the cages. Valves are inserted into the pipe at each cage. The rabbits bite on the valves to release the water. There are two types of valves. The "dewdrop" valve has a metal stem in it which is dislodged when bit or licked. This allows the water to trickle through. After a rabbit has stopped drinking, the stem drops back into the valve opening and is held in place by the water pressure.
