    1.5 psi Pressure increase per meter of a water column [26] 10 kPa 1.5 psi Decrease in air pressure when going from Earth sea level to 1000 m elevation [citation needed] +13 kPa +1.9 psi High air pressure for human lung, measured for trumpet player making staccato high notes [48] < +16 kPa +2.3 psi

  3. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pump

    A gasoline pump or fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other types of liquid fuel into vehicles. Gasoline pumps are also known as bowsers or petrol bowsers (in Australia and South Africa), [2] [3] petrol pumps (in Commonwealth countries), or gas pumps (in North America).

  4. Air suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

    Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. Unlike hydropneumatic suspension, which offers many similar features, air suspension does not use pressurized liquid, but pressurized ...

  5. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    In piston engines, static compression ratio is determined using the cylinder volume when the piston is at the top and bottom of its travel. The compression ratio is the ratio between the maximum and minimum volume during the compression stage of the power cycle in a piston or Wankel engine.

  6. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2). ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi. [4] The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa ...

  7. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. The air pressure inflates the bellows, and raises the chassis from the axle. Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) is the air suspension system installed on the second version of the Range Rover. Five suspension heights are offered by this system.

  8. Arnott Air Suspension Products - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnott_Air_Suspension_Products

    Arnott Air Suspension Products was founded in 1989 in Punta Gorda, Florida by Donald Arnott after his son, Adam, remanufactured an air spring for his father's car in the family garage. The part not only worked well but the father and son team soon found, it also filled a growing need for affordable replacement air suspension products.

  9. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

    Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...
