cams

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

Eccentric shafts used in most internal combustion engines to open and close valves.

bypass valve

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

A valve mechanism that assures system fluid flow when a preselected differential pressure across the filter element is exceeded; the valve allows all or part of the flow to bypass the filter element.

bushing

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

A short, externally threaded connector with a smaller size internal thread.

A system of filtration in which only a portion of the total flow of a circulating fluid system passes through a filter at any instant or in which a filter having its own circulating pump operates in ...

burst pressure rating

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

The maximum specified inside-out differential pressure that can be applied to a filter element without outward structural or filter-medium failure.

bulk modulus of elasticity

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

A ratio of normal stress to a change in volume. A term used in determining the compressibility of a fluid. Data for petroleum products can be found in the International Critical Tables.
