An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.
A pressure washer is used to remove old paint from a boat. Patio flagstones being pressure washed using a rotary nozzle. Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces.
A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is a V-shaped mark or symbol, often inverted.The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology).
An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...
[c] These are supplementary pumps and do not replace the main, mechanical, oil pump. Electric pump as a main engine pump again will require big electric motors and it may be simply cheaper to drive directly from the engine. For e.g. BMW S65 engine's oil pump delivers ca. 45 LPM (Litres Per Minute) of oil at 5.5 bar pressure. [5]
A spiral pump, sometimes called a Wirz pump or incorrectly Wirtz pump, is a low lift pump which is composed of a long piece of metal plating, which is wound into a coil and sealed at the top and back extremities so as to resemble a cylinder. The outer cavity serves as the inlet, while the inner (partial) tube serves as the outlet.

This type of washer is especially effective as a lock washer when used with a soft substrate, such as aluminium or plastic, [8] and can resist rotation more than a plain washer on hard surfaces, as the tension between washer and the surface is applied over a much smaller area (the teeth). There are four types: internal, external, combination ...
