  2. Control grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_grid

    A valve can contain more than one control grid. The hexode contains two such grids, one for a received signal and one for the signal from a local oscillator. The valve's inherent non-linearity causes not only both original signals to appear in the anode circuit, but also the sum and difference of those signals.

  3. Valve leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_leakage

    Class IV valves have no more than 0.01% leakage under those conditions; this tends to require multiple graphite piston rings or a single Teflon piston ring, and lapped metal seats. Class V valves leak less than 5 × 10 −12 cubic metres, per second, per bar of pressure differential, per millimetre of port diameter, of water when tested at the ...

  4. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    The vapour-sensing tube leak detection method involves the installation of a tube along the entire length of the pipeline. This tube – in cable form – is highly permeable to the substances to be detected in the particular application. If a leak occurs, the substances to be measured come into contact with the tube in the form of vapour, gas ...

  5. Valve audio amplifier technical specification - Wikipedia

    For pentodes, it is higher, about (5-7)/g m. Valves with high g m thus tend to have lower noise at high frequencies. In the audio frequency range (below 1–100 kHz), "1/f" noise becomes dominant, which rises like 1/f. Thus, valves with low noise at high frequency do not necessarily have low noise in the audio frequency range.

  6. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

    The effect is for the interstage pressure to rise until either the next breath is drawn, or the pressure exerts more force on the second stage valve than can be resisted by the spring, and the valve opens briefly, often with a popping sound, to relieve the pressure. the frequency of the popping pressure relief depends on the flow in the second ...

  7. Pentagrid converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrid_converter

    The pentagrid converter is a type of radio receiving valve (vacuum tube) with five grids used as the frequency mixer stage of a superheterodyne radio receiver. The pentagrid was part of a line of development of valves that were able to take an incoming RF signal and change its frequency to a fixed intermediate frequency , which was then ...

  8. Valve transmitters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_transmitters

    Another term for the anode in a valve is the plate so hence on many designs the anode current is named the plate current. In the RF designs shown on this page between the anode and the high voltage supply (known by convention as B+) is a tuned circuit. This tuned circuit has been brought to resonance, and in a class A design can be thought of ...

  9. Valve amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_amplifier

    6N3C power tube. A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to increase the amplitude or power of a signal.Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers in the 1960s and 1970s.
