  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

    Bolt thrust or breech pressure is a term used in internal ballistics and firearms (whether small arms or artillery) that describes the amount of rearward force exerted by the propellant gases on the bolt or breech of a firearm action or breech when a projectile is fired.

  4. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    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%. CEP is not a good measure of accuracy when this distribution behavior is not met.

  5. 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 .

  6. 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.

  7. Tilting bolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilting_bolt

    Tilting the bolt up and down locks-unlocks in the breech. This tilting allows gas pressure in the barrel from firing the gun to lower to safe levels before the cartridge case is ejected. For handgun design, the tilting barrel as used in the Browning , is a similar operating mechanism.

  8. Girsanov theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girsanov_theorem

    The theorem is especially important in the theory of financial mathematics as it explains how to convert from the physical measure, which describes the probability that an underlying instrument (such as a share price or interest rate) will take a particular value or values, to the risk-neutral measure which is a very useful tool for evaluating ...

  9. With high probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_high_probability

    In mathematics, an event that occurs with high probability (often shortened to w.h.p. or WHP) is one whose probability depends on a certain number n and goes to 1 as n goes to infinity, i.e. the probability of the event occurring can be made as close to 1 as desired by making n big enough.
