or fibres.
missile has the meaning given by subsections (3) and (4).
monofilament means the smallest increment of a fibre.

Note   Monofilaments are usually only several micrometres in diameter.
MWD means measurement while drilling.
pressure transducer means a device that converts pressure measurements into electrical signals.
remote manipulator means a device capable of translating the actions of the person operating the device to a remote operating arm and terminal fixture.

Note   Remote manipulators can be of a master/slave type or operated by a joystick or keypad.
repeatability has the same meaning as in IEEE standard 528‑2001.

Note   The IEEE standard explains that repeatability is the level of similarity between measurements of the same variable under the same operating conditions when changes in conditions or non‑operating periods occur between measurements.
roving means a bundle of strands arranged approximately parallel with each other.

Note   A roving typically consists of between 12 and 120 strands.
scale factor means the ratio of change in output to a change in the input intended to be measured.

Note    Scale factor is generally evaluated as the slope of the straight line that can be fitted by the method of least squares to input‑output data obtained by varying the input cyclically over the input range.
spacecraft means a satellite or space probe, whether active or passive.
specific modulus means Young's modulus in pascals, equivalent to N/m² divided by specific weight in N/m³, measured at a temperature of (296 ± 2) K ((23 ± 2) C) and a relative humidity of (50 ± 5)%.
specific tensile strength means ultimate tensile strength in pascals, equivalent to N/m² divided by specific weight in N/m³, measured at a temperature of (296 ± 2) K ((23 ± 2) C) and a relative humidity of (50 ± 5)%.
specified environment means a test environment meeting conditions described in one of the following paragraphs:
 (a) the test environment requires input of random vibration with an overall magnitude of 7.7 g rms in the first half hour and a total test duration of 1½ hours per axis in each of the three perpendicular axes, and which also meets the following requirements:
 (i) a constant power spectral density value of 0.04 g²/Hz over a frequency interval of 15 to 1 000 Hz;
 (ii) the power spectral density attenuates with frequency from 0.04 g²/Hz to 0.01 g²/Hz over a frequency interval from 1 000 to 2 000 Hz;
 (b) the test environment requires a roll and yaw rate equal to or greater than +2.62 radian (150);
 (c) the test environment complies with a national standard equivalent to paragraph (a) or (b).
strand means a bundle of monofilaments arranged approximately parallel with each other.

Note   A strand typically consists
