  2. Double dump valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dump_valve

    Double dump valves have two trap-door flap plates which open and close on an alternating cycle. The top gate opens to allow collected material to drop through onto the bottom gate. The top gate then re-closes to prevent air leakage above the valve. The bottom gate then opens to allow material to pass completely through the valve.

  3. Petersham Hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersham_Hole

    The lane is prone to tidal flooding and the outfall is protected by a flap valve. The damage proved to be sufficiently extensive to justify a temporary repair and letting a contract for permanent replacement of a long section. In February 1979, a further collapse occurred 100 metres upstream to the south, in the busy A307 carriageway.

    The primary benefit of aortography is the ability to precisely determine the location of injury for surgical planning. [4] Another imaging modality is CT angiogram which has a sensitivity of 100%. [4] A CT angiogram relies on timing the CT scan after a bolus of IV contrast is administered from a peripheral IV site.

  8. Trickle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_valve

    Trickle valves can be used only on systems operating under negative pressure. The vacuum created inside the dust collector holds the valve closed, allowing a head of material to build up above the trickle valve. Once the pressure of the material equals the negative pressure of the system, the valve is forced open and a trickle of material will ...
