  2. Orifice plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orifice_plate

    Orifice plate showing vena contracta. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.

  3. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

    Instead, their function is part of the normal operation of the device, allowing for precise pressure-based control of particle application to a sample. In these devices, the rupture disc is designed to fail within an optimal range of gas pressure that has been empirically associated with successful particle integration into tissue or cell culture.

  4. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_press_tools

    Top Plate: It is used to hold top half of the press tool with press slide. It is also called Bolster Plate. Punch Back Plate : This plate prevents the hardened punches penetrating into top plate. It is also called Pressure Plate or Backup plate. Punch Holder: This plate is used to accommodate the punches of press tool.

  5. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    Venturi tubes are more expensive to construct than simple orifice plates, and both function on the same basic principle. However, for any given differential pressure, orifice plates cause significantly more permanent energy loss. [2]

  6. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

    The operating pressure reaches, say, 200 bar (20 MPa or 2900 psi) and the swash plate is driven towards zero angle (piston stroke nearly zero) and with the inherent leaks in the system allows the pump to stabilize at the delivery volume that maintains the set pressure. As demand increases the swash plate is moved to a greater angle, piston ...

  7. Plate heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_heat_exchanger

    The plate geometry is one of the most important factor in heat transfer and pressure drop in plate heat exchangers, however such a feature is not accurately prescribed. In the corrugated plate heat exchangers, because of narrow path between the plates, there is a large pressure capacity and the flow becomes turbulent along the path.

  8. Pipe support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_support

    A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe proper, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation.

  9. Swashplate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate

    The fixed plate is shown in gold and six shafts each take a reciprocating motion from points on the gold plate. The shafts might be connected to pistons in cylinders. Note the power may be coming from the shaft to drive the pistons as in a pump, or from the pistons to drive the shaft rotation as in an engine
