  2. National pipe thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

    NPT is defined by ANSI/ASME standard B1.20.1. [ 4 ] The taper rate for all NPT threads is 1 inch of diameter in 16 inches of length ( 3 ⁄ 4 inch per foot or 62.5 millimeters per meter) measured by the change of diameter (of the pipe thread) over distance of thread.

  4. Nominal Pipe Size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size

    Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

  5. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Piping or tubing is usually inserted into fittings to make connections. Connectors are assigned a gender, abbreviated M or F. An example of this is a "3 ⁄ 4-inch female adapter NPT", which would have a corresponding male connection of the same size and thread standard (in this case also NPT).

  6. Schrader valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

    The original Schrader valve design was invented in 1891 and patented in the United States in 1893. [2] The Schrader valve consists of a valve stem into which a valve core is threaded. The valve core is a poppet valve assisted by a spring. A small rubber seal located on the core keeps the fluid from escaping through the threads.

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppet_valve

    Oscillating poppet valve on one of Chapelon's rebuilt 4-6-2 locomotives. Poppet valves have been used on steam locomotives, often in conjunction with Lentz or Caprotti valve gear. British examples include: LNER Class B12; LNER Class D49; LNER Class P2; LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0; BR standard class 5; BR standard class 8 71000 Duke of Gloucester.

  9. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

    Add the two angles and take the cosine of their sum; subtract 1 from that cosine and multiply the result by -50. As built the Pennsylvania's I1s 2-10-0 had lap 2 inches, lead 1/4 inch and valve travel 6 inches in full gear. In full gear the two angles are 48.19 deg and 41.41 deg and the maximum cutoff comes out 49.65% of the piston stroke.
