  2. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  3. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    The load cell is completely filled with oil. When the load is applied on the piston, the movement of the piston and the diaphragm results in an increase of oil pressure. This pressure is then transmitted to a hydraulic pressure gauge via a high pressure hose. [4] The gauge's Bourdon tube senses the

  4. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Hydraulic pressure switches have various uses in automobiles, for example, to warn if the engine's oil pressure falls below a safe level, or to control automatic transmission torque converter lock-up. Prior to the 1960s, a pressure switch was used in the hydraulic braking circuit to control power to the brake lights; more recent automobiles use ...

  5. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Indications of low oil pressure may be that the warning light is on, a low pressure reading on the gauge, or clattering/clinking noises from the engine. Low oil pressure is a problem that must be addressed immediately to prevent serious damage. The leading cause of low oil pressure in an engine is wear on the engine's vital parts.

  6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Example of the widely used Bourdon pressure gauge Checking tire pressure with a spring and piston tire-pressure gauge. Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area.

  7. Automatic transmission fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid

    A sealed transmission will typically have a longer transmission fluid life than a non-sealed transmission. The Transmission Vent. Transmissions need vents to compensate for internal air pressure changes that occur with fluctuating fluid temperatures and fluctuating fluid levels during transmission operation.

    Rhubarb is a vegetable high in fiber. "[Rhubarb is] rich in fiber, so it really helps with digestion. [It] has a pretty good source of fiber per serving," Wright told Fox News Digital.

  9. Gear oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil

    For example, most modern gearboxes require a GL-4 oil, and separate differentials (where fitted) require a GL-5 oil. While they take the same form, the viscosity grades for gear oils are on a different scale than the viscosity grades for an engine oil. The viscometrics for gear oils are standardized in SAE J306.
