  2. AN thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN_thread

    A 37° flare type end fitting for flexible hose. The AN thread (also A-N) is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. It is a US military-derived specification that dates back to World War II and stems from a joint standard agreed upon by the Army Air Corps and Navy, hence AN.

  3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    bell adapters which are like mechanical joint adapters but contain a stainless steel backup ring to maintain a positive seal against the mating flange [9]: 347 flange adapters which attach to a polyethylene pipe with butt fusion to stiffen a junction and allow another flanged pipe or fitting to be bolted on [ 9 ] : 341

  4. Peristaltic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

    The biggest advantage with the hose pumps over the roller pumps is the high operating pressure of up to 16 bar. With rollers, max pressure can arrive up to 12 bar (170 psi) without any problem. If the high operating pressure is not required, a tubing pump is a better option than a hose pump if the pumped medium is not abrasive.

    Side view of a 1.5 to 2.5 inches (38 to 64 mm) adapter. National Hose thread (NH), also known as National Standard Thread (NST). It is the most common type of fire hose coupling used in the United States. The male and female straight (non-tapered) threads screw together and the connection is sealed with a gasket.

  6. Push-to-pull compression fittings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-to-pull_compression...

    A push-in compression coupling and tee.. Push-to-pull, push-to-connect, push-in, push-fit, or instant fittings are a type of easily removed compression fitting or quick connect fitting that allows an air (or water) line to be attached, nominally without the use of tools (a tool is still usually required for cutting tubing to length and removal).

  7. Hose clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_clamp

    The hose is then fit onto the barb, the clamp expanded again, slid onto the portion of the hose over the barb, then released, compressing the hose onto the barb. Clamps of this design are rarely used for high pressures or large hoses, as they would require unwieldy amounts of steel to generate enough clamping force, and be impossible to work ...

  8. Bionics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionics

    While the technologies that make bionic implants possible are developing gradually, a few successful bionic devices already exist, a well known one being the Australian-invented multi-channel cochlear implant (bionic ear), a device for deaf people. Since the bionic ear, many bionic devices have emerged and work is progressing on bionics ...

  9. Water thief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thief

    A water thief is a synthetic rubber fitting that attaches to an unthreaded faucet (American English) / tap (British English) on one end and a common garden hose on the other. It is commonly used to fill fresh water tanks in recreational vehicles when a threaded hose bib is not available.
