Pressure leaf filters consist of pressure tanks filled with slurry into which a number of filter leaves connected to drainage pipes are immersed. The leaves may be grids covered with filted cloth bags, shallow boxes of screen cloth, or porous cylindrical tubes of metal or porcelain. They may be horizontal or vertical. 1, record 1, English, - pressure%20leaf%20filter

Les illustrations que l'on trouve pour «horizontal tank pressure leaf filter» et «filtre à cadres verticaux, cuve horizontale et nettoyage manuel» dans ENSCI 1982 5-404 et TECHN J2 1543-8 nous portent à croire qu'il s’agit du même appareil. Cependant, à la lecture des textes dont nous disposons, il semble que le «leaf filter» soit un générique par rapport au «filtre à cadres». 3, record 1, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20cadres

Another way to find the datum level of an object is with the aqua-level .... A transparent plastic hose ..., the length to depend on the extent of the site and the clarity of the water, is the main tool. One diver fills it with air and the air-water interface of one end of the hose is held by a diver on the object selected to be the datum level, generally the highest object on the site. The hose ..., forms an arc, and the opposite end of it is held by another diver holding a range pole vertically over the object to be measured. The position of the air-water interface on the range pole then indicates the elevation between the two points. 1, record 2, English, - aqua%2Dlevel

Lorsque l'on désire prendre des mesures de hauteur relative très précises, il est préférable de recourir à la méthode du niveau d’air [...] En un point dominant le site pris comme base de référence est fixée l'une des extrémités d’un simple tuyau de plastique transparent de longueur suffisante pour atteindre les différents points à mesurer. Le tuyau est alors rempli d’air de sorte que son extrémité fixe présente une surface de contact air-eau [...] et son extrémité libre, plus basse, est amenée le long d’un jalon gradué disposé verticalement à l'aplomb de chaque point. Le niveau de la surface air-eau à l'intérieur du tuyau marquant l'horizontale par rapport à l'extrémité située au point de base, une simple lecture sur le jalon donne la différence de hauteur relative. 1, record 2, French, - niveau%20d%27air

Certains types de niveaux sont plus spécialement adaptés aux besoins de la topographie, en particulier le niveau à lunette, dont la lunette est surmontée d’une nivelle sensible(niveau à bulle d’air). Par des réglages préalables, on s’arrange pour que l'axe optique(axe de visée) de la lunette soit horizontal lorsque la bulle de la nivelle occupe le milieu de la fenêtre(bulle entre ses repères). Dans ces conditions, si l'on vise une mire parlante verticale disposée sur un piquet, la lecture faite sur cette mire est à l'horizontale de l'axe de l'appareil. 2, record 6, French, - niveau
