Record 1 2020-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Shipbuilding
DEF

In naval architecture, a measure of a hull’s fineness.

CONT

The higher the block coefficient, the fuller is the hull form (e.g. oil tankers, bulk carriers). Finer hull-forms have lower block coefficients (e.g. container ships, warships).

OBS

It compares the boat's actual displaced volume with that of a rectangular block of the same length, breadth, and mean depth as the immersed hull.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions navales
CONT

Le coefficient de bloc est un des coefficients utilisés en architecture navale pour concevoir et comparer la coque d'un navire. Il est égal au rapport du volume de la partie immergée au volume du parallélépipède rectangle la contenant entièrement.

OBS

coefficient de finesse; coefficient de remplissage : désignations uniformisées par le Comité de normalisation de la terminologie navale.

OBS

swelling: term standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • blowing

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Accroissement en volume d'une éprouvette ou d'un objet immergé dans un liquide ou exposé à une vapeur.

OBS

Record 4 2011-05-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Forestry Operations
  • Measuring Instruments
DEF

An apparatus for determining the volume of pieces of wood by measuring the amount of liquid(generally water) they displace when immersed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation forestière
  • Appareils de mesure
DEF

Appareil permettant de déterminer le volume de pièces de bois en mesurant la quantité de liquide (généralement de l'eau) déplacée en immersion.

Record 5 2007-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Respiratory System
CONT

A bell spirometer consists of a double-walled cylinder in which an inverted bell filled with oxygen-enriched air is immersed in water to form a seal... A pulley attaches the bell to a recording pen that writes on a drum rotating at a constant speed. During inspiration, air is removed from the bell and the pen rises, recording an inspired volume. As expired air enters the bell, the pen falls and an expired volume is recorded. The resultant record of volume change vs. time is called a spirogram.

CONT

In general, volumetric and flow-type spirometers each have advantages and disadvantages. In a volumetric spirometer, the subject’s expired air may: (1) cause a collection bell to rise in a water jacket (water-sealed spirometer) ...

Key term(s)
  • water sealed spirometer
  • water seal spirometer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et appareillages médicaux
  • Appareil respiratoire

Record 6 2002-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refractory Materials (Metallurgy)
CONT

The feed mechanism is connected to a melt-level controller consisting of a differential-pressure transducer and a ceramic tube immersed in the melt. The controller varies the raw-material feed rate and the pressure of the controlled atmosphere to maintain constant hydrostatic pressure, thereby assuring that an equal volume of liquid is issued to each microballoon.
