The low-pressure chamber is an inexpensive pressure vessel for use in soil-moisture and water-retention analyses.
Pressure hose connection: The pressure hose connection is a quick-connect fitting used to connect the pressurized air supply hose to the pressure chamber.
Pressure can also be released by turning the regulator counter-clockwise, reducing the pressure in the system, and by pulling the ring on the safety relief valve on the low-pressure chamber lid.

 U.S. Patent: 6024424 - Braking device - February 15, 2000
The closing pressure chamber is separated from the relief circuit, and the pressure in the closing pressure chamber is independent of the pressure in the relief circuit.
Because the closing chamber is demarcated from the relief circuit in the fluid-tight manner, the closing chamber is not influenced either by the fluid pressure of the upstream side of the relief circuit.
According to the present invention, the valve closing pressure receiving portion (the end of the rod portion 22a) receiving the fluid pressure in the direction of closing the valve of the valve element is exposed in the valve closing chamber (the third chamber 27) which is separated in the fluid-tight manner from the relief circuit.

 U.S. Patent: 5664552 - Gas pressure accumulating and supplying device for use in model guns - September 9, 1997
A gas pressure accumulating and supplying device for use in model guns according to claim 1, wherein said case member is held in a grip provided in a body of a model gun which uses gas pressure for shooting a sham bullet so as to form said model gun together with said body.
The gas pressure supplied from the pressure accumulating chamber through the gas pressure to the pressure chamber is caused to act on the sham bullet put in the bullet holding chamber so as to shoot the sham bullet in response to the movement of a trigger provided in the body of the model gun.
The gas controlling structure is operative to lead gas pressure to the bullet holding chamber positioned just at the back of the barrel 2 and the pressure chamber 9 formed in the movable member, respectively, in response to the magnitude of the gas pressure acting on the gas controlling structure.

 Continuous intracellular recording from mammalian neurons exposed to hyperbaric helium, oxygen, or air -- Dean and ...
Two major obstacles in these earlier studies of the mCNS were the inaccessibility of the microelectrode once the pressure chamber was sealed, which hindered replacement of a broken or plugged microelectrode, and mechanical disturbances of the tissue slice and microelectrode that occurred when sealing the hyperbaric chamber or while compressing or decompressing the chamber (33-35).
Our pressure chamber most closely resembles two previous horizontal chambers (11, 35); however, it differs primarily in the style of closure, the equipment sled that carries the brain slice chamber and microdrives, and the design of the high-pressure sample cylinders that are used for studies of CNS oxygen toxicity (29).
The pressure containment vessel, upon completion, was inspected for structural integrity, hydrostatically-pressure tested, and certified by the appropriate authority to insure the safety of the operator and avoid structural damage to the chamber.

 The Pressure Chamber, a.k.a. "The Bomb"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
There are different types of pressure chambers, some using a tank of high pressure gas, some using a hand-pump, but all work on the same basic principle and in most cases the operation and use of the different types of pressure chambers is identical.
In simplest terms, the pressure chamber can be thought of as measuring the "blood pressure" of a plant, except for plants it is water rather than blood, and the water is not pumped by a heart using pressure, but rather pulled with a suction force as water evaporates from the leaves.
Simply put, the pressure chamber [63K] is just a device for applying air pressure to a leaf (or small shoot), where most of the leaf is inside the chamber but a small part of the leaf stem (the petiole) is exposed to the outside of the chamber through a seal.

 In-hole rock drilling machine with a hydraulic impact motor - Patent 5715897   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A control valve is arranged to pressurize a drive chamber with the hydraulic fluid to drive the piston hammer forwardly to strike the drill bit, and to then depressurize the drive chamber to allow the return stroke of the piston hammer.
The return stroke of the piston hammer 24 is caused by depressurization of the rear drive chamber 26, allowing a second pressure chamber or front drive chamber 34, that is preferably continuously pressurized, to generate the return stroke of the piston hammer 24.
This pressure cannot be so high that it jeopardizes the spool valve 40 staying stably in its forward position since the row of large holes 50 in the valve 40 is close to the annular chamber 46.

The Chamber Pressure that a rocket motor develops is of crucial importance with regard to the successful operation of a rocket motor.
Intuitively, the pressure buildup is a result of the combustion of the propellant grain, whereby the gases produced hasten to escape through the nozzle throat.
The variation of chamber pressure during the steady-state burning phase is due mainly to variation of grain geometry (burning surface area) with associated burn rate variation.

 Fuel pump having a pressure chamber vented via a ball valve to the fuel tank - Patent 4940397   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The connecting pipe is connected to a mixture-former and the pressure chamber has in its upper region a ball valve with a return line which leads to a fuel tank.
These deficiencies no longer occur in the pump of the invention, since its pressure chamber is used as a gas separator from which the fuel vapor which forms is returned directly to the fuel tank via a ball valve and a return line.
A working chamber 8 is formed between a wall 7 of the cover 2 and the diaphragm 3 and chamber 8 is in communication with a pressure chamber 10 via a pressure valve 9 and with a fuel tank (not shown) via a suction valve 11, a suction connection 12 and a line 13.

 Pump-Up Pressure Chamber Instrument
The Pump-Up Pressure Chamber is different from the conventional gas chamber in that it does not require a source of compressed gas such as nitrogen.
Simply put, the pressure chamber is just a device for applying air pressure to a leaf (or small shoot), where most of the leaf is inside the chamber but a small part of the leaf stem (the petiole) is exposed to the outside of the chamber through a seal.
The amount of pressure that it takes to cause water to appear at the cut surface of the petiole tells you how much tension the leaf is experiencing on its water: a high value of pressure means a high value of tension and a high degree of water stress.

 Positive air pressure chamber started with patients quickly after surgery
Cutuk described the pressure chamber and a study determining its safety Sunday, April 3, at Experimental Biology 2005 in San Diego.
Air pressure is changed by adding air in (positive air pressure) or releasing it out (negative air pressure), using the exhaust port of a common vacuum cleaner.
It's possible to adjust the positive air pressure to provide so much buoyancy that weight-bearing on the treadmill is only 5 or 10 percent of the patient's actual weight or, in the case of the lightest patients, the sensation that they are actually floating over the treadmill.

 The SSME (Henry Spencer; Bruce Dunn)
Not only are the turbopumps running at a massively higher stresses, the chamber is at about 7 times the pressure, increasing the amount of heat per unit wall area which needs to be dealt with.
It is chamber pressure, not thrust or size which makes an engine difficult to build.
In turn, it is the SSTO requirement for the last bit of Isp and the requirement for operation in both the atmosphere and in space which drive the use of high chamber pressure engines.
