Absolute digital measuring system
Measuring system in which the information on the actual (absolute) position is always available. For this purpose the sensor (e.g. glass measuring scale) must provide additional information. This info
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
Differential pressure measurement
To measure the differential pressure Δp the two pressures p 1 and p 2 must be separated from each other by diaphragms that are connected by a plunger. The deflection of the two diaphragms then corresp
Differential pressure gauge
Device that measures the difference between two pressures. This can be a pressure gauge with display or an electrical output. It can also be a device based on a or a piezoresistive system that either
Differential cylinder
Double-acting cylinder with one-sided piston rod in which the ratio of the piston area AK to the annular area on the piston rod side is essential for the function of the fluid-related circuit (CETOP R
Differential transformer
Inductive position measurement
Regenerative circuit
Circuit that routes the outlet flow on the piston rod side on a differential cylinder to the inlet on the piston side to increase the flow velocity ( rapid traverse circuit ) (Figure 22) . As a conseq
Differential piston
Double-action piston that has a smaller area A R on the rear. Pressure on the piston area A K generates the piston force and pressure on the annular area A R (in (Figure D 21) ) generates a counteract
Differential choke
Inductive position measurement
Diesel effect
If mineral oil that contains air bubbles is compressed very quickly, the bubbles are heated so quickly that even self-ignition of the air-gas mixture can occur. As a consequence a very large increase
