  2. Aircraft maintenance checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance_checks

    The D check, sometimes known as a "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV), [10] is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. This check occurs approximately every 6-10 years. [9] It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul.

  3. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

    The 3/4"NGS and 3/4"BSP are very similar, having the same pitch and a pitch diameter that only differs by about 0.2 mm (0.008 in), but they are not compatible, as the thread forms are different. All parallel thread valves are sealed using an O-ring at top of the neck thread which seals in a chamfer or step in the cylinder neck and against the ...

    One example of standard conditions for the calculation of SCCM is = 0 °C (273.15 K) [1] and = 1.01 bar (14.72 psia) and a unity compressibility factor = 1 (i.e., an ideal gas is used for the definition of SCCM). [2] This example is for the semi-conductor-manufacturing industry.

    P 2 and V 2 the initial pressure and volume of the other cylinder and P 3 is the equilibrium pressure. An example could be a 100-litre (internal volume) cylinder (V 1) pressurised to 200 bar (P 1) filling a 10-litre (internal volume) cylinder (V 2) which was unpressurised (P 2 = 1 bar) (resulting in both cylinder equalising to approximately 180 ...

  6. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Excess bearing clearance increases the pressure loss between the first and last bearing in a series. Depending on condition, an engine may have acceptable gauge pressure, and still only 5 psi pressure at one connecting rod, which will fail under high load. The pressure is actually created by the resistance to the flow of the oil around the ...

    It had a length of 8.35 m (27 ft 5 in), a width of 2.84 m (9 ft 4 in), a hull height of 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in), a turret roof height of 2.785 m (9 ft 1.6 in) with cupola included 3 m (9 ft 10 in). It was also the first tank with protection against artillery HE rounds: the front hull was protected by 35 mm (1.38 in) thick armour plate as was the turret.

  9. 4-6-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-6-2

    The introduction of the 4-6-2 design in 1901 has been described as "a veritable milestone in locomotive progress". [3] On many railways worldwide, Pacific steam locomotives provided the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric ...
