Cycle frequency
Cycle number possible per time unit under defined operating conditions.
Position sensors
Switching elements that after contact or contactlessly output position-dependent signals. As a rule they operate electrically. For electrical position switches a differentiation is made between contac
Pressure ratio valve
Valve that maintains the ratio of outlet pressure to inlet pressure constant.
Pressure pulse
Brief pressure rise and pressure drop or vice versa (DIN 24 312).
Pressure rise
Time-dependent pressure change from a lower value to a higher value (DIN 24 312).
Doppler effect
Perceivable and measurable change in frequency during the propagation of waves caused by the relative motion between the source and observer. Four different cases must be taken into account for the ca
Digital system
Expresses the related variable for the information to be displayed as the sum of smallest units e defined for the system ( digitising ).
Differential pressure
Measured variable for the pressure difference between p 1 and p 2 . The differential pressure can be positive or negative, depending on whether p 1 is greater than p 2 or smaller than p 2 (Figure D 23
Continuous operating conditions
Are characterised by numerical values of the individual variables with which the system can be operated without interruption (CETOP RP 100).
