Record 1 2017-07-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
DEF

An instrument for measuring fluid pressure.

CONT

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).

CONT

Pressure gauge. This may measure pressure directly or more commonly, indirectly, according to the pressure of the air entering the engine through the inlet pipe.

OBS

pressure indicator: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

OBS

pressure gauge; manometer; pressure gage: terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

Key term(s)
  • direct pressure-gage

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
DEF

Instrument de mesure et de contrôle de la pression d'un fluide, liquide ou gazeux.

CONT

Les manomètres donnent généralement la différence entre la pression atmosphérique et la pression à mesurer.

CONT

[...] parmi les manomètres classiques figurent également des manomètres à mercure ou à eau [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
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.

Key term(s)
  • test pressure gage
  • test gage

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
DEF

Dispositif de mesure utilisé pour vérifier la pression des différents éléments d'un circuit hydraulique.

OBS

manomètre : Instrument de mesure et de contrôle de la pression d'un fluide, liquide ou gazeux.

OBS

manomètre d'essai : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 4 2005-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
OBS

The properties of fluid films depend on the nature of the film phase and that of each of the two neighbouring bulk phases. These films should be described, where appropriate, by three capital letters such as A for air, W for water, O for oil, and S for solid, separated by solidi, the middle letter indicating the film phase. For symmetrical films the first and last symbols are the same, e. g. A/W/A : water film in air, or W/O/W : oil film in water...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Film séparant deux phases identiques.

OBS

Les propriétés des films fluides dépendent de la nature de la phase du film ainsi que de celles de la masse de chacune des deux phases voisines. Lorsque c'est nécessaire, on devrait désigner ces films par trois lettres majuscules, par exemple A pour air, E (ou W) pour eau, H (ou O) pour huile et S pour solide, séparées par des traits; la lettre du milieu indique la nature de la phase du film. Pour des films symétriques, les première et dernière lettres sont les mêmes, comme A/E/A qui représente un film d'eau dans l'air ou E/H/E qui représente un film d'huile dans l'eau [...]
