2. Underground pneumatic boring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_pneumatic_boring

   A piercing tool uses compressed air to bore through the ground. Manufacturers have proprietary standards and control mechanisms. Compressed air is run to the piercing tool through a pneumatic hose. Additionally an oiler attachment is used to send oil along with the compressed air, similar to a jackhammer. Inside the piercing tool is a piston. A ...

3. Air line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_line

   An air line is a tube, or hose, that contains and carries a compressed air supply. In industrial usage, this may be used to inflate car or bicycle tyres or power tools worked by compressed air, for breathing apparatus in hazardous environments and to operate many other pneumatic systems.

4. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...

5. Air-line fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-line_fitting

   Pneumatic tool attached using a coupling. A coupled pair consists of a male nipple or plug and a female coupler or socket. One side is connected to a flexible supply hose; the other may be attached to a manifold, valve, tool, or another hose. A female coupler is used on the supply side, and a male nipple is used on the receiving side.

   Atlas Copco companies develop, manufacture, service, and rent industrial tools, air compressors (of which it is the world's leading producer), [8] construction and assembly systems. The Group operates in four areas: Compressor Technology, Vacuum Technology, Power Technology and Industrial Technology.

7. Pneumatics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatics

   Any compressed gas other than air is an asphyxiation hazard—including nitrogen, which makes up 78% of air. Compressed oxygen (approx. 21% of air) would not asphyxiate, but is not used in pneumatically-powered devices because it is a fire hazard, more expensive, and offers no performance advantage over air. Smaller or stand-alone systems can ...
