[2] Motor type flow splitters change the ratios in flow based on the number of hydraulic motors that are connected to the main feed. The use of two hydraulic motors can form a 50/50 split in flow, with additional motors allowing for versatility in the ratio. [3] Displacement is a factor in the adjustment of these ratios.
Faucet is the most common term in the US, similar in use to "tap" in British English, e.g. "water faucet" (although the term "tap" is also used in the US). Spigot is used by professionals in the trade (such as plumbers), and typically refers to an outdoor fixture.
English: In a typical leaded bell-and-spigot joint, the spigot is inserted into the bell of another pipe, yarn or oakum is compressed into the space, then hot lead was poured and also worked into the joint. Installers would typically use a set of tools, with different sized heads, to make sure both the yarn and lead were properly worked into ...
A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect sections of pipe (designated by nominal size, with greater tolerances of variance) or tube (designated by actual size, with lower tolerance for variance), adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow. [1] [2] These fittings are ...
Example of a single industrial control loop; showing continuously modulated control of process flow. Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows:
In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.
A spigot (or "spile") extracting syrup from a maple tree.. Like many such older terms, the word spile has other local meanings. For example: A wooden stake or fence post.; A tapper, [5] an implement used to tap any sort of tree (e.g., for birch sap, maple syrup, rubber tapping, or palm wine from a toddy palm).
English: Diagram of a water distribution system. Inlet water goes through a pumping station. The water is delivered to the top of a water tank. Water pressure created by gravity and delivered to water mains. Water mains are connected to fire hydrants and service lines which are pipes that connect a water main to a building.
