  2. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

    A traditional hydraulic ram has only two moving parts, a spring or weight loaded "waste" valve sometimes known as the "clack" valve and a "delivery" check valve, making it cheap to build, easy to maintain, and very reliable. Priestly's Hydraulic Ram, described in detail in the 1947 Encyclopedia Britannica, has no moving parts. [9]

  3. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

    A typical subsea deepwater blowout preventer system includes components such as electrical and hydraulic lines, control pods, hydraulic accumulators, test valve, kill and choke lines and valves, riser joint, hydraulic connectors, and a support frame. Two categories of blowout preventer are most prevalent: ram and annular. BOP stacks frequently ...

  4. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    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: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  5. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    When a valve with a volumetric flow rate Q is closed, an excess pressure ΔP is created upstream of the valve, whose value is given by the Joukowsky equation: =. In this expression: [31] ΔP is the overpressurization in Pa; Q is the volumetric flow in m 3 /s; Z is the hydraulic impedance, expressed in kg/m 4 /s.

  6. French pressure cell press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_pressure_cell_press

    The press uses an external hydraulic pump to drive a piston within a larger cylinder that contains the liquid sample. The highly pressurized sample is then squeezed past a needle valve. As the sample passes through the valve, the fluid experiences shear stress and decompression, causing cellular disruption.

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  8. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

    This article lists different types of pump and provides a comparison of certain key design features. Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for.

  9. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them. Automatic control valves include pressure reducing ...
