Total Indicated Reading. The full indicator reading observed when a dial indicator is in contact with the part surface during one full revolution of the part about its axis of rotation.
Total Indicated Runout refers to the practice of measuring printing cylinders, shafts, anilox rollers, etc., using a dial indicator to identify any variance. Measure variation around a cylinder surface at given locations. Readings are normally taken at the right, left and center of the cylinder, using a dial indicator mounted on a metal base under the cylinder. (Acceptable readings are 0.0005" for high quality printing.)
Total Indicator Reading is the total movement of a dial indicator for the deviation of a surface from it's theoretical perfect dimension. In drilling, it is an indication of the deviation of the cutting tool's centerline axis from it's theoretical true centerline.
The permissible perpendicular variation of relationship between the bearing surface or the top surface and the axis of the thread (A.k.a. runout or perpendicularity).
is the Total Indicated Runout of the motor shaft, measured .5in. from the face, or at end of the shaft if shorter, and represents the shaft's rotational circularity and straightness.
Transports internationaux routiers. International system that allows goods to be packed in a container under customs inspection at point of origin. The container can then pass across all national frontiers without being opened by customs officers.
Initials for the French term “Transports International Routiers”, the name given to international road service facilities where one truck crosses many frontiers carrying goods. For example, a TIR truck could load in England and the driver could stay with it perhaps as far as the Middle East, Turkey, etc. Special Carnets are available, as distinct from ATA Carnets.
International agreement to standardize the Customs sealing of road vehicles crossing international boundaries. This agreement does not apply to containers which must be approved under the Customs Convention on Containers. The term TIR however is still commonly used to denote the approved sealing on a container. (See International Transport of Goods Under Customs Seal. Conditions of Approval Publication VE 505 Published by DOT UK)
Temperature increase requirement. A measure of the loss in a catalyst’s activity; reactions invariably go faster at higher temperatures, and the TIR measures the increase in temperature to bring activity back to a previous level; it may also measure the increase of temperature per day or week to maintain activity.
