  2. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    Centrifugal governors are used in many modern repeating watches to limit the speed of the striking train, so the repeater does not run too quickly. Another kind of centrifugal governor consists of a pair of masses on a spindle inside a cylinder, the masses or the cylinder being coated with pads, somewhat like a centrifugal clutch or a drum brake.

  3. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process. In the process industry, a standard set of symbols is used to prepare drawings of processes. The instrument symbols used in these drawings are generally based on International Society of Automation (ISA) Standard S5.1

    ISO 10628 Diagrams for the chemical and petrochemical industry specifies the classification, content, and representation of flow diagrams. It does not apply to electrical engineering diagrams.

  5. Governor (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)

    A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

    Example of pipe marking through colors and symbols (arrows) to indicated pipe contents (colors) and flow direction (arrows). Pipe marking on a natural gas pipe In the process industry , chemical industry , manufacturing industry , and other commercial and industrial contexts, pipe marking is used to identify the contents, properties and flow ...

  7. Gas centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_centrifuge

    Diagram of a gas centrifuge with countercurrent flow, used for separating isotopes of uranium. A gas centrifuge is a device that performs isotope separation of gases. A centrifuge relies on the principles of centrifugal force accelerating molecules so that particles of different masses are physically separated in a gradient along the radius of a rotating container.

  8. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    A gas cylinder is used to store gas or liquefied gas at pressures above normal atmospheric pressure. [2] In South Africa, a gas storage cylinder implies a refillable transportable container with a water capacity volume of up to 150 litres. Refillable transportable cylindrical containers from 150 to 3,000 litres water capacity are referred to as ...

  9. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Gas pressure regulator regulates the flow and pressure of a gas; Heart valve: regulates blood flow through the heart in many organisms; Hydrodynamic vortex valve: a passive flow control valve that uses hydrodynamic forces to regulate flow; Larner–Johnson Valve: needle control valve often in large sizes used in water supply systems
