Serial
One after another, bit by bit. For example, a transfer is serial if the information is passed on one after another on the same line. Opposite: Parallel
Sequential
One after another, in sequence. Example: Sequential control , in which the switching takes place step by step.
Nominal width
1. Term previously used instead of " nominal size " to indicate a device size. 2. Standardised numerical variables with which the inside diameter of pipes is compared. The nominal width for pipes is d
Nominal flow rate
General : Flow rate under nominal operating conditions. These are the conditions for which a device has been designed based on its application and when not subjected to a load (CETOP RP 100). For cont
Nominal viscosity
Viscosity of a hydraulic fluid at a defined temperature. This used to be +50°C according to DIN 51 502 and has been +40°C for a number of years now according to ISO 3448 (DIN 51 519). It is essential
Nominal power
Power of a device (pump, motor, valve ) within defined parameters.
Nominal force of a cylinder
The force produced in theory by the piston rod, ignoring any friction losses, when the cylinder is operating at nominal pressure . As far as single-acting cylinders with spring return are concerned, t
Nominal size
The details relating to the nominal size of devices used in fluid technology are key variables which do not refer to units or dimensions and do not have to be associated with any numerical variable fo
Nominal mode of operation
The nominal mode of operation describes the basic loading of an electrical machine. It is defined in international standard IEC 60034-1. It helps provide an initial assessment of whether a component (
Nominal operating conditions
Conditions for which a device has been designed based on its application. The details — if not already specified in standards — are generally set out in manufacturer's catalogues and identified via th
