CONT

For out-planting, the paperpot system offers two planting tools, the Potti-putki, or pot tube, and the "motor mole". The Potti-putki is a hollow planting tool with moveable jaws. The operator dibbles the jaws into the ground and after opening a cavity with the foot pedal, he drops plant and container through the tube into the ground.

CONT

Dans le cas du système Walters à cartouches, il est possible de mettre le plant en terre sans se pencher, en utilisant un fusil plantoir. C'est également possible pour le godet-papier japonais avec le «pottiputki» finlandais.

OBS

Il est possible que «pottiputki» soit une marque déposée, mais les sources consultées ne le précisent pas.

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
DEF

A temperature transducer for which the pressure of vapour in a closed system of gas and liquid is a function of temperature.

CONT

Vapour Pressure Thermometer [is] a closed system of bulb, capillary & bourdon tube fitted partially with a vapourisable liquid volume sensitive bourdon tube [that] winds - unwinds depending on temperature variations.

CONT

A vapor pressure thermometer [contains] a solvent encased in metal attached to a pressure gauge. As the temperature rises, the vapor pressure of the liquid inside rises. Since vapor pressure is independent of the length of the metal tube connected to the pressure gauge, this type of sensor is good for remote places. The bulb is located at the remote site, but the operator reads the pressure gauge at a more convenient area.

Record 8 2007-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A graphical profile that exhibits ram resistance with depth.

CONT

The ram profile is a record of a hardness index through a vertical section of the snowpack. The ram hardness(R) is measured by driving a ram penetrometer(ram or ramsonde) vertically into the snowpack. The ram is a tube or rod with a centimeter scale for depth and a standard cone-shaped tip. The operator drops a hammer(H) a certain distance(f) and records the penetration depth(p) of the ram into the snow.

CONT

The ram profile highlighted a deep weak layer. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

The ram resistance is an index of the relative hardness of snow as measured by a rammesonde.

OBS

ram profile; ramsonde profile: terms officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

DEF

Profil établi à l'aide d'un sondage de battage qui représente sous forme d'histogramme la résistance au battage (ou à la pénétration) en fonction de la profondeur.

CONT

Le profil de battage a permis de détecter une couche fragile en profondeur. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

[Un profil de battage] permet de se faire une idée de la stratification et de la dureté du manteau neigeux.

OBS

Record 9 2000-07-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metal Forming
OBS

Three-Wheel Roll Bending is a technique that uses three round-bend dies to form the tube. This style of bending is typically used for large radius bends and coils. The bend is created when the top center bend die is hydraulically lowered into the tube as the two lower left and right bend dies rotate in unison in one direction and then reverse direction when required. CNC versions of this machine allow an operator to alter the pressures during the bending cycle and thus create an elliptical shape or a bend with multiple bend radius.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Formage des métaux
CONT

Il existe également un procédé de roulage, dérivé du cintrage des tôles, qui permet d'obtenir des tubes de grand diamètre, ou viroles, en engageant la tête entre un jeu de trois cylindres à axes parfaitement parallèles; l'écartement entre le cylindre supérieur, libre, et les deux cylindres inférieurs, entraîneurs, permet de régler la courbure de la tôle.
