Pressure measurement. Psia (pounds per square inch absolute) measures actual pressure with no allowance for atmospheric pressure. Psig (pounds per square inch gauge) measures pressure with the gauge set to zero (0) at atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia). In other words psig = psia – 14.7. 壓力測量。Psia（絕對磅/平方英寸）測量實際壓力，不考慮大氣壓力。Psig（磅/平方英寸表壓）在大氣壓（14.7 psia）下，將表壓設置為零（0）時測量壓力。換句話說，psig=psia–14.7。 |
| Pulley | 帶輪 |
A free or driven wheel on a shaft with an appropriately shaped rim to carry a flat belt, vee belt, notched belt, rope, or chain. Used to transmit power or motion. 軸上的自由輪或從動輪，具有適當形狀的輪緣，以承載平皮帶、V形皮帶、槽口皮帶、繩索或鏈條。用于傳遞動力或運動。 |
| Pulse | 脈沖 |
An increase or decrease in the magnitude of a physical quantity, such as pressure, voltage, or force, with a time scale short compared with other time scales in a process, after which there is a return to the original level. 物理量的大小的增加或減少，如壓力、電壓或力，與過程中的其他時間尺度相比，時間尺度較短，之后返回到原始水平。 |
| Pump | 泵 |
A machine designed to cause a liquid, gas, vapour, or slurry to flow due to the reciprocating motion of pistons, rotation of vanes, or rotation of an impeller. 通過活塞的往復運動、葉片的旋轉或葉輪的旋轉而使液體、氣體、蒸汽或泥漿流動的機器。 |
| Punch | 沖床 |
1. A hand tool with a sharp point, used to mark the position of a hole centre in a workpiece prior to drilling. 2. A flat-ended tool with sharp edges, used to shear out a hole in a plate that is supported underneath on a die having a slightly larger same-shaped orifice. 1.一種帶有尖頭的手動工具，用于在鉆孔前標記工件中孔中心的位置。2.一種具有銳邊的平頭工具，用于剪切板上的孔，該板支撐在具有稍大相同形狀孔口的模具下方。 |
| Push rod | 推桿 |
A rod which opens and closes a valve via a valve rocker in an overhead-valve piston engine. The rod is actuated by a camshaft located in the crankcase. 在頂置氣門活塞發動機中，通過氣門搖臂打開和關閉氣門的桿。連桿由曲軸箱中的凸輪軸驅動。 |
