  2. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Although they are usually used to attach pipe and fittings to mechanical supports in buildings, they do not connect the pipes. Fasteners commonly used with piping are a stud bolt [26] with nuts (usually fully threaded, with two heavy, hexagonal nuts); a machine bolt and nut; or a powder-actuated tool (PAT) fastener (usually a nail or threaded ...

  3. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

    The application of thermal pipe insulation introduces thermal resistance and reduces the heat flow. Thicknesses of thermal pipe insulation used for saving energy vary, but as a general rule, pipes operating at more-extreme temperatures exhibit a greater heat flow and larger thicknesses are applied due to the greater potential savings. [3]

  4. Cement-mortar lined ductile iron pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement-mortar_lined...

    Ductile Iron is commonly used in place of cast iron pipe for fluid distribution systems. The purpose of installing a cement/mortar lining to the interior wall of the pipe is to reduce the process of tuberculation inside the pipe network. The cement/mortar lining provides an area of high pH near the pipe wall and provides a barrier between the ...

  5. Plastic welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_welding

    Solvent welding is a common method in plastics fabrication and used by manufacturers of in-store displays, brochure holders, presentation cases and dust covers. Another popular use of solvents in the hobby segment is model building from injection molded kits for scale models of aircraft, ships and cars which predominantly use polystyrene plastic.

  6. Removable insulation blanket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_insulation_blanket

    Also used to prevent condensation from forming on pipes, known as pipe sweating, which can damage components and create a hazardous work environment. Removable insulation blankets for freeze prevention: used to prevent subfreezing temperatures from affecting an indoor or outdoor component or pipe. Freeze damage can be costly and time consuming ...

  7. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorinated_polyvinyl_chloride

    CPVC sprinkler pipe inside a firestop mock-up. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC, and can also withstand higher temperatures. Uses include hot and cold water delivery pipes and industrial liquid handling.

    The bed seems like a good idea. It's big, it's furry, and it's pretty darn cute. It looks like a dog's paw.But it's not great for small dogs, as the woman learned recently.

  9. Solvent bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_bonding

    Solvent bonding differs from adhesive bonding, because the solvent does not become a permanent addition to the joined substrate. [4] Solvent bonding differs from other plastic welding processes in that heating energy is generated by the chemical reaction between the solvent and thermoplastic, and cooling occurs during evaporation of the solvent ...
