Related Terms

RESTRICTOR

A device for producing a deliberate pressure drop or resistance in a line by reducing the cross-sectional flow area.

ROTARY COMPRESSOR

Mechanism which pumps fluid by using rotating motion.

ADJUSTABLE DIFFERENTIAL

A means of changing the difference between the control cut-in and cut-out points.

ACTION

Refers to the action of a controller. It defines what is done to regulate the final control element to effect control.

SHED MODE

A method of demand control that reduces kW demand through shedding and restoring loads.

COMPRESSOR

A device which converts mechanical force and motion into pneumatic flow power.

CUTTING FLUID

Any fluid applied to a cutting tool to assist in the cutting operation by cooling, lubricating or other means.

FILTER MANIFOLD

A filter assembly containing multiple ports and integral relating components which services more than one fluid circuit.

ANALYTICAL FERROGRAPHY

The magnetic precipitation and subsequent analysis of wear debris from a fluid sample .This approach involves passing a volume of fluid over a chemically treated microscope slide which is supported over a magnetic field. Permanent magnets are arranged in such a way as to create a varying field strength over the length of the substrate. This varying strength causes wear debris to precipitate in a distribution with respect to size and mass over the Ferrogram. Once rinsed and fixed to the substrate, this debris deposit serves as an excellent media for optical analysis of the composite wear particulates.

EFFLUENT

The fluid leaving a component.
