DEF

The part of a compass on which the direction graduations are placed, it is usually in the form of a thin disk or annulus graduated in degrees, clockwise from 0° at the reference direction to 360°, and sometimes also in compass points.

CONT

The heading indicator(also known as the directional gyro) is an instrument designed to indicate the heading of the airplane... The gyro wheel in the heading indicator is mounted vertically and spins about its horizontal axis... The spinning gyro wheel is mounted in an inner gimbal ring that is free to turn about the horizontal axis. The inner ring is, in turn, mounted inside an outer gimbal ring. The compass rose card on the face of the instrument is attached by a series of gears to the outer gimbal ring. As the airplane turns, the compass card rotates indicating a turn to the left or right.

CONT

The dial on a compass is called a card. The compass card has 360 points, called degrees. The dial will help you to find East, West, South and all the points in between. The numbers on the dial show the number of degrees from North.

DEF

Couronne circulaire en métal ou en verre sur laquelle est portée la graduation angulaire d'un instrument de mesure.

CONT

La rose du compas doit être graduée dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre de 0° à 360° à intervalles égaux ne dépassant pas 1°. Elle doit porter une graduation chiffrée tous les degrés au moins. Les répéteurs numériques sont acceptables à condition qu'ils soient facilement lisibles et qu'ils contiennent des échelles équivalentes.

CONT

Le conservateur de cap (aussi appelé gyroscope directionnel) est un instrument qui indique la cap de l'avion [...] Le rotor du conservateur de cap est monté verticalement et tourne autour d'un axe horizontal [...] Ce rotor est fixé dans un cardan intérieur, lequel tourne librement autour de l'axe horizontal. Ce cardan est monté à l'intérieur d'un autre cardan. Le limbe (rose graduée du compas) visible sur la face de l'instrument, est attaché au cardan extérieur par un système d'engrenages. Lorsque l'avion effectue un virage, le limbe tourne, indiquant un virage à gauche ou à droite.

OBS

rose compas : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.

Record 10 1977-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Geology
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
OBS

"F. Martin's Recording balance" produced by the Prolabo Co., Paris, works on the hydrometer principle. A cylindrical container is hung from the right balance arm and is surrounded by an external sedimentation cylinder. The suspended material is poured into the cylinder, and the scales are balanced. As the particles gradually settle, the buoyancy operating in the inner cylinder becomes smaller. The force exerted on the left balance beam is therefore increased proportionally to the weight of the settling particles. The scales are automatically kept balanced during the whole sedimentation process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Géologie
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
OBS

Il s'agit de balances de sédimentation, dont il existe deux types: 1) La balance "Sartorius", qui fonctionne sur le même principe que la balance "Doeglas", mais sur une gamme granulométrique beaucoup plus fine. 2) La balance "Martin" ("Prolabo", Paris) fonctionne au contraire sur le principe de l'aéromètre. Un cylindre plongeant dans la suspension est suspendu au plateau d'une balance à chaîne. Il subit une poussée de plus en plus faible au cours de la sédimentation. L'équilibre est rétabli automatiquement par la balance à chaîne, ce mouvement de rétablissement de l'équilibre étant enregistré sur un diagramme.
