The Dines Pressure Tube Anemometer is universally recognised as the most reliable and accurate instrument of its kind and has been adopted as standard by the British Meteorological Office and by meteorological stations world-wide. Dines Pressure Tube Anemometer consists essentially of a Head Assembly, a Velocity Recorder and a Direction Recorder, the IM100 records wind speed and wind direction simultaneously on a single chart. An important feature of the Dines, is that it records not only average wind velocity over a given time, but also variations in wind force, with the strength and frequency of gusts, providing valuable data on the internal structure of the wind. 2, record 1, English, - Dines%20anemometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The suction head is mounted concentrically with the shaft, near the bearing that supports the vane, and develops a suction that is independent of wind direction. The pressure difference between the suction head and the pressure head is proportional to the square root of the wind speed and is measured by a specially designed float manometer with a linear wind scale. 3, record 1, English, - Dines%20anemometer

The Dines anemometer was first described by William Henry Dines in 1892 and had all the essentials of the final form of the pressure-tube anemometer. With various modifications, the Dines anemometer remained a useful wind measuring device into the 1960s. 3, record 1, English, - Dines%20anemometer

A reciprocating screw machine is shown in Figure 12-18. As the screw rotates, melted plastic is pushed forward to the end of the extruder barrel, and the pressure pushes the screw in the opposite direction. When the necessary amount of melt has collected, a hydraulic cylinder moves the screw forward, forcing plastic out of the die head to form the parison(s). 1, record 2, English, - reciprocating%20screw%20blow%20molder

The design of the hollow fiber membrane module uses the fibers in a half loop with the free ends potted in epoxy resin. The loop end is contained in a pressure vessel. Feed solution is introduced around the outside of the hollow fiber. Filtrate passes through the fiber walls and flows up the bore to the open end of the fiber at the epoxy head. Brine is discharged from the opposite end of the pressure vessel. 1, record 3, English, - hollow%20fiber%20membrane%20module
