2. Bathtub curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve

   The bathtub curve is a particular shape of a failure rate graph. This graph is used in reliability engineering and deterioration modeling. The 'bathtub' refers to the shape of a line that curves up at both ends, similar in shape to a bathtub. The bathtub curve has 3 regions: The first region has a decreasing failure rate due to early failures.

3. Butterworth cover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterworth_Cover

   Holes on the edges of the plate fit over these bolts and the cover is fastened down with nuts or dogs. Vapor accidents can occur when pressure builds up in the tank below and the Butterworth cover is carelessly removed. [5] Butterworth hatches have been responsible for a number of marine losses. [6]

4. Sanitary sewer overflow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer_overflow

   A manhole cover unable to contain a sanitary sewer overflow. Sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) is a condition in which untreated sewage is discharged from a sanitary sewer into the environment prior to reaching sewage treatment facilities. When caused by rainfall it is also known as wet weather overflow.

5. Manhole cover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhole_cover

   A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, an opening large enough for a person to pass through that is used as an access point for an underground vault or pipe. It is designed to prevent anyone or anything from falling in, and to keep out unauthorized persons and material.

6. Orifice plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orifice_plate

   Orifice plate showing vena contracta. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.

7. Washing machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washing_machine

   Twin tub washing machines have two tubs, one larger than the other. The smaller tub in reality is a spinning drum for centrifugal drying while the larger tub only has an agitator in its bottom. Some machines could pump used wash water into a separate tub for temporary storage and to later pump it back for re-use.
