Deutsch: Reibahle / Español: Escariado / Français: Alêsoir / Italiano: Alesatore
A reamer is a type of rotary cutting tool used in metalworking. Precision reamers are designed to enlarge the size of a previously formed hole by a small amount but with a high degree of accuracy to leave smooth sides. There are also non-precision reamers which are used for more basic enlargement of holes or for removing burrs. The process of enlarging the hole is called reaming.
Deutsch: Ressource / Español: Recurso / Português: Recurso / Français: Ressource / Italiano: Risorsa /
Español: Recurso
A resource is a source or supply from which benefit is produced. Typically resources are materials, money, services, staff, or other assets that are transformed to produce benefit and in the process may be consumed or made unavailable. Benefits of resource utilization may include increased wealth, meeting needs or wants, proper functioning of a system, or enhanced well being.
Deutsch: Widerstand / Português: Resistance / Français: Rêsistance
In the industrial and industry context, "resistance" refers to the opposition or hindrance to the flow of electrical current, heat, or fluid through a material or substance. Resistance is a fundamental property of many materials and can have important implications for the performance, safety, and efficiency of industrial and manufacturing operations.
Deutsch: Seil / Español: Cuerda / Português: Corda / Français: Corde / Italiano: Corda
A rope is a linear collection of plies, yarns or strands which are twisted or braided together in order to combine them into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have tensile strength and so can be used for dragging and lifting, but are far too flexible to provide compressive strength. As a result, they cannot be used for pushing or similar compressive applications. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, line, string, and twine.
Deutsch: Risiko / Español: Riesgo / Português: Cálculo de risco / Français: Risque / Italiano: Rischio
Risk is the potential of loss (an undesirable outcome, however not necessarily so) resulting from a given action, activity and/or inaction. The notion implies that a choice having an influence on the outcome sometimes exists (or existed). Potential losses themselves may also be called "risks". Any human endeavor carries some risk, but some are much riskier than others.
Deutsch: Raffination / Español: Refinación / Português: Refino / Français: Raffinage / Italiano: Raffinazione
, search
Refining is the process of purification of a substance or a form. The term is usually used of a natural resource that is almost in a usable form, but which is more useful in its pure form. For instance, most types of natural petroleum will burn straight from the ground, but it will burn poorly and quickly clog an engine with residues and by-products.
Deutsch: Schiene / Español: Riel / Português: Trilho / Français: Rail / Italiano: Binario /
In the industrial or industry context, "rail" refers to a horizontal bar, typically made of metal, that is used to support, guide, and constrain motion. Rails are commonly used in transportation, manufacturing, and other industrial applications.
Deutsch: Hörfunk / Español: Radiocomunicación / Português: Rádio (comunicação) / Français: Radiodiffusion / Italiano: Emittente radiofonica
Radio is the wireless transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic radiation of a frequency significantly below that of visible light, in the radio frequency range, from about 30 kHz to 300 GHz. These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
