  2. Gauge (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(firearms)

    Therefore with a 12-gauge, it would take 12 balls of lead of the same size as the 12 gauge shotgun's inner bore diameter to weigh 1 pound (454 grams). [1] The term is related to the measurement of cannons , which were also measured by the weight of their iron round shot ; an eight-pounder would fire an 8 lb (3.6 kg) ball.

  3. Bore (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_(engine)

    The bore pitch is always larger than the inside diameter of the cylinder (the bore and piston diameter) since it includes the thickness of both cylinder walls and any water passage separating them. This is one of the first dimensions required when developing a new engine, since it limits maximum cylinder size (and therefore, indirectly, maximum ...

  4. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_gauge

    If you want to measure the diameter set the gauges required diameter with master. [clarify] In order to measure the diameter of the bore, place the beam at one end and slide the other end on the diameter and watch the dial indicator. The values initially increases and at one point starts decreasing; stop that point, it is called max point on ...

  5. Engine displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement

    Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed ) an engine might be capable of producing ...

  6. Stroke ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_ratio

    An engine is described as undersquare or long-stroke if its cylinders have a smaller bore (width, diameter) than its stroke (length of piston travel) - giving a ratio value of less than 1:1. At a given engine speed, a longer stroke increases engine friction and increases stress on the crankshaft due to the higher peak piston acceleration.

  7. Tax horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower

    = the number of cylinders, = the diameter (or bore) of the cylinder in cm, = the piston stroke in cm [24] or 1.6/π = 0.51 times engine displacement in cc The limits between the horsepower denominations were drawn at either 0.49, 0.50, or 0.51 in different cantons.

  8. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    The module is the measure of gear tooth size which is normally used for metric system gears. It is similar to the Diametral Pitch (DP), which is commonly used for UK system (inch measure) gears but they differ in the units used and in that they bear a reciprocal relationship. Module is the pitch circle diameter divided by the number of teeth.

  9. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    The throat in a revolver is composed of two separate parts, the cylinder throat and the barrel throat. part of the cylinder and sized so that it is concentric to the chamber and very slightly over the bullet diameter. The cylinder gap - the space between the cylinder and barrel - must be wide enough to allow free rotation of the cylinder even ...
