Material mechanical properties are intensive attribute of some material, meaning it is a physical characteristic independent of the material’s quantity. These quantitative characteristics can…
A passive transducer, such as a strain gauge, transforms mechanical displacement into a change in resistance. It’s a thin, wafer-like device that measures applied…
The Pirani gauge is a reliable thermal conductivity gauge that is used to monitor pressures in vacuum systems. Marcello Pirani came up with the…
A diaphragm is a material that is elastic and will displace if pressure is applied to it. The elastic property of the diaphragm will…
Just like other types of pressure gauges, the Bourdon pressure gauge is used to measure pressure. The Bourdon-tube gauge, which was invented in 1850,…
A pressure gauge is a device that measures the amount of fluid in a container. Pressure gauges are necessary for setting up and regulating…
The knuckle joint connects two rods whose axes either coincide or intersect and are in the same plane. They’re commonly found in tractor-trailers, roof…
Quick return mechanism is a common principle on shaper and slotter machines. This principle helps to change circular motion into reciprocating motion which in…
