  2. Pore pressure gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_pressure_gradient

    Using the figures above, we can calculate the maximum pressure at various depths in an offshore oil well. Saltwater is 0.444 psi/ft (2.5% higher than fresh water but this not general and depends on salt concentration in water) Pore pressure in the rock could be as high as 1.0 psi/ft of depth (19.25 lb/gal)

  3. Chart datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_datum

    Tide tables give the height of the tide above a chart datum making it feasible to calculate the depth of water at a given point and at a given time by adding the charted depth to the height of the tide. One may calculate whether an area that dries is under water by subtracting the drying height from the [given] height calculated from the tide ...

  4. Knoop hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoop_hardness_test

    A pyramidal diamond point is pressed into the polished surface of the test material with a known (often 100 g) load, for a specified dwell time, and the resulting indentation is measured using a microscope. The geometry of this indenter is an extended pyramid with the length to width ratio being 7:1 and respective face angles are 172 degrees ...

  5. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    During uniform flow, the flow depth is known as normal depth (yn). This depth is analogous to the terminal velocity of an object in free fall, where gravity and frictional forces are in balance (Moglen, 2013). [3] Typically, this depth is calculated using the Manning formula. Gradually varied flow occurs when the change in flow depth per change ...

  6. Core sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_sample

    Rock core samples, the product of a diamond rig. A pied butcherbird perches nearby. A core sample is a cylindrical section of (usually) a naturally-occurring substance. Most core samples are obtained by drilling with special drills into the substance, such as sediment or rock, with a hollow steel tube, called a core drill. The hole made for the ...

  7. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    Vickers test scheme The pyramidal diamond indenter of a Vickers hardness tester An indentation left in case-hardened steel after a Vickers hardness test. The difference in length of both diagonals and the illumination gradient, are both classic indications of an out-of-level sample. This is not a good indentation. This is a good indentation.

    the permissible long term average depth of the water table (Dw) on the basis of agricultural drainage criteria; the soil's hydraulic conductivity (Ka and Kb) by measurements; the depth of the bottom of the aquifer (Di) the design drain spacing (L) can be found from the equation in dependence of the drain depth (Dd) and drain radius (r ...
