horizontal direction vs horizontal directions

Both 'horizontal direction' and 'horizontal directions' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Horizontal direction' refers to a single direction along the horizontal axis, while 'horizontal directions' refers to multiple directions along the horizontal axis.

horizontal direction

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to refer to a single direction along the horizontal axis.

Examples:

  • Please move the lever in a horizontal direction.
  • The arrow points in a horizontal direction.
  • for the horizontal direction (Annex IV),
  • The internal design of the lamp shall be such that stray light images and reflections are only located above the filament itself seen from the horizontal direction. (View A as indicated in Figure 1 on sheet H8/1).
  • 1x2,1x1,1x1 This is similar to (2x1,1x1,1x1), but the chroma sampling is in the horizontal direction rather than the vertical direction; as if someone rotated an image.
  • in the horizontal direction and directed to the front of the vehicle;
  • In addition, for red side-marker lamp, in the angular field from 60º to 90º in horizontal direction and ± 20º in vertical direction towards the front of the vehicle, the maximum intensity is limited to 0,25 cd.
  • This angle is the angle between the brush width direction, which is normally horizontal, and the horizontal direction, counter-clock-wise. When this value increases, the brush width turns counter-clock-wise (0º to 180º).
  • on front or rear position lights of which the visibility angles are asymmetrical with regard to the reference axis in a horizontal direction, an arrow pointing towards the side on which the photometric specifications are met up to an angle of 80º H;
  • When attaching the standard anchorage plate to the anchorage points A and B or B0 the plates shall be mounted with the bolt in the transverse horizontal direction with the angled surface facing inboard and shall be free to rotate about the axis
  • The system is technically capable of generating data of a geometric resolution of 5 metres or less in at least one horizontal direction in the 8-12 microns spectral range (thermal infrared).
  • Extension of the ramp in the horizontal direction shall be protected by a safety device.
  • The furthest projecting part, in the case of a gear lever, is that part of the grip or knob first contacted by a vertical transverse plane moved in a longitudinal, horizontal direction.
  • The sponge shall be wiped over each sampling site for a total of approximately 10 times in the vertical and 10 times in the horizontal direction.
  • The displacement of the dummy's head in the vertical and horizontal direction of the tests with all Q-dummies necessary for the given i-Size indication for at least the first 300 ms;
  • Visible signs of penetration means penetration of the clay by the abdominal insert (under pressure from the restraint) but not bending of the clay without compression in a horizontal direction as for instance is brought about by simple bending of the spine.
  • Since this massive Higgs sits along the horizontal direction in this diagram, the photons of electromagnetism remain massless and interact with electric charge along the vertical direction in this charge space.

Alternatives:

  • horizontal orientation
  • horizontal alignment
  • horizontal position
  • horizontal bearing
  • horizontal course

horizontal directions

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to refer to multiple directions along the horizontal axis.

Examples:

  • The map shows the horizontal directions of the roads.
  • She gave me several horizontal directions to follow.
  • That is to say, if we can make the basic technology of one or two things work, it will be applicable to a very, very large variety of human conditions, and hence, extendable in both vertical and horizontal directions.
  • for the horizontal direction (Annex IV),
  • Extension of the ramp in the horizontal direction shall be protected by a safety device.
  • The system is technically capable of generating data of a geometric resolution of 5 metres or less in at least one horizontal direction in the 8-12 microns spectral range (thermal infrared).
  • The internal design of the lamp shall be such that stray light images and reflections are only located above the filament itself seen from the horizontal direction. (View A as indicated in Figure 1 on sheet H8/1).

  • The furthest projecting part, in the case of a gear lever, is that part of the grip or knob first contacted by a vertical transverse plane moved in a longitudinal, horizontal direction.
  • in the horizontal direction and directed to the front of the vehicle;
  • The sponge shall be wiped over each sampling site for a total of approximately 10 times in the vertical and 10 times in the horizontal direction.

  • Visible signs of penetration means penetration of the clay by the abdominal insert (under pressure from the restraint) but not bending of the clay without compression in a horizontal direction as for instance is brought about by simple bending of the spine.
  • The test loads shall be applied in horizontal longitudinal direction, in relation to the vehicle.
  • on front or rear position lights of which the visibility angles are asymmetrical with regard to the reference axis in a horizontal direction, an arrow pointing towards the side on which the photometric specifications are met up to an angle of 80º H;
  • That's the Horizontal or Vertical direction of waves.
  • You can set fractal spreading between a minimum and a maximum, in the horizontal and/or vertical directions. Values are from -3.0 to 3.0.
  • Trolley booms shall be mounted so that they can turn in both horizontal and vertical directions.
  • When attaching the standard anchorage plate to the anchorage points A and B or B0 the plates shall be mounted with the bolt in the transverse horizontal direction with the angled surface facing inboard and shall be free to rotate about the axis
