Differential Pressure

In an orifice meter, the difference between the pressures on the upstream and downstream sides of the orifice; also describes the pressure drop across a filter that increases as the filter clogs. The value or magnitude of pressure measured as the absolute difference of the inlet pressure and outlet pressure. The difference in pressure between two points of a system, such as between the inlet and outlet of a pump.

Drill Pipe

Pipe used in the drilling of an oil or gas well. Drill pipe is the conduit between the wellhead motor and the drill bit. Drilling mud is pumped down the center of the pipe during drilling, to lubricate the drill bit and transmit the drilled core to the surface. Because of the high stress, torque and temperature associated with well drilling, drill pipe is a seamless product.

Leadsman's call before naming a sounding in fathoms that is not marked in lead line. Navigable channel bounded by shoal water. Applied toframes and stringers that have been widened, by extending plate between angle bars, to give additional strength.
