  2. List of vacuum tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vacuum_tubes

    This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.

  4. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

    For larger mechanical tubing, however, the gauge number indicates the wall thickness, independent of the tube's overall size. In medicine , the Birmingham gauge is widely used to specify the outer diameter of hypodermic needles , catheters , cannulae , and suture wires.

  5. Vacuum tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube

    Later thermionic vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style, some with top cap connections for higher voltages. A vacuum tube, electron tube, [1] [2] [3] valve (British usage), or tube (North America) [4] is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.

  6. Comparison of CRT, LCD, plasma, and OLED displays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CRT,_LCD...

    Extremely bulky and heavy construction in comparison to other display technologies. Large displays would be unsuitable for wall mounting. New models are no longer produced. The LCD grid can mask effects of spatial and grayscale quantization, creating the illusion of higher image quality. [52]

  7. Fluorescent-lamp formats - Wikipedia

    Many more tube ratings exist, often country-specific. The Nominal Length may not exactly match any measured dimension of the tube. For some tube sizes, the nominal length (in feet) is the required spacing between centers of the lighting fixtures to create a continuous run, so the tubes are a little shorter than the nominal length.

  8. Nominal Pipe Size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size

    Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

  9. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    The French scale, also known as the French gauge or Charrière system, is a widely used measurement system for the size of catheters.It is commonly abbreviated as Fr but may also be abbreviated as Fg, FR or F, and less frequently as CH or Ch (referencing its inventor, Charrière).
