a hydraulic lime produces a mortar with setting properties assisted by the presence of water; hence, hydraulic limes are sometimes referred to as "water limes". This set is caused by clay substances present within the original lime source, in effect a naturally occurring additive. Non-hydraulic limes are a purer substances which can only achieve a set through carbonation, and are therefor sometimes referred to as "air limes".
powered by the pressure of oil forced through pipes by a pump
Of or pertaining to fluids in motion. Hydraulic cement has a composition which permits it to set quickly under water. Hydraulic jacks lift through the force transmitted to the movable part of the jack by a liquid. Hydraulic control refers to the mechanical control of various parts of machines, such as coal cutters, loaders, etc., through the operation or action of hydraulic cylinders.
pertaining to fluids in motion, or to the power exerted by water conveyed through pipes or channels
A system of controlling machinery or moving scenery using oil or water under pressure to move a piston or "ram". Used in many large-scale shows to automate scene changes.
Water power used to mine gold by building pressure through the force of gravity.
The term given to the study of water flow in rivers, estuaries and coastal systems.
An irrigation zone valve which uses small flexible tubes and water under pressure to provide the actuation signal from the controller to the valve. Requires special freeze protection in northern climates.
A reversal. This is a general term for reversals, eddy fences, and otherplaces where there is a hydraulic gap, a powerful current differential. Sometimes used in the plural to refer to the whole phenomenon of big water, whom massive waves,violent currents, and large holes are the obstacles, rather than rocks.
It is a mechanical operation involving the incompressibility of liquids which offers resistance when being forced into a cylinder or through an orifice. It then transmits an increase in applied force. This principle is followed by hydraulic brakes and clutches.
Using fluid to transmit force or convert force into mechanical movement.
Pertaining to the energy, momentum, and continuity effects of liquid in motion. The term usually refers to the flow of liquids in natural environments such as rivers or manmade structures such as pipes.
A heating system which circulates a heated fluid, usually water, through baseboard coils by means of a circulating pump which is conĀtrolled by a thermostat.
operated, moved, or effected by a fluid, especially water, under pressure
A means of operating machinery that moves water or oil through a pipe under pressure
having to do with water moved in pipes
moved or operated or effected by liquid (water or oil); "hydraulic erosion"; "hydraulic brakes"
a piston inside a sealed tube
Any device or operation that uses pressure or flow of oil, water, or other liquid of low viscosity.
operated by the pressure of a liquid
The use of fluid to transfer pressure from one point to another.
On a river, an area where water backflows at the base of a ledge or rock or otherwise reverses itself.
operated by liquid under pressure
A term used to describe the operation of a system by means of fluid pressure.
Tools using fluid pressure for activation, most often for jacking or pressure in the shop. The nature of fluids is that if low pressure is applied to a small area, the same pressure per unit area will be applied to a large area - so 10 pounds applied to 1 square inch by means of a lever and piston, will cause a 10 square inch piston to lift 100 pounds, the tradeoff being it will move 1/10th the distance. Small bottle jacks with a pump action input on a 1/2" diameter piston will lift 8-12 tons and cost under $50. Wheeled jacks with longer arms will lift 4,000 pounds and are used under automobiles. 2003-02-27 Pressure & Flow
A very large hole with reverse water flow.
Non-compressible fluid to transmit force to mechanical motion. Reservoir - A storage area for brake fluid for the master cylinder.
Involving, moved by, or operated by a fluid under pressure.
Of a mechanism operated, moved, or effected by use of water pressure.
When a cylinder fills with too much fuel, prohibiting compression and causing a mechanical malfunction (usually explosive).
Operated, moved or effected by means of water.
Related to the movement or pressure of water. Hydraulic hazards are those associated with erosion or sedimentation caused by the action of water flowing in a river or streambed, or oceanic currents and waves.
An area of major current changes which in turn create problems normally associated with rocks. Also, the formation of a backflow at the base of a ledge where the current reverses itself.
water formation following a sudden drop in the riverbed or drop over an obstruction that creates a powerful circulating force at the base of a drop. The circulating pressure of a powerful hydraulic can hold boats and paddlers for indeterminate lengths of time.
A system that uses fluids under pressure to transmit force or power. Hydraulic devices on a vehicle may include automatic transmission, power steering, and brake systems.
Pertaining to water in motion and the mechanics of the motion.
Relating to water in motion.
Operated, moved, or affected by a liquid pressure.
Fluid, oil or water, that is put under pressure with the use of a pump. The force from this pressure is transferred into movement by a motor or cylinder.
Relating to when a quantity of fluid is forced along one end of a line, exerting pressure at the other end. Since fluids cannot be compressed, when forced into a smaller cylinder, they exert a great amount of force. This technology is used hydraulic brake
Referring to water or other fluids in motion.
A system which uses liquid as a sensing or control medium
1. Machine operated by the force and movement of liquid; when a liquid is forced through an opening, tube, etc. 2. Setting or hardening of cement or mortar under water.
of or pertaining to fluids in motion; conveying, or acting, by water; operated or moved by means of water, as hydraulic mining. AGI
