A spring which is designed to achieve a fixed spring constant over a wide temperature range. Usually, this involves an alloy with high nickel content such as Ni-Span C. It is common for these springs to be stress relieved at elevated temperature after for ...

A line of equal or constant pressure.

Is a process taking place under constant pressure. To change the volume from state 1 to state 2, heat must be removed. The temperature change is proportional to the change in specific volume.

Of equal or constant pressure, with respect to either space or time.

Lines drawn on a weather map indicating regions of equal pressure. When the lines are close together, this indicates a rapid change in air pressure, accompanied by strong winds.

Line on a chart linking points of equal depth. also known as a Depth Contour.

Is a process taking place under constant volume. To raise the pressure from state 1 to state 2, heat must be added. The pressure change is proportional to the change in temperature.

A graph or chart that shows constant corrosion behavior with changing solution (environment) composition and temperature.

A line connecting points of equal magnetic variation on a map.

A line drawn through geographical points having the same duration of sunshine (or other function of solar radiation) during a given interval of time.

A line drawn through points of equal humidity on given surface.

Line drawn through geographical points recording equal amounts of precipitation during a given time period or for a particular storm.

A type of passive solar heating system where heat is collected in one area for use in another.

A line drawn through all points on a map having the same amount of cloudiness.

A line drawn through geographical points where a given seasonal biological event occurs on the same date.

A line drawn through geographical points having the same pluvial index.

A line of equal or constant temperature.

Is a process taking place under constant temperature. To compress the gas from state 1 to state 2, heat must be removed to keep the temperature constant. The pressure change is reciprocal to the change in specific volume.

Is a compression in which the temperature of a gas remains constant.
