  2. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    The phrase speeds and feeds or feeds and speeds refers to two separate velocities in machine tool practice, cutting speed and feed rate. They are often considered as a pair because of their combined effect on the cutting process. Each, however, can also be considered and analyzed in its own right.

  3. Surface feet per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_feet_per_minute

    SFM is a combination of diameter and the velocity (RPM) of the material measured in feet-per-minute as the spindle of a milling machine or lathe. 1 SFM equals 0.00508 surface meter per second (meter per second, or m/s, is the SI unit of speed). The faster the spindle turns, and/or the larger the diameter, the higher the SFM.

  4. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

    Transmission rates are defined by rate of the bitstream of the digital signal and are designated by hyphenation of the acronym OC and an integer value of the multiple of the basic unit of rate, e.g., OC-48. The base unit is 51.84 Mbit/s. [2] Thus, the speed of optical-carrier-classified lines labeled as OC-n is n × 51.84 Mbit/s.

  5. Beaufort scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

    Beaufort scale. A ship in a force 12 (" hurricane -force") storm at sea, the highest rated on the Beaufort scale. The Beaufort scale / ˈboʊfərt / is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.

  6. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    Rate of climb. In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed, that is the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time. [1] In most ICAO member countries, even in otherwise metric countries, this is usually expressed in feet per minute (ft/min); elsewhere, it is commonly expressed in metres per ...

  7. Comparison of wireless data standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wireless...

    Typical 2G standards include GSM and IS-95 with extensions via GPRS, EDGE and 1xRTT, providing Internet access to users of originally voice centric 2G networks. Both EDGE and 1xRTT are 3G standards, as defined by the ITU, but are usually marketed as 2.9G due to their comparatively low speeds and high delays when compared to true 3G technologies.

  8. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    The propeller advance ratio or coefficient is a dimensionless number used in aeronautics and marine hydrodynamics to describe the relationship between the speed at which a vehicle (like an airplane or a boat) is moving forward and the speed at which its propeller is turning. It helps in understanding the efficiency of the propeller at different ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Speeds_and_feeds

    n = rev/min - RPM. N or Z = number of teeth of flutes. D = tool diameter. F z or F t = Feed per tooth. V c = m/min (cutting speed - tip of tooth speed) All the manufactures use the same variable names. Insert cutters will at the very least have F z and V c corresponding to feeds and speeds..
