English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)

DEF

A measuring device used to check hydraulic pressure in different components of a hydraulic system.

CONT

3D Test pressure gauge series gives you a choice of two different degrees of accuracy to match your application. All 3D test pressure gauge accuracy figures are real : they include all friction, error, hysteresis, and linearity variations.... Every dial is clearly marked for fast, accurate reading with calibrations covering a 270° arc. Parallax is corrected on the test pressure gauge by a neutral glare-free face and a corrosion resistant stainless steel dial, incorporating a polished mirror band.

OBS

pressure gage: An instrument for measuring fluid pressure. A pressure gauge usually registers the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure of the fluid being measured by indicating the effect of such pressures on a measuring element (as a column of liquid, a bourdon tube, a diaphragm, or other pressure-sensitive device).

OBS

test gauge: this term should be used in non ambiguous contexts only.

CONT

Snowpack tests on north-facing terrain show easy results. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

Shovel Test... is used to locate sliding layers within the snowpack and to gauge the effort required to produce failure.... Interpretation of Results.... Easy. Fails with minimum pressure. Snow unstable. Natural avalanche releases likely; skier released avalanches a probability. Keep off steep slopes.

OBS

Compression test. ... Place a shovel blade on top of the column. Tap with finger tips, about 10 times, moving your hand from the wrist and rate any failure as "easy". Tap from the elbow, about 10 times, and rate any failure as "moderate". Finally, hit the shovel blade with an open hand or fist, about 10 times, and rate any failure as "hard."

OBS

Result taken from the stability test results tables (shovel shear test and compression test).

OBS

easy result: term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

French

  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
CONT

On obtient des ruptures faciles dans les versants nord lors des tests de stabilité du manteau neigeux. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

Résultat obtenu lors de tests de stabilité (tableau sur les étapes de surcharge pour les tests de compression et les tests de cisaillement à la pelle).

CONT

In addition to measuring force and moment data with a six component strain gauge balance, each test article was instrumented with surface pressure ports on their fore and aft sections. Simultaneous force and moment and surface pressure measurements were made during the testing. This allowed for analysis of the aerodynamic flow field and the resulting total forces and moments on the test article...

CONT

There are three ways to tell whether gaffs are sharpened properly. Step 1 : Three ways to maintain climbers : 1. 1. Gauging. This method checks the gaff's length, width, and thickness and the profile of its point.... 1. 2. Plane test. This method may be used with the gauge or independently if the gaffs are sharpened by machine. The test is made by using a soft board to tell whether proper sharpness has been reached. Place the climber with the gaff side down and parallel to the board without applying downward pressure above the gaff. Push the climber along the board. If the gaff is properly contoured and sharpened, it will dig into the wood and hold within approximately one inch. If the climber continues to glide along the board for more than one inch, it needs more honing. 1. 3. Pole cutout. After the climbers have been machine sharpened or gauged(and as often as required thereafter), the gaffs may be tested on a pole.

DEF

Index of the shearing resistance of soil obtained with the cone penetrometer: a number representing resistance to penetration into the soil of a 30° cone with a 1/2-in. base (actually, a load in pounds on a cone base area in square inches.

CONT

A cone penetrometer consists of a proving ring attached by rod to a steel cone. Test is performed by pushing the assembly into the ground and recording the dial gauge reading. The reading is then converted into a pressure called the cone index. Cone indices can be correlated to California bearing ratio test results.
