DIN
Rail A standardized 35 mm wide metal rail with hat-shaped cross
section. It is widely used, especially in Europe, for mounting circuit breakers
and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks. EIA
Interface The term for a number of equipment interfaces compliant
with voluntary industry standards developed by the Electronic Industries Association
to define interface parameters. The telecommunication standard developing bodies
of the EIA are now part of the Telecommunications Industry Association, and the
standards are designated TIA/EIA-XXX. Well
Head A term used in the oil and gas industry to describe the equipment
located at the top of a well. The usual equipment is a control or choke valve
to control oil/gas flow and pressure and temperature gauges. Some well heads can
also include equipment to operate downhole valves or may include equipment to
provide artificial lift such as a beam pump, electrical submersible pump. Plot
Plan An engineering diagram which shows schematically the equipment
layout, the position of roads, buildings and other constructions inside an industrial
plant with their dimensions and distances in between. York International NYSE:
YRK is manufacturer of industrial equipment for air conditioning, heating, refrigerating,
etc. The company was sold to Johnson Controls, Inc. NYSE: JCI for $3.2 Billion
in August 2005. Zenoah
The Group's principal activities
are to manufacture engines and applied machinery, hydraulic equipment and repairs.
Operations are carried out through the following divisions: Agricultural equipment
(General-use engines, chainsaws, blowers, hammer knife mowers, shears and shredders);
Construction machinery (Mini-shovels, micro-shovels and mini-loaders); Other (Repairs
of aircraft engines, Go-Peds engines, small gas hobby engines for various large-scale
radio control applications including radio controlled planes, radio controlled
cars and radio controlled boats, aircraft related equipment and electronic beam
welding). Agricultural equipment accounted for 37% of fiscal 2002 revenues; industrial
machinery, 33%; construction machines, 27% and other, 3%. Surface
Mount Technology Component placement systems are robotic machines
which are used to place Surface Mount Devices (SMD’s) onto a Printed Circuit Board
(PCB). They are used for high speed, high precision placing of broad range of
electronic components, like capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits onto the
PCB’s which are in turn used in computers, telecommunications equipment, consumer
electronic goods, industrial equipment, medical instruments, automotive systems,
military systems and aerospace engineering. Acetylene
Torch Oxy-fuel welding of metal is commonly called oxyacetylene
welding since acetylene is the predominant choice for a fuel, or often simply
gas welding. In gas welding and cutting, the heat needed to melt the metal comes
from a fuel gas burning with oxygen in a torch. Arc
Welder A welder is a tradesman who specialises in welding materials
together. The materials to be joined can be metals (such as steel, aluminium,
brass, stainless steel etc.) or varieties of plastic or polymer. |
