2. Water level (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_level_(device)

   It is used to determine the apparent inclination of an object or surface and for matching water level elevations at locations that are too far apart for a spirit level to span. The simplest water level is a section of clear tubing, partially filled with water. Water is easily procured for use, and easily discarded after use.

3. Sight glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_glass

   Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

4. Topographic Abney level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_Abney_Level

   In 1914 and 1915, the Forestry Quarterly published a series of articles on the use of the Abney level. [6] [7] [8] These tutorial articles remain useful today, but the primary reference for usage is the 1927 Abney Level Handbook. [3] The Abney level is typically used at the eye height of the surveyor, either hand-held or mounted on a staff at ...

5. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

   Measuring hydraulic head in an artesian aquifer, where the water level is above the ground surface. Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum. [1] [2] It is usually measured as a liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance (or bottom) of a piezometer.

6. Tygon tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tygon_Tubing

   Tygon LFL (Long Flex Life) pump tubing is non-toxic clear tubing with broad chemical resistance. [ citation needed ] It is often used in product filtration and fermentation and surfactant delivery. Tygon 2275 High Purity Tubing is a plasticizer-free material that is often used in sterile filling and dispensing systems and diagnostic equipment.

7. Tube (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(fluid_conveyance)

   A tube, or tubing, is a long hollow cylinder used for moving fluids (liquids or gases) or to protect electrical or optical cables and wires. The terms " pipe " and "tube" are almost interchangeable, although minor distinctions exist — generally, a tube has tighter engineering requirements than a pipe.

8. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   A specialized flaring tool is used to enlarge tubing into a 45º tapered bell shape matching the projecting shape of the flare fitting. [22]: 82 The flare nut, which had previously been installed over the tubing, is then tightened over the fitting to force the tapered surfaces tightly together. Flare connectors are typically brass or plastic ...

9. Tubing (recreation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubing_(recreation)

   Tubing, also known as inner tubing, bumper tubing, towed tubing, biscuiting (in New Zealand), or kite tubing, is a recreational activity where an individual rides on top of an inner tube, either on water, snow, or through the air. The tubes themselves are also known as "donuts" or "biscuits" due to their shape.
