Blown film gauge rotates continuously.A new capacitance capacitance, in electricity, capability of a body, system, circuit, or device for storing electric charge. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of stored charge in coulombs to the impressed potential difference in volts. thickness gauge from Kundig International Inc., Wellesley, Mass., dispenses with hard wiring and transmits data to the operator station by RF signal. This permits the gauge to rotate in a full circle around the bubble (claimed to be a first) rather than oscillating os·cil·late intr.v. os·cil·lat·ed, os·cil·lat·ing, os·cil·lates 1. To swing back and forth with a steady, uninterrupted rhythm. 2. in 180[degrees] arcs. Kundig has quietly sold the Rotomat 550 for three years. The RF-transmission approach was originally developed for use on a mammoth mammoth, name for several large prehistoric elephants of the extinct genus Mammuthus, which ranged over Eurasia and North America in the Pleistocene epoch. 5.5-meter-diam. bubble in Monroe, La., which was the largest in the world. Hard wiring would have been too cumbersome for such a big system. Since then, the Rotomat 550 has been used for bubble diameters from 0.15 to 2.5 meters. It can use either Kundig's contacting or recently introduced "cling-free" thickness sensor, model KNC-200. As the bubble flutters, the KNC-200 moves in and out, riding on a 0.005-in. air cushion air cushion n. 1. Trapped air that supports a vehicle a short distance above the surface of land or water. 2. A device that uses trapped air to absorb the shock of motion, especially in vehicles. Also called air spring. against the bubble. In contrast, the contacting sensor adjusts its position against tbe bubble with a noncontacting ultrasonic ultrasonic /ul·tra·son·ic/ (-son´ik) beyond the upper limit of perception by the human ear; relating to sound waves having a frequency of more than 20,000 Hz. ul·tra·son·ic adj. 1. sensor.
