  2. Small arms ammunition pressure testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_arms_ammunition...

    The defined distance for a particular chambering is published in the TDCC data sheet of the chambering. In a rifle cartridge case like the .308 Winchester, the TDCC M = 25.00 value denotes the transducer must be positioned at a distance of 25 millimetres (0.98 in) from the breech face. [2]

  3. Bolt thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust

    A complicating matter regarding bolt thrust is that a cartridge case expands and deforms under high pressure and starts to "stick" to the chamber. This "friction-effect" can be accounted for with finite elements calculations on a computer, but it is a lot of specialized work and generally not worth the trouble. [2]

  4. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    That is, if CEP is n metres, 50% of shots land within n metres of the mean impact, 43.7% between n and 2n, and 6.1% between 2n and 3n metres, and the proportion of shots that land farther than three times the CEP from the mean is only 0.2%.

  5. Buttress thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttress_thread

    In oil field tubing, buttress thread is a pipe thread form designed to provide a tight hydraulic seal. The thread form is similar to that of Acme thread [10] but there are two distinct threaded portions of differing diameters and profiles, the larger having a wedging profile, with a tapered sealing portion in between the larger and smaller diameters.

  6. Drilling formula sheets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_formula_sheets

    Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control .

  7. Trapdoor mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_mechanism

    Springfield Model 1866, trapdoor breech closed. In 1872–1873 a military board, headed by Brigadier-General Alfred H. Terry, conducted an examination and trial of 99 rifles from several domestic and foreign manufacturers, including those from Springfield, Sharps, Peabody, Whitney, Spencer, Remington, and Winchester pursuant to the selection of a breech-loading system for rifles and carbines ...

  8. Strain hardening exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_hardening_exponent

    Most metals have an -value between 0.10 and 0.50. In one study, strain hardening exponent values extracted from tensile data from 58 steel pipes from natural gas pipelines were found to range from 0.08 to 0.25, [ 1 ] with the lower end of the range dominated by high-strength low alloy steels and the upper end of the range mostly normalized steels.

  9. Rice's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice's_formula

    In probability theory, Rice's formula counts the average number of times an ergodic stationary process X(t) per unit time crosses a fixed level u. [1] Adler and Taylor describe the result as "one of the most important results in the applications of smooth stochastic processes." [2] The formula is often used in engineering. [3]
