2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor ...

3. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

   A diving regulator or underwater diving regulator is a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of breathing gas for underwater diving.The most commonly recognised application is to reduce pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and deliver it to the diver, but there are also other types of gas pressure regulator used for diving applications.

4. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

   The valve is closed. The mechanism of diving regulators is the arrangement of components and function of gas pressure regulators used in the systems which supply breathing gases for underwater diving. Both free-flow and demand regulators use mechanical feedback of the downstream pressure to control the opening of a valve which controls gas flow ...

5. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to ...

6. Gas blending for scuba diving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending_for_scuba_diving

   Regulators supplying a controlled flow of oxygen and helium to a continuous blending system for trimix or nitrox. Gas blending for scuba diving (or gas mixing) is the filling of diving cylinders with non- air breathing gases such as nitrox, trimix and heliox. Use of these gases is generally intended to improve overall safety of the planned dive ...

7. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

   The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid speeds up as it flows through a constricted section (or choke) of a pipe. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi. The effect has various engineering applications, as the reduction in ...
