 Terminology

(Jargon)
Industry Language

Reciprocating = the act of moving back and forth.

15
 Terminology
Displacement = Area of piston X length of stroke
X # of strokes per minute.
Expressed in cubic inches.
(824.6 or 825)

Naturally Aspirated = Internal combustion engine that

receives combustion air
naturally, not force air.

Turbocharged = Internal combustion engine that

receives it’s combustion air
compressed.
16
 Terminology

Approach = 30°F approach means the cooler will

cool the gas to 130° when ambient
temperature is 100°F.

17
 Terminology
Units of Measure:

PSI = pounds per square inch

PSIG = pounds per square inch gauge
PSIA = pounds per square inch absolute
= gauge + atmospheric pressure
MMCFD = million cubic feet per day
MMSCFD = million cubic feet per day @ the
standard conditions of 14.65psia & 60°F
18
 Terminology
In-Hg = inches of mercury pressure
= can be a manometer or mercury filled
gauge, used where pressures are low &
extreme accuracy is desired
= 1” Hg = .491 PSI

In-H2O = inches of water pressure

= usually a manometer filled with water
= used for measuring very low pressure
= 1/13.6 as heavy as mercury
13.6” of H2O = 1” of Hg = .491 PSI
19
 Terminology
Temperature =
A measure of molecular energy… the higher the
temperature the more molecular energy.

Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) =

Temperature scale where, at sea level, the
freezing point of water is 32° & the boiling point
is 212°. The distance between these two points
is 180°.
20
 Terminology

Degrees Centigrade or Celsius (°C) =

A scale used worldwide which relates to the
metric system. At sea level, the freezing point of
pure water is 0° & the boiling point is 100°. The
distance between these two points is 100°.

Temperature range:
Centigrade = 100° = 5
Fahrenheit = 180° = 9
21
 Terminology
Converting from ° F to ° C expressed as follows:

° C = 5/9 X (° F - 32)

Example: Convert 100° F to ° C

°C = 5/9 X (100 - 32)
= 5/9 X 68
= 37.8° C

 Terminology
Torque

23
 Terminology
Torque

Torque = 2 X 1000
Torque = 2000 Ft. Lbs.

24
 Terminology
Force – Example
– 10” Power Cylinder Area = 78.5 sq. in.
– Average Peak Firing Pressure for a GTL
• Approximately 825 PSI
– Force = PSI x Piston Area (sq. in.)
• 825 x 78.5 = 64762.5 pounds of force
– Average Elephant weight = 7700 lbs.
• 62287.5 / 7700 = 8 elephants
– Detonation could send pressures upwards of
1300 PSI or 102050 = 13.2 elephants
