  2. Hot-filament ionization gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-filament_ionization_gauge

    The most common ion gauge is the hot-cathode Bayard–Alpert gauge, with a small collector inside the grid. [1] A glass envelope with an opening to the vacuum can surround the electrodes, but usually the nude gauge is inserted in the vacuum chamber directly, the pins being fed through a ceramic plate in the wall of the chamber. Hot-cathode ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_clock

    Lens clock. A lens clock is a mechanical dial indicator that is used to measure the dioptric power of a lens.It is a specialized version of a spherometer.A lens clock measures the curvature of a surface, but gives the result as an optical power in diopters, assuming the lens is made of a material with a particular refractive index.

  4. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

    The Pirani gauge is a robust thermal conductivity gauge used for the measurement of the pressures in vacuum systems. [1] It was invented in 1906 by Marcello Pirani. [2] Marcello Stefano Pirani was a German physicist working for Siemens & Halske which was involved in the vacuum lamp industry.

    The ability to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the test piece, offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Paint thickness gauges, ultrasonic coating thickness gauges, digital thickness gauges and many more options are available to test plastics, glass, ceramics, metal and other materials.

  8. Digital video - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video

    Digital video is an electronic representation of moving visual images in the form of encoded digital data. This is in contrast to analog video, which represents moving visual images in the form of analog signals. Digital video comprises a series of digital images displayed in rapid succession, usually at 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second ...

  9. Extensometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensometer

    In some applications the video extensometer is replacing mechanical measurement units - but this is mainly clip-on devices. When measuring the modulus of elasticity on 50 mm gauge length plastics to ISO 527 an accuracy of 1 μm is required. Some video extensometers cannot achieve this, whilst for production testing it is better to use automated ...
