The cable ends are equipped with terminal couplings designed for quick detachment during replacement and are able to be rapidly detached and replaced (in about 2–3 minutes on aircraft carriers). [6] On U.S. carriers, the arresting cables are removed and replaced after each 125 arrested landings. [7]
A safety wire is used to ensure proper security for a fastener. The wire needed is long enough to reach from a fixed location to a hole in the removable fastener, such as a pin — a clevis fastener, sometimes a linchpin or hitch-pin through a clevis yoke for instance — and the wire pulled back upon itself, parallel to its other end, then twisted, a single end inserted through a fastener ...
Any two successive gauges (e.g., A and B) have diameters whose ratio (dia. B ÷ dia. A) is (approximately 1.12293), while for gauges two steps apart (e.g., A, B, and C), the ratio of the C to A is about 1.12293 2 ≈ 1.26098. Similarly for gauges n steps apart the ratio of the first to last gauges is about 1.12293 n.
Several lines were initially built as standard gauge but were later converted to another gauge for cost or for compatibility reasons. [citation needed] South Africa became 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) Thailand became 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) Indonesia became 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) Ireland became 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) – Dublin and Kingstown Railway
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).
The gauge was known as "Texas gauge" while required by Texas law until 1875, [4] and used by the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad (NOO&GW) until 1872, and by the Texas and New Orleans Railroad until 1876. The New England railways were similarly standard-gauged in the 1870s.
PBU – pressure build-up (applies to integrity testing on valves [citation needed]) PCA – production concession agreement; PCB – polychlorinated biphenyl; PCCC – pressure containing anti‐corrosion caps; PCCL – perforation casing collar locator log; PCDC – pressure-cased directional (geometry i.e. borehole survey) MWD tool
An unmounted resistive foil strain gauge. A strain gauge takes advantage of the physical property of electrical conductance and its dependence on the conductor's geometry. . When an electrical conductor is stretched within the limits of its elasticity such that it does not break or permanently deform, it will become narrower and longer, which increases its electrical resistance end-to-
