    Setback (#17) is a part of the drill floor (#21) where the stands of drill pipe are stood upright. It is typically made of a metal frame structure with large wooden beams situated within it. The wood helps to protect the end of the drill pipe.

  3. 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

  4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Hydraulic systems use high fluid pressure, such as the hydraulic actuators for bulldozers and backhoes. Their hydraulic fittings are designed and rated for much greater pressure than that experienced in general piping systems, and they are generally not compatible with those used in plumbing.

  5. Hydroforming - Wikipedia

    Then the pressure is released and punch retracted, hydraulic chamber lifted, and the process is complete. Among these techniques hydraulic bulge testing allows for an increased work hardening of sheet material by distinctive stretching operations and provides better shape accuracy for complex parts. Hence, by selecting proper material and the ...

    ~ 6 mm: 300 to 900 mm Hydraulic conductivity of clay [6] 10 −10 to 10 −12 m/s: 10 −9 to 10 −10 m/s Speed and ease of construction: Rapid, simple installation: Slow, delicate and complicated compaction works Installed cost: $0.05 to $0.10 per m 2: Highly variable (estimated range $0.07 to $0.30 per m 2) Experience

  7. Pillow-plate heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillow-plate_heat_exchanger

    The sides of the plates are sealed by seam welding, other than the connecting ports. Finally, the gap between the thin metal sheets is pressurized by a hydraulic fluid causing a plastic forming of the plates, which eventually leads to their characteristic wavy surface. Single embossed pillow plate section.

  8. Excavator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excavator

    Hydraulic excavators now perform tasks well beyond bucket excavation. With the advent of hydraulic-powered attachments such as a breaker , a cutter, a grapple or an auger ,a crusher and screening buckets [ 11 ] the excavator is frequently used in many applications other than excavation.

  9. Retaining wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

    As the setback of the wall increases, the size of the sliding wedge is reduced. This reduction lowers the pressure on the retaining wall. [4] The most important consideration in proper design and installation of retaining walls is to recognize and counteract the tendency of the retained material to move downslope due to gravity.
