wiping contact	Contact which picks up for a limited period of time and subsequently drops out again to the release state
X-ray test	A non-destructive material test that allows assessment of the quality of a material or weld
zero	The lowest value of the measured variable that a device is adjusted to measure
zero shift	The change of the output value, due to some influence, when the input variable is at the lower range-value. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the specified output span
zero-based conformity	The closeness with which the calibration curve of a device can be adjusted to approximate to the specified characteristic curve so that the maximum positive and negative deviation are equal and the lower range-value of both curves coincide
zero-based non-conformity	The maximum deviation of the actual characteristic (average of upscale and downscale readings) from a specified curve so positioned as to coincide with the actual characteristic at the lower range-value and to minimise the maximum deviation
