  2. Water reducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_reducer

    Water reducers are special chemical products added to a concrete mixture before it is poured. They are from the same family of products as retarders . The first class of water reducers was the lignosulfonates which has been used since the 1930s.

  3. Superplasticizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superplasticizer

    It significantly reduces water content while enhancing concrete's workability, strength, and durability. Known for its cutting-edge technology, exceptional application prospects, and superior overall performance, PCE has revolutionized concrete admixtures.

  4. Low-flow fixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flow_fixtures

    A low-flow fixture is a water saving plumbing fixture designed to achieve water savings by having a lower flow rate of water or a smaller quantity per flush. Some of these low-flow fixtures are faucets, showerheads, and toilets.

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    For recreational vehicles with plumbing, a pressure regulator is required to reduce the pressure of an external water supply connected to the vehicle plumbing, as the supply may be a much higher elevation than the campground, and water pressure depends on the height of the water column. Without a pressure regulator, the intense pressure ...

  6. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    Some normal water use conditions may cause short episodes of discharge (this is why check one has a minimum passing value of relief +3. It is designed to handle the pressure fluctuations). In the case of the upstream check valve passing, the differential pressure (higher supply pressure compared with the lower chamber pressure) causes any flow ...

  7. Retarder (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(chemistry)

    A retarder is a chemical agent that slows down a chemical reaction.For example, retarders are used to slow the chemical reaction hardening of plastic materials such as wallboard, concrete, and adhesives.

  8. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

    Stops water hammering. Placed immediately after the discharge of a pump that is started fast into a pipe full of a long column of liquid. Reduces start up surge pressure. Placed immediately after a pump, which when caused to stop suddenly, enables a vacuum to form, which pulls the flow back towards the pump. Prevents an implosion bang.

  9. Faucet aerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faucet_aerator

    An aerator attached to a sink tap. A faucet aerator (or tap aerator) is often found at the tip of modern indoor water faucets.Aerators can simply be screwed onto the faucet head, creating a non-splashing stream and often delivering a mixture of water and air.
