Pressurizing springs

Spring or Mechanical Gauges (British), which include Petavel Manometer (See above) and High-Pressure Spring Gauge (p C338)... 

Forces at set pressure Spring load = Pressure load + Auxiliary load... 

Manometers and pressure springs may be described dynamically to a first approximation by second-order differential equations for which the roots of the characteristic equation are conjugate complex. As shown in Section III, 8, lc, since the roots are complex, these systems have an oscillatory mode, and the response of the system to step forcing, for example, is a damped sinusoid. 

The three most important types of thermometers are expansion-type thermometers (pressure thermometers), electrical thermometers, and radiation thermometers. In expansion-type thermometers the primary sensing element is a bulb containing an expansible fluid. The bulb is connected to a pressure spring through capillary tubing. Expansion of the thermometric fluid with rising temperature causes expansion of the pressure spring, which in turn is converted to a mechanical displacement as the final measure of temperature. The response of these thermometers... 

EXAMPLE 11 On a space station, a 10.0-L steel drum of oxygen gas at 25°C and 101.3 kPa pressure springs a leak, and 8.00 g of gas escapes before the leak is plugged. What is the final pressure of the oxygen in the drum at 25°C ... 

The active material of the cathode (6) is pressed into the inner surface of a steel can (2). A separator (3) of unwoven plastic fabric and/or cellophane is inserted into the can, which contains the electrolyte and prevents internal shortings. A petal-shaped brass current collector is in the central part of the cell. The space between the separator and the current collector is filled with the anode paste (7), which consists of the alkaline solution gelled with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and zinc powder. An additional amount of pure electrolyte (9) is inside the current collector. To provide exchangeability with conventional cylindrical cells, the upper side of the cell has a bulge (1) that serves as the positive terminal. The bottom (13) serves as the negative terminal. To improve internal contact a pressure spring (12) is often used. The can is inserted into a metal jacket (4) with the insulator (5).
