n: an instrument for measuring wind speed in the atmosphere. The most common types are cup, vane, and hot-wire anemometers.

abbr: atmosphere.

n: See atmosphere degasser.

(atm) n: a unit of pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 14.7 pounds per square inch (101.325 kilopascals)

n: The knockout drum that removes the gas invading into the drilling fluid inatmosphere pressure.

n pi: total pressure at a depth underwater, expressed as multiples of normal atmospheric pressure.

n: the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere. At sea level, the pressure is approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (101.325 kilopascals),often referred to as 1 atmosphere. Also called barometric pressure.

pressure in atmospheres, approx 14.7 psia.

n: an uncontrolled flow of gas, oil, or other well fluids into the atmosphere. A blowout, or gusher, occurs when formation pressure exceeds the pressure applied to it by the column of drilling fluid. A kick warns of an impending blowout. See kick.

an uncontrolled release of fluids from a well.

n: the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. The boiling point of water is 212ﾰF or 100ﾰC at atmospheric pressure (14.7 pounds per square inch gauge or 101.325 kilopascals).

the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on it by the surrounding atmosphere.
