Ullage or headspace is the unfilled space in a container, particularly with a liquid. The word ullage comes from the Latin word oculus, used by the Romans...

begin to dry out, it can allow oxygen to enter the bottle, filling the ullage space and possibly causing the wine to spoil or oxidize. Excessive humidity...

ullage space of the opposite tank. The vehicle was able to transfer propellant through connecting pipes between opposite tanks by controlling ullage pressures...

in the barrel. Under this same traditional style of winemaking, a large ullage or air space would emerge in the barrel and oxidation took place. This gave...

first staged-combustion-cycle rocket engine, and also the first use of an ullage engine to allow a liquid-fuel rocket engine to start in space. Three successful...

oxygen concentration. A full LPG gas cylinder contains 86% liquid; the ullage volume will contain vapour at a pressure that varies with temperature. LPG...

open during flight when the ullage (empty space) pressure of the liquid hydrogen tank reaches 38 psi (260 kPa) or the ullage pressure of the liquid oxygen...

of the smaller-diameter body half.[citation needed] After capping, some ullage volume (airspace) remains in the finished capsule. Capsule endoscopy OROS...

infeasible at the time. The upper stages also used small solid-propellant ullage motors that helped to separate the stages during the launch, and to ensure...

regional or local cooperative. Ullage The space between the wine and the top of a wine bottle. As a wine ages, the space of ullage will increase as the wine...

extra payload capacity to the booster. It also eliminates the need for ullage motors, as the acceleration from the nearly spent stage keeps the propellants...

September 23. The bulkhead came apart at a pressure of 8 bar (115 psi) in ullage and 9 bar (130 psi) at base. SN7.2 was created to test thinner walls, and...

complex orbital insertions. The reaction control system (RCS) also provides ullage and consists of twenty hydrazine monopropellant engines located around the...

gallons. Ullage Also known as headspace, the unfilled space in a wine bottle, barrel, or tank. Derived from the French ouillage, the terms "ullage space"...

propulsion module attached, as the command and service module would have a dry weight of at least 26,300 pounds (11,900 kg), in addition to service propulsion...

tank onboard a vessel, typically used to determine its volume. See also Ullage. spanker A fore-and-aft or gaff-rigged sail on the aftmost mast of a square-rigged...

control authority is provided by cold gas thrusters fed with residual ullage gas. The interstage also has protruding hardpoints, located between grid...

11D-58S engine. The unit cost is $4 million. As of the early 1990s, the ullage rockets discarded just before the final burns by Block DM fourth stages...

previous Soviet planetary probes had been lost due to malfunctions of the ullage rockets (BOZ) on the Blok L stage, but an investigation found that the problem...
