A wet horizontal MPI machine is the most commonly used mass-production inspection machine. The machine has a head and tail stock where the part is placed to magnetize it. In between the head and tail stock is typically an induction coil, which is used to change the orientation of the magnetic field by 90° from the head stock.
External access point for fire sprinkler and dry standpipe at a building in San Francisco, US Antique wet standpipe preserved at Edison and Ford Winter Estates. A standpipe or riser is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position, or into bridges in a horizontal position, to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water ...
A fire pump usually refers to a pressure-increasing component of the water supply for fixed-place fire suppression systems such as fire sprinklers, standpipes, and foam systems. Fire pumps are also a critical component integrated into fire trucks and fire boats, and serve a similar purpose boosting water supplies for firefighting hose operations.
Test materials can be damaged if compatibility is not ensured. The operator or their supervisor should verify compatibility on the tested material, especially when considering the testing of plastic components and ceramics. The method is unsuitable for testing porous ceramics. Penetrant stains clothes and skin and must be treated with care
Standpipe (street), an external freestanding pipe to provide running water in areas with no other water supply; Standpipe water towers; Standpipe (plumbing), a vertical pipe attached to a p-trap for rapid high-volume wastewater drainage such as from washing machines; Standpipe piezometer, a device that monitors groundwater levels through a borehole
Application of the penetrant to a part in a ventilated test area. 2. Application of Penetrant: The penetrant is then applied to the surface of the item being tested. The penetrant is usually a brilliant coloured mobile fluid with high wetting capability. [1] The penetrant is allowed "dwell time" to soak into any flaws (generally 5 to 30 minutes).
[1] [2] Sprinkler systems installed by sprinkler fitters can include the underground supply as well as integrated overhead piping [ ru ] systems and standpipes . The fire suppression piping may contain water, air (in a dry system), antifreeze, gas or chemicals as in a hood system, or a mixture producing fire retardant foam .
In areas where the air or surface ground temperatures reach below freezing point for part or all of the year, some standpipes are equipped with a feature whereby the same mechanism that valves the water for the bib also uncovers a drainage hole (the 'weep hole') at the base of the pipe when the standpipe is closed, ensuring that the column of water drains into the ground rather than remaining ...
