  2. Automotive paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint

    Robotic arm applying paint on car parts. Automotive paint is paint used on automobiles for both protective and decorative purposes. [1] [2] Water-based acrylic polyurethane enamel paint is currently the most widely used paint for reasons including reducing paint's environmental impact. Modern automobile paint is applied in several layers, with ...

  3. Storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_tank

    Tanks built below ground level are sometimes used and referred to as underground storage tanks (USTs). Reservoirs can be covered, in which case they may be called covered or underground storage tanks or reservoirs. Covered water tanks are common in urban areas. Tanks can be mounted on a lorry or an articulated lorry trailer.

  4. Water tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tank

    An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...

    The Home Depot often fielded a Kaboom-themed car for Joey Logano and Tony Stewart during their tenures with Joe Gibbs Racing. Lowe's fields a "Power of Pride" car with the USO as a benefactor. Dale Jarrett raced a "reverse" paint scheme in 1999 where his entire car's colour scheme was reversed for breast cancer research. Cartoon Characters

  6. Volume solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_solid

    This is an important concept when using paint industrially to calculate the cost of painting. [1] It can be said that it is the real volume of paint. Here is the formula by which one can calculate the volume solid of paint, (Total sum by volume of each solid ingredient in paint x 100%)/ Total sum by volume of each ingredient in paint.

  7. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    When the car is too low, the height corrector valve opens to allow more fluid into the suspension cylinder (e.g., the car is loaded). When the car is too high (e.g. after unloading) fluid is returned to the system reservoir via low-pressure return lines. Height correctors act with some delay in order not to correct regular suspension movements.

  8. Gas holder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder

    Besides storing the gas, the tank's design serves to establish the pressure of the gas system. With telescoping (multiple-lift) tanks, the innermost tank has an approximately 1 ft × 2 ft (30 cm × 61 cm) lip around the outside of the bottom edge, called a cup, which picks up water as it rises above the reservoir water level.

  9. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    The diaphragm or bladder may itself exert a pressure on the water, but it is usually small and will be neglected in the following discussion. Case 1 is an empty tank at the charging pressure P c (gauge). The total volume of the tank is V t. Case 2 is a tank in use, with the air pressure at pressure P (gauge) and a water volume of V
