Finger: A Finger is a person that has been in the field long enough to no longer be a worm but is not smart enough to be considered a Hand. i.e. Drill Finger, Frac Finger.

  3. Variable valve lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_lift

    Variable valve lift (VVL) is an automotive piston engine technology which varies the height a valve opens in order to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. There are two main types of VVL: discrete, which employs fixed valve lift amounts, and continuous, which is able to vary the amount of lift.

    The computer unit control and receives data from other ODME components. [7] ODME systems also have an analyzing unit that contains the Oil content meter, a fresh water valve for cleaning purposes, and a pressure transmitter that monitors the sample flow through the measuring cell. [7]

  8. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them. Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate ...

  9. Electrohydraulic servo valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydraulic_servo_valve

    Simple hydraulic control valves are binary, they are either on or off. Servo valves are different in that they can continuously vary the flow they supply from zero up to their rated maximum flow, or until the output pressure reaches the supplied pressure. More complex servo valves can control other parameters.
