internal pressure test
1Internal ballistics — Internal ballistics, a subfield of ballistics, is the study of a projectile s behavior from the time its propellant s igniter is initiated until it exits the gun barrel. The study of internal ballistics is important to designers and users of… …
2test — 1. To prove; to try a substance; to determine the chemical nature of a substance by means of reagents. 2. A method of examination, as to determine the presence or absence of a definite disease or of some substance in any of the fluids, tissues,… …
3Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
4Positive airway pressure — A typical CPAP machine houses the air pump in a case lined with sound absorbing material for quieter operation. A hose carries the pressurized air to a face mask or nasal pillow …
5Heavy Water Components Test Reactor — (HWCTR) was an experimental nuclear reactor at the Savannah River Site in Aiken County, South Carolina. It was commonly called Hector. It was constructed starting in 1958 in a temporary construction area, which is now called B Area. This is near… …
6Jugular venous pressure — A man with congestive heart failure and marked jugular venous distension. External jugular vein marked by an arrow. The jugular venous pressure (JVP, sometimes referred to as jugular venous pulse) is the indirectly observed pressure over the… …
7Abdominojugular test — The abdominojugular test (AJR), also known as hepatojugular reflux, is used as an alternate test for measuring jugular venous pressure (JVP) through the distension or swelling of the jugular vein. A positive AJR best correlates with the pulmonary …
8McMurray test — The McMurray test, also known as the McMurray circumduction test is used to evaluate individuals for tears in the meniscus of the knee.[1] It is a rotation test for demonstrating torn cartilage of the knee. A tear in the meniscus may cause a… …
9Triaxial shear test — A triaxial shear test is a common method to measure the mechanical properties of many deformable solids, especially soil, sand, clay, and other granular materials or powders. There are several variations on the test, discussed below.Basic… …
10Copper units of pressure — or CUP, and the related lead units of pressure or LUP, are terms applied to pressure measurements used in the field of internal ballistics for the estimation of chamber pressures in firearms. These terms were adopted by convention to indicate… …
