Not sure what cavitation and viscosity have to do with your lab equipment<\/a>? Time for a refresher on your terminology? Look below for an abbreviated list of common terms used for electrical, pressure, electrochemistry, and lab instruments and processes.<\/p>\n

\"High-Powered<\/a>

High-Powered Ultrasonic Cleaner from Cole-Parmer<\/p><\/div>\n

Absolute pressure (psia):<\/b> The total force per unit area exerted by a fluid. It is the sum of atmospheric and gauge pressures.<\/p>\n

Buffer:<\/b> In chemistry terms, a solution that maintains a set pH value regardless of added acids or bases; often used for calibration.<\/p>\n

Cavitation:<\/b> Process in which small bubbles are formed and implode violently. This results in aggressive cleaning action in ultrasonic cleaners.<\/p>\n

Convection:<\/b> Transmission of energy or mass in a medium by movement of the medium itself.<\/p>\n

Density:<\/b> The mass of a given substance per unit volume, often expressed as pounds\/ft3<\/sup> or grams\/cm3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Direct current (DC):<\/b> A current with a constant polarity.<\/p>\n

Explosion-proof (XPRF) motor:<\/b> A totally enclosed motor that will withstand an explosion of a specific vapor or gas within its housing, or will prevent sparks or flashes generated within its housing from igniting surrounding vapor or gas.<\/p>\n

Gauge pressure (psig):<\/b> A measure of the force per area exerted by a fluid using atmospheric pressure as a zero reference.<\/p>\n

Impedance:<\/b> The opposition in an electric circuit to the flow of an alternating current. It consists of ohmic resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance.<\/p>\n

LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System):<\/b> A system that manages operations of a testing laboratory<\/p>\n

Open drip-proof (ODP) motor:<\/b> An open motor with ventilator openings that will prevent liquids and solids, dropped from an angle of 0\u00b0 to 15\u00b0 from vertical, from interfering with its operation.<\/p>\n

Proportional control:<\/b> Control in which the amount of corrective action is proportional to the amount of error.<\/p>\n

Range:<\/b> The limits within which a device or circuit operates or the distance over which a transmitter operates reliably.<\/p>\n

Serial transmission:<\/b> Sending one bit at a time on a single transmission line.<\/p>\n

Temperature compensation:<\/b> Correction for the influence of temperature on a measurement.<\/p>\n

Transducer:<\/b> Any device which generates an electrical signal from real world physical measurements.<\/p>\n

Transmitter:<\/b> A device which translates the low-level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed.<\/p>\n

Three-phase motor:<\/b> A relatively inexpensive, self-starting motor (no starting winding or capacitor); can start heavy loads. The motor requires a three-phase AC power supply.<\/p>\n

Viscosity:<\/b> The resistance of a fluid to flow when subjected to shear stress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
