  2. Static pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure

    At least one author takes a different approach in order to avoid a need for the expression freestream static pressure. Gracey has written "The static pressure is the atmospheric pressure at the flight level of the aircraft". [15] [16] Gracey then refers to the air pressure at any point close to the aircraft as the local static pressure.

  3. 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. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

    Pressure due to direct impact of a strong breeze (~28 mph or 45 km/h) [27] [28] [31] 120 Pa Pressure from the weight of a U.S. quarter lying flat [32] [33] 133 Pa 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg [34] ±200 Pa ~140 dB: Threshold of pain pressure level for sound where prolonged exposure may lead to hearing loss [citation needed] ±300 Pa ±0.043 psi

  5. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    For example, the absolute pressure compared to vacuum is p = ρ g Δ z + p 0 , {\displaystyle p=\rho g\Delta z+p_{\mathrm {0} },} where Δ z {\displaystyle \Delta z} is the total height of the liquid column above the test area to the surface, and p 0 is the atmospheric pressure , i.e., the pressure calculated from the remaining integral over ...

  6. Flow conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_conditions

    In fluid measurement, the fluid's flow conditions (or flowing conditions) refer to quantities like temperature and static pressure of the metered substance.The flowing conditions are required data in order to calculate the density of the fluid at flowing conditions.

  7. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure and display pressure mechanically are called pressure gauges, vacuum gauges or compound gauges (vacuum & pressure). The widely used Bourdon gauge is a mechanical device, which both measures and indicates and is probably the best known ...

  8. Diffusion pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_pump

    An oil diffusion pump is used to achieve higher vacuum (lower pressure) than is possible by use of positive displacement pumps alone. Although its use has been mainly associated within the high-vacuum range, down to 1 × 10 −9 mbar (1 × 10 −7 Pa), diffusion pumps today can produce pressures approaching 1 × 10 −10 mbar (1 × 10 −8 Pa) when properly used with modern fluids and accessories.

  9. Hard suction hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_suction_hose

    5-inch (13 cm) flex suction hose with Storz fittings, mounted on an engine. Flexible suction hose (Flex suction or suction hose), not to be confused with hard suction hose in U.S., is a specific type of fire hose used in drafting operations, when a fire engine uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or other static water source.
