The barb-like rings on the cylindrical piece allow for an easy push-connection of flexible-plastic or rubber tubing that is not so easily disconnected. Hose barbs are used in machine perfusion and chemistry laboratory equipment. Hose barb fittings are small curved, bent or T-shaped pipes, hoses or tubes with hose barbs on at least one side used ...
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 ...
These brass fittings for PEX tubing are very similar to, but not necessarily interchangeable with hose barbs. A barb (or hose barb), which connects flexible hose or tubing to pipes, typically has a male-threaded end which mates with female threads. The other end of the fitting has a single- or multi-barbed tube—a long tapered cone with ridges ...
Caretakers at a taxpayer-funded Long Island animal refuge blasted their star attraction, Honey the Bear, with a high-pressure hose to get the hobbled, elderly ursine to move, advocates say a new ...
Campanas pieces, which are created from medical-grade plastics before being custom-made to fit each animal, run around $500 for braces, and $1,000 for prosthetic limbs. While they usually have to ...
Such modern waterskins offer many features, such as detachable straw-hoses, valves, refill openings of various widths, various closures and handles, styles of covering or cases, and removable cases or carry pouches. A particular style, often called hydration pack, is distinguished by a flexible hose for convenient on-the-go drinking.
Retrorse barbs can be found on the callus, the lemmas, and the awns. The spikelets or spikelet clusters of foxtails are adapted for animal dispersal: The foxtails disarticulate easily, the barbs cause the foxtail to cling to fur, and movement of the animal causes the foxtail to burrow into the fur, since the barbs permit it to move only in the ...
A so-called "cathedral" mound produced by a termite colony. Structures built by non-human animals, often called animal architecture, [1] are common in many species. Examples of animal structures include termite mounds, ant hills, wasp and beehives, burrow complexes, beaver dams, elaborate nests of birds, and webs of spiders.
