  2. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Switch enclosures may also be required to be weatherproof, corrosion resistant, or submersible. An electronic pressure switch incorporates some variety of pressure transducer (strain gauge, capacitive element, or other) and an internal circuit to compare the measured pressure to a set point. Such devices may provide improved repeatability ...

  3. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  4. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  5. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    A thermal switch (sometimes thermal reset or thermal cutout (TCO)) is a device which normally opens at a high temperature (often with a faint "plink" sound) and re-closes when the temperature drops. The thermal switch may be a bimetallic strip, often encased in a tubular glass bulb to protect it from dust or short circuit. Another common design ...

  6. Wireline (cabling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireline_(cabling)

    Wireline truck rigged up to a drilling rig in Canada. In the oil and gas industry, the term wireline usually refers to the use of multi-conductor, single conductor or slickline cable, or "wireline", as a conveyance for the acquisition of subsurface petrophysical and geophysical data and the delivery of well construction services such as pipe recovery, perforating, plug setting and well ...

  7. Sail switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_switch

    A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is actuated on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. [1] A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle or a diaphragm which gets displaced due to the force of fluid or air moving past it.

  8. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    Pump pressure, which is also referred to as system pressure loss, is the sum total of all the pressure losses from the oil well surface equipment, the drill pipe, the drill collar, the drill bit, and annular friction losses around the drill collar and drill pipe. It measures the system pressure loss at the start of the circulating system and ...

  9. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

    In electrical distribution, a fuse cutout or cut-out fuse (often referred to as a cutout) is a combination of a fuse and a switch, used in primary overhead feeder lines and taps to protect distribution transformers from current surges and overloads. An overcurrent caused by a fault in the transformer or customer circuit will cause the fuse to ...
