Alphanumeric
Refers to a character set that comprises as a minimum the decimal numbers and letters. It is useful to define the scope of the alphanumeric character set in the specific case (EDIN 44 300 part 2).
Additive (for lubricants)
Chemical additive that changes the existing characteristics of a fluid or adds new characteristics (CETOP RP 100). The natural substance mineral oil is lacking a series of characteristics for its task
Scraper
Valve that can shut-off the flow in both directions. In fluid technology this valve is implemented in then form of a seated or ball valve. One of the most important sources of contamination in hydraul
Load flow Q L
Flow through a valve as determined by a given load and a specific signal. With continuously adjustable valves , the load flow is described in terms of the flow rate load function Q L=f(y,pL).
Automatic retrim
Measures for the automatic adjustment of the controller parameters . The majority of operations that are necessary for the re-optimisation of can be defined in schemas and described by formula-based r
Displacement units
The elements in hydrostatic displacement machines , which bring about the suction and transport process. They include, for example, the teeth in geared machines, the vanes in vane machines or the pist
Signal processing
Sum of all manipulations required to trigger certain functions in the process (in the system) using defined input signals (DIN 19 237). A distinction is made between analogue , digital and binary sign
Pump adjustment
Adjustments of positive displacement machines.
Lip seal
Design category for seals with a pronounced lip. The main examples are grooved ring seals with one or two lips ( Figure L 23 ), as well as roof-shaped seals and lip seals — although the latter are not
Semiconductor strain gauge
which relies on the piezoresistive effect of semiconductors under a mechanical load. Here, as well as depending on the strain, the measured value is also highly dependent on the temperature. The measu
