  2. DP cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dp_cell

    The DP-cell will indicate the relative difference between the pressure of the vessel (container) and the atmospheric pressure. This signal is often wired to an indicator that reads out locally, or remotely in a control room, and/or as a control (or feedback) signal to a valve, pump, or other control element to maintain a set pressure, or limit ...

  3. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    The level measurement can be either continuous or point values. Continuous level sensors measure level within a specified range and determine the exact amount of substance in a certain place, while point-level sensors only indicate whether the substance is above or below the sensing point.

  4. Precision measurement equipment laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Measurement...

    A Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) is a United States Air Force (USAF) facility in which the calibration and repair of test equipment takes place. This practice is also known as metrology: the science of measurement. Metrology is defined as the science of weights & measures, while a PMEL is the place where technicians perform ...

  5. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...

  6. Dynamic positioning - Wikipedia

    The DP training and certification scheme is operated by The Nautical Institute (NI). The NI issue logbooks to trainees, they accredit training centres and control the issuance of certification. With ever more DP ships and with increasing manpower demands, the position of DPO is gaining increasing prominence.

  7. Telemetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemetry

    Systems that need external instructions and data to operate require the counterpart of telemetry: telecommand. [ 2 ] Although the term commonly refers to wireless data transfer mechanisms (e.g., using radio , ultrasonic, or infrared systems), it also encompasses data transferred over other media such as a telephone or computer network , optical ...

  8. Dye penetrant inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye_penetrant_inspection

    Dye penetrant inspection (DP), also called liquid penetrate inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics).

  9. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Flow measurement is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured using devices called flowmeters in various ways. The common types of flowmeters with industrial applications are listed below: Obstruction type (differential pressure or variable area) Inferential (turbine type) Electromagnetic
