English Dictionary

fuse plug

名詞

(aviation) A component of an aircraft wheel held in place by a metal alloy with a low melting point, such that, if the wheel is severely overheated (for instance, by heavy braking), pressure is released from the wheel and tire/tyre in a controlled manner rather than risking an explosion of the wheel assembly.

日本語の意味

航空機のホイールに組み込まれている部品で、低融点の金属合金で固定されている。ホイールが過熱（例えば、激しいブレーキによる）すると、ホイールやタイヤ内の過剰な圧力を安全に解放するための仕組みとして機能する。

After heavy braking, the crew discovered that a fuse plug in the wheel had melted, releasing pressure and preventing a tire blowout.

激しいブレーキングの後、乗務員は車輪内の溶断栓が溶けて圧力を逃がし、タイヤの破裂を防いだことに気づいた。

意味（1）

(aviation) A component of an aircraft wheel held in place by a metal alloy with a low melting point, such that, if the wheel is severely overheated (for instance, by heavy braking), pressure is released from the wheel and tire/tyre in a controlled manner rather than risking an explosion of the wheel assembly.

ACI's Hong Kong station manager was at a loss as to how best to proceed. Flight 103's brakes had been cooled with blowers, and the plane towed to its gate. It had three blown tires, one had burst on the runway when the aircraft's anti‑skid system failed and two had deflated when their red-hot brakes had overheated the tires and the fuse plugs had blown. The tire that had blown on the runway had disintegrated and punched two holes in the aircraft's undersurface. The holes were small, but they had to be fixed.

意味（2）

(civil engineering) A collapsible dam or levee designed to give way in extreme flood conditions in order to divert water away from more important water-control structures.
