One consequence of cabin pressurization is that the pressure inside the airplane might be 70 kPa(10 psi), while the pressure outside is only 15 kPa(2 psi). An otherwise-harmless pinhole under these pressure differences will generate a high-pitched squeal as the air leaks out at supersonic speeds. A hole a metre and a half(5 feet) across will depressurize a jetliner in a fraction of a second. 3, record 1, English, - depressurize
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cabin pressurization is the active pumping of air into an aircraft cabin to increase the air pressure within the cabin. It is required when an aircraft reaches high altitudes, because the natural atmospheric pressure is too low to allow people to absorb sufficient oxygen, leading to altitude sickness and ultimately hypoxia. 3, record 1, English, - depressurize

In the summer of 1994 NASA approved adding an optical-quality nadir-viewing window to the U. S. Laboratory Module of the International Space Station. The window can view 39. 5 degrees forward along the axis of the ISS, 32. 2 degrees aft, and a total of 79. 1 degrees from port to starboard. The window is constructed of three panes of fused silica and a fourth protective kick pane made of glass laminate. From outboard to inboard, the panes are : OUTBOARD-An external debris pane that can be changed by an EVA astronaut if damaged. A redundant pressure pane. A primary pressure pane. A scratch or "kick" pane that protects the primary pressure pane from being damaged if the crew or equipment make contact with the window [and] provides a UV-IR coating to protect the crew members. INBOARD-The kick pane is removed during window research operations to take advantage of the full spectrum of radiation that passes through the fused silica panes. When not in use, the window is protected by the kick pane on the inside, and by an external cover on the outside. The external cover can be rotated in or out of position from within the cabin by an astronaut using a hand crank. 2, record 3, English, - external%20debris%20pane

The innermost pane is a "scratch" pane a little less than a 12. 7 cm(half-inch thick). Its primary purpose is to prevent condensation from forming on the pressure panes. The scratch pane has a special anti-scratch coating that stands up to accidental nicks or bumps from any camera lenses that might be mounted to observe Earth. When not in use, the window is protected by the kick pane on the inside, and by an external cover on the outside. The external cover can be rotated in or out of position from within the cabin by an astronaut using a hand crank. 3, record 4, English, - scratch%20pane

Internally, the reservoir is equipped with a piston and diaphragm assembly which utilizes system pressure from the small pressure-line port to maintain a pressure head on the supply fluid.... As fluid enters the reservoir, the diaphragm is forced upward inside the reservoir shell, thus carrying the diaphragm guide and barrel upward.... as the diaphragm guide raises and lowers, the linkage will be moved, and this will provide the signal which is sent electrically to the fluid-quantity indicator in the cabin. 2, record 5, English, - diaphragm%20guide
