  2. Ship ballast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_ballast

    The advantage of water ballast is that the tanks can be emptied, reducing draft or the weight of the boat (e.g. for transport on ground) and water added back in (in small boats, simply by opening up the valves and letting the water flow in) after the boat is launched or cargo unloaded.

  3. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

    Mercury pressure gauge. An open (differential) mercury pressure gauge. A mercury pressure gauge is a type of manometer using mercury as the working fluid. The most basic form of this instrument is a U-shaped glass tube filled with mercury. More complex versions deal with very high pressure or have better means of filling with mercury.

  4. Ballast tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballast_tank

    Cross section of a vessel with a single ballast tank at the bottom. A ballast tank is a compartment within a boat, ship or other floating structure that holds water, which is used as ballast to provide hydrostatic stability for a vessel, to reduce or control buoyancy, as in a submarine, to correct trim or list, to provide a more even load distribution along the hull to reduce structural ...

  5. Lock (water navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(water_navigation)

    A plan and side view of a generic, empty canal lock. A lock chamber separated from the rest of the canal by an upper pair and a lower pair of mitre gates.The gates in each pair close against each other at an 18° angle to approximate an arch against the water pressure on the "upstream" side of the gates when the water level on the "downstream" side is lower.

  6. Vessel monitoring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_monitoring_system

    Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) is a general term to describe systems that are used in commercial fishing to allow environmental and fisheries regulatory organizations to track and monitor the activities of fishing vessels. They are a key part of monitoring control and surveillance (MCS) programs at national and international levels.

  7. Inch of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_water

    Inches of water is a non- SI unit for pressure. It is also given as inches of water gauge (iwg or in.w.g.), inches water column (inch wc, in. WC, " wc, etc. or just wc or WC), inAq, Aq, or inH2O. The units are conventionally used for measurement of certain pressure differentials such as small pressure differences across an orifice, or in a ...

  8. Diving chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_chamber

    Diving physiology research. A diving chamber is a vessel for human occupation, which may have an entrance that can be sealed to hold an internal pressure significantly higher than ambient pressure, a pressurised gas system to control the internal pressure, and a supply of breathing gas for the occupants. There are two main functions for diving ...

  9. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    A pitot tube (/ ˈpiːtoʊ / PEE-toh; also pitot probe) measures fluid flow velocity. It was invented by a French engineer, Henri Pitot, in the early 18th century, [1] and was modified to its modern form in the mid-19th century by a French scientist, Henry Darcy. [2] It is widely used to determine the airspeed of aircraft; [3] the water speed ...
