  2. BS 4994 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_4994

    It is property per unit width, per unit mass of reinforcement. For example, UNIT STRENGTH is defined as load in Newtons per millimeter (of laminate width) for a layer consisting of 1 kg of glass per square meter, i.e., the unit is N/mm per kg/m2 glass. This standard still remains as most popular reference material for FRP tanks and vessels

  3. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    For example, the absolute pressure compared to vacuum is p = ρ g Δ z + p 0 , {\displaystyle p=\rho g\Delta z+p_{\mathrm {0} },} where Δ z {\displaystyle \Delta z} is the total height of the liquid column above the test area to the surface, and p 0 is the atmospheric pressure , i.e., the pressure calculated from the remaining integral over ...

  4. Strength of ships - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_ships

    Tertiary strength and loads are the forces, strength, and bending response of individual sections of hull plate between stiffeners, and the behaviour of individual stiffener sections. Usually the tertiary loading is simpler to calculate: for most sections, there is a simple, maximum hydrostatic load or hydrostatic plus slamming load to calculate.

  5. Hydrostatic stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_stress

    In continuum mechanics, hydrostatic stress, also known as isotropic stress or volumetric stress, [1] is a component of stress which contains uniaxial stresses, but not shear stresses. [2] A specialized case of hydrostatic stress contains isotropic compressive stress, which changes only in volume, but not in shape. [ 1 ]

  6. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    Consider two wells, X and Y. Well X has a measured depth of 9,800 ft and a true vertical depth of 9,800 ft while well Y has measured depth of 10,380 ft while its true vertical depth is 9,800 ft. To calculate the hydrostatic pressure of the bottom hole, the true vertical depth is used because gravity acts (pulls) vertically down the hole. [2]

  7. Stress triaxiality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_Triaxiality

    In continuum mechanics, stress triaxiality is the relative degree of hydrostatic stress in a given stress state. [1] It is often used as a triaxiality factor, T.F, which is the ratio of the hydrostatic stress, σ m {\displaystyle \sigma _{m}} , to the Von Mises equivalent stress , σ e q {\displaystyle \sigma _{eq}} .

  8. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    The moving parts do not come into contact, so there is no sliding friction; the load force is supported solely by the pressure of the moving fluid. There are two principal ways of getting the fluid into the bearing: In fluid static, hydrostatic and many gas or air bearings, the fluid is pumped in through an orifice or through a porous material ...

  9. Testing and inspection of diving cylinders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_and_inspection_of...

    A hydrostatic test involves pressurising the cylinder to its test pressure (usually 5/3 or 3/2 of the working pressure) and measuring its volume before and after the test. A permanent increase in volume above the tolerated level means the cylinder fails the test and must be permanently removed from service. [3]: sect. 5.7.3
