  2. Risk-based inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-based_inspection

    Risk-based inspection (RBI) is an optimal maintenance business process used to examine equipment such as pressure vessels, quick-opening closure - doors, heat exchangers, and piping in industrial plants. RBI is a decision-making methodology for optimizing inspection plans.

  3. Corrosion loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_loop

    Corrosion loop(s) are systematized analysis "loops" used during Risk-based inspection analysis. Both terms “RBI Corrosion loops” or “RBI corrosion circuits” are generic terms used to indicate the systematization of piping systems into usable and understandable parts associated with corrosion.

  4. Hemispherical resonator gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_resonator...

    The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope or mushroom gyro, is a compact, low-noise, high-performance angular rate or rotation sensor. An HRG is made using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

  5. Aircraft compass turns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_compass_turns

    The standard practice when flying with a gyro-stabilized compass (or heading indicator) is to read the magnetic compass only while in straight and level unaccelerated flight. This reading is then used to set the gyro-stabilized compass. The gyro compass will read correctly in a turn, whereas the magnetic compass can't be read properly while ...

  6. Autogyro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro

    All new types of autogyro must be submitted for full type approval under CAP643 Section T. [43] The CAA allows gyro flight over congested areas. [ 44 ] In 2005, the CAA issued a mandatory permit directive (MPD) which restricted operations for single-seat autogyros and were subsequently integrated into CAP643 Issue 3 published on 12 August 2005 ...

  7. Magni M-24 Orion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magni_M-24_Orion

    Magni Gyro currently produces five sport autogyro models, all with similar pod and low boom, pusher engine layouts and the M-24 Orion have side by side seating and an enclosed cabin. It has a steel airframe with a carbon fibre cabin and engine-enclosing pod. Transparent, top hinged doors on either side give access to the two seats, which are ...

  8. Gyroscopic stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_stabilizer

    A Gyroscopic stabilizer is a control system that reduces tilting movement of a ship or aircraft. It senses orientation using a small gyroscope, and counteracts rotation by adjusting control surfaces or by applying force to a large gyroscope.

  9. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Diagram of a gyro wheel. Reaction arrows about the output axis (blue) correspond to forces applied about the input axis (green), and vice versa. A gyroscope is an instrument, consisting of a wheel mounted into two or three gimbals providing pivoted supports, for allowing the wheel to rotate about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one ...
