An artefact joining two parts so that one or both can pivot freely (as on a bolt or pin).

An instrument panel dedicated to a particular system.

A vessel intended to contain fluid for storage. Typically a receiving or collecting function for further distribution. Typically with a vertical and cylindrical or square shape and a flat or conical bottom.

A fluid regulator that controls the flow of liquid or gas from a pipe or container. Taps are often attached to a sink or bath.

A device that transfer data between a computer and a magnetic tape.

In a communications network, a network node equipped for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols.

A physical object that converts sound signals into corresponding variations of electric current (or potential), which is transmitted by wire or radio to a distant point where it is reconverted into sound.

A detector intended to detect temperature.

A detecting element intended to sense temperature.

A gauge that is intended to measure and indicate a temperature.

A physical object that detects temperatures; records, modifies and/or displays or performs a combination of these activities.

A regulator that is intended to keep a temperature within certain boundaries.

A functional switch that is intended to give an on or off signal when the temperature have reached a pre-set value.

A transmitter that is producing a standardized output signal dependent of a received input signal from a temperature element.

An 'artefact' intended for the termination of cables.

An analysing instrument that is intended to determine a physical property that is named thermal conductivity.

An element which uses the principle of thermal conductivity to measure volume flow rate.

A velocity flow meter which uses the principle of thermal conductivity to measure volume flow rate.

A pair of electrical conductors of dissimilar materials, joined at one end (the measuring or hot junction), which produces an electromotive force (e.m.f.) due to the Seebeck effect in a circuit formed by connecting the other ends of the dissimilar materials used (the reference or cold junction) to a device for measuring e.m.f. Def. acc. to IEC 902 1987.

A solid state device that converts heat flux (temperature differences) directly into electrical energy.

A pilot switch whose function is controlled by variations of temperature and whose contacts make or break automatically a load circuit when the temperature of the ambient space in which its sensing element placed or the temperature of the surface on which it is fixed reaches a predetermined value.

A physical object that is a pressure-tight receptacle adapted to receive a temperature sensing element, provided with external threads or other means for pressure-tight attachment to a vessel or pipe.

A physical object that includes a water jet or propeller used on vessels intended to provide a means to move the vessel sideways for maintaining the vessel's position without anchors.

A semiconductor device that is a three-terminal semiconductor rectifier made up of four layers, p-n-p-n, so that when the fourth is positive with respect to the first, a voltage pulse applied to the third layer initiates a flow of current through the device which continues as long as it is greater than some minimum value.

A timepiece that measures a time interval and signals its end; a time-switch.
