  2. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    P&IDs are originally drawn up at the design stage from a combination of process flow sheet data, the mechanical process equipment design, and the instrumentation engineering design. During the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, allowing for further safety and operational ...

  3. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Coordinate dimensioning was the sole best option until the post-World War II era saw the development of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), which departs from the limitations of coordinate dimensioning (e.g., rectangular-only tolerance zones, tolerance stacking) to allow the most logical tolerancing of both geometry and dimensions ...

  4. Level staff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_staff

    A level staff, also called levelling rod, is a graduated wooden or aluminium rod, used with a levelling instrument to determine the difference in height between points or heights of points above a vertical datum. When used for stadiametric rangefinding, the level staff is called a stadia rod.

    Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.

    The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) is a North American railway industry group. It publishes recommended practices for the design, construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure, which are used in the United States and Canada .

  7. Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration

    It is often used within earthquake engineering (including seismic building codes) and it is commonly plotted on seismic hazard maps. [6] In an earthquake, damage to buildings and infrastructure is related more closely to ground motion, of which PGA is a measure, rather than the magnitude of the earthquake itself.

  8. Reduced level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_level

    The term reduced level is denoted shortly by 'RL'. National survey departments of each country determine RLs of significantly important locations or points. These points are called permanent benchmarks and this survey process is known as Great Trigonometrical Surveying (GTS).

  9. Electronic system-level design and verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_system-level...

    The term Electronic System Level or ESL Design was first defined by Gartner Dataquest, an EDA-industry-analysis firm, on February 1, 2001. [1] It is defined in ESL Design and Verification [ 2 ] as: "the utilization of appropriate abstractions in order to increase comprehension about a system, and to enhance the probability of a successful ...
