  2. Aircraft tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_tire

    An aircraft tire or tyre is designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short durations. [1] The number of tires required for aircraft increases with the weight of the aircraft, as the weight of the airplane needs to be distributed more evenly. Aircraft tire tread patterns are designed to facilitate stability in high crosswind conditions ...

  3. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_tire

    Bicycle tire. A clincher bicycle tire mounted on a wheel. A cross section of a clincher tire with a puncture-preventing layer (in blue) between the casing and the tread. An inner tube rolled up for storage or to be carried as a spare. A bicycle tire is a tire that fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.

  4. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

    A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

  6. Inflatable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflatable

    Inflatable. Balloons are the most common type of inflatable. An inflatable[1] is an object that can be inflated with a gas, usually with air, but hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen are also used. One of several advantages of an inflatable is that it can be stored in a small space when not inflated, since inflatables depend on the presence of a gas ...

  7. Tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

    Tractor tires have substantial ribs and voids for traction in soft terrain. A tire (British spelling: tyre) is a ring-shaped component that surrounds a wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through the wheel to the ground and to provide traction on the surface over which the wheel travels.

  8. Nitrogen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_generator

    Analytical chemistry: Nitrogen generators are required for various forms of analytical chemistry such as liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography where a stable and continuous supply of nitrogen is necessary. Aircraft & motor vehicle tires: Although air is 78% nitrogen, most aircraft tires are filled with pure nitrogen.

  9. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    For pneumatic tires, the direction of change in Crr (rolling resistance coefficient) depends on whether or not tire inflation is increased with increasing load. [52] It is reported that, if inflation pressure is increased with load according to an (undefined) "schedule", then a 20% increase in load decreases Crr by 3%.
