A cap for the top of the mast.

A coupling pin centered on the front underside of a chassis; couples to the tractor.

The electric current that flows between metals or conductive nonmetal in a galvanic couple.

A filter unit that combines three principles to filter out oil aerosols: 1) Direct interception - A sieving action, 2) Inertial impaction - Collision with filter media fibers, 3) Diffusion -Particles travel in a spiral motion, presenting an effective fron ...

A motor in which a three phase (or any multiphase) alternating current (i.e. the working current) is supplied to iron-cored coils (or windings) within the stator. As a result, a rotating magnetic field is set up, which induces a magnetizing current in the ...

One of the large square openings in the deck of a ship through which freight is hoisted in or out, and access is had to the hold.

Alternating current is carried by conductors and a ground to residential, commercial, or industrial consumers. The waveform of the phase power appears as a single continuous sine wave at the system frequency whose amplitude is the rated voltage of the pow ...

The process of cooling by which a heat absorbing media absorbs heat from one source and radiates the heat away.

The depth below which the ground is saturated with water. No water table exists if the ground water is confined by an overlying impermeable stratum, as in the case of artesian ground water.

The center plank on a wooden deck.

A train of a specified number of railcars, perhaps 100, which remain as a unit for a designated destination or until a change in routing is made.

The maximum distance, usually horizontally, at which a given object or light source is just visible under particular conditions of transmittance and background luminance.

A metallic element of atomic weight 200.6 1, unique (for metals) in that it remains liquid under all but very extreme temperatures.

A device that removes solid contaminants, such as dirt or metal particles, from a liquid or gas (air is a gas), or that separates one liquid from another, or a liquid from a gas. The term filter describes the complete unit ... housing, filter element, int ...

A mathematical representation of the frequency or ratio that specific wind speeds occur within a specified time interval.

The standard deviation (positive square-root of the variation) of the errors associated with physical measurements of an unknown quantity, or statistical estimates of an unknown parameter or of a random variable.

Measuring point for compressor acceptance test. Distribution pressure (headers).

To free something from the binding action of ice by warming it to a temperature above the melting point of ice. Also, a warm spell when ice and snow melt.

IMO performance standard for ECDIS
