  2. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

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

    The oil pressure at the pump outlet, which is what opens the pressure relief valve, is simply the resistance to flow caused by the bearing clearances and restrictions. The oil pressure gauge or warning lamp reflects the pressure at the specific point where its sensor is located within the pressurized system.

  4. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Thus, a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions. A MAP sensor will never display a negative reading because it is measuring absolute pressure, where zero is the total absence of pressure. Vacuum is measured as a negative pressure relative to normal atmospheric pressure. Vacuum-Boost sensors can ...

  5. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

    direct TPM sensor fitted in valve system, manufacturer VDO. In most current designs of direct TPMS, a small electronic assembly which is rugged enough to be mounted inside a tire, measures the pressure using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) [1] pressure sensor and then transmits this and other information to one or more vehicle receivers. [1]

  6. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil pan) below the engine and a single pump. A dry-sump engine requires a pressure relief valve to regulate negative pressure inside the engine, so internal seals are not inverted.

  9. Japanese Automotive Standards Organization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Automotive...

    It stipulates the lubricating oil requirements for 2-stroke gasoline engines, such as those used in motorcycles, general-purpose machines, and outboard motors, [1] and was established in 1994. [2] For 2-stroke oil, lubricity, cleanliness, exhaust smoke, and exhaust system blockage are evaluated using the test methods specified in JASO M 340, M ...
