A leaky feeder is a communications system used in underground mines and inside tunnels. [1] Manufacturers and cabling professionals use the term " radiating cable " [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ better source needed ] [ 4 ] as this implies that the cable is designed to radiate: something that a typical coaxial cable is generally not intended to do.
Galvanized rigid conduit (GRC) is galvanized steel tubing, with a tubing wall that is thick enough to allow it to be threaded. Its common applications are in commercial and industrial construction. [1] It is designed to protect wire and connectors. Intermediate metal conduit (IMC) is a steel tubing heavier than EMT but lighter than RMC. It may ...
A lattice girder, like any girder, primarily resists bending. The component sections may typically include metal beams, channel and angle sections, with the lacing elements either metal plate strips, or angle sections. The lacing elements are typically attached using either hot rivets or threaded locator bolts.
Alligator clip A crocodile clip manufactured by Mueller Electric. This device is a variation of Dusinberre's original crocodile clip design Crocodile clips, also called automotive clips, on a set of jumper cables Three crocodile clips: a bare standard-sized clip; a miniature clip in a yellow plastic boot; a large red Square D multi-function clip
A digital clamp meter A multimeter with built-in clamp. Pushing the large button at the bottom opens the lower jaw of the clamp, allowing the clamp to be placed around a conductor. An electrical meter with integral AC current clamp is known as a clamp meter, clamp-on ammeter, tong tester, or colloquially as an amp clamp.
A riser clamp is a type of hardware used by mechanical building trades for pipe support in vertical runs of piping (risers) at each floor level. The devices are placed around the pipe, and integral fasteners are then tightened to clamp them onto the pipe.
[2] Some codes require a bonding jumper to be pulled into non-metallic conduit or in electrical metallic tubing that may be exposed to corrosion or mechanical damage. In North American electrical codes, an important bonding jumper is found in main electrical panels, where the system neutral conductor is connected to earth ground.
A pipe clamp is a type of clamp often employed in piping, woodworking, and cabinet shops. Pipe clamps for woodwork or cabinet shops are usually composed of commercially manufactured clamp heads or "jaws" and a length of common threaded pipe. [1] [2] The capacity of the clamp is determined by the length of the pipe used.
