|
| Tachometer (AC) (DC) |
| |
A device which generates an AC or DC signal proportional to the speed at which it is rotated and the polarity of which is dependent on the direction of rotation of the rotor.
|
|
| Tallow |
| |
The fat produced by the rendering process.
|
|
| Tank |
| |
The reservoir or sump.
|
|
| Tapered relief |
| |
Outlet portion of a pellet die hole that has been counterbored with a taper.
|
|
| Temposonics |
| |
Linear displacement transducer.
|
|
| Therapeutic |
| |
Use of antibiotics at dosage levels sufficient to treat, control or prevent clinical disease of bacteria origin. Antibiotic therapy is usually initiated as empirical treatment, followed by a determination of a specific diagnosis.
|
|
| Thermal oil |
| |
A heat transfer fluid used instead of steam. They are not interchangeable within the same kiln. Thermal oil is capable of higher temperatures at low operating pressure and is not susceptible to freezing.
|
|
| Thermocouple (TC) |
| |
A sensor that measures temperature based on the voltage difference between two dissimilar metals.
|
|
| Thermosetting glues and resins |
| |
Glues and resins that are cured with heat but do not soften when subsequently subjected to high temperatures.
|
|
| Ton (T) |
| |
1. US unit of weight equal to 2,000 lb; also called a Short ton.
2. British unit of weight equal to 2,240 lb (1,016 kg); also called a Long ton.
|
|
| Tonne |
| |
A unit of weight in the metric system equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204 pounds. Also called a Metric ton.
|
|
| Torque |
| |
A rotary thrust. The turning effort of a fluid motor usually expressed in inch pounds.
|
|
| Torque converter |
| |
A rotary fluid coupling that is capable of multiplying torque.
|
|
| Torque motor |
| |
A type of electromechanical transducer having rotary motion used in the input stages of servo valves.
|
|
| Total daily nutrient intake |
| |
Every nutrient that an animal consumes in a day has a contribution towards the total daily nutrient needs of that animal.
|
|
| Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) |
| |
Concept that comes from the old system of measuring available energy of feeds and energy requirements of animals involving a complex formula of measured nutrients. It is very hard to measure but widely used in some parts of the U.S. and Canada.
|
|
| Total mixed ration (TMR) |
| |
Consists of all the feed ingredients mixed together to form the ration allowance for the animal.
|
|
| Transducer (or feedback transducer) |
| |
An element which measures the results at the load and sends a signal back to the amplifier.
|
|
| Traps |
| |
A device that separates condensate and air from the steam within the steam heating coils.
|
|
| Traps, float and thermostatic |
| |
Traps that discharge condensate at a rate dependent on the position of an internal float. Air is removed through a thermostatic air vent.
|
|
| Traps, inverted bucket |
| |
Mechanical traps that operate on the difference in the density between steam and water.
|
|
| Traps, orifice |
| |
Traps that discharge steam at a constant rate and have no internal moving parts to alter or stem its flow.
|
|
| Traps, thermostatic |
| |
Traps that use an internal bellows, which expands when steam flows to the trap, closing the orifice. As condensate accumulates the bellows contracts to release it.
|
|
| Trough |
| |
A container for drinking water or feed of farm animals.
|
|
| Turbine |
| |
A rotary device that is actuated by the impact of a moving fluid against blades or vanes.
|
|
| Turbulent flow (turbulence) |
| |
A condition where the fluid particles move in random paths rather than in continuous parallel paths.
|
|
| Two-way valve |
| |
A directional control valve with two flow paths.
