2. Sail switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_switch

   A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is actuated on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. [1] A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle or a diaphragm which gets displaced due to the force of fluid or air moving past it.

3. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   Uses of pneumatic pressure switches include: Switch a household well water pump automatically when water is drawn from the pressure tank. Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in ...

4. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

   There are three different methods for detection of water shortage: Pressure switch on suction manifold or float switch/electrode relay in the supply tank: Dry-running protection with pressure/level switch. Measurement of inlet pressure in the suction manifold by means of an analogue pressure transmitter: Dry-running protection with pressure ...

   All of the firearms (a 9mm, a .357, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .30-06) could be discharged under water, but the bullets lose velocity rapidly and are rendered less than lethal beyond a meter. (The entire gun had to be completely submerged in water—all pockets of air must be removed—to prevent a possible explosion when fired.)

6. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid. As air pressure is increased, the compressed air starts to push against the piston or diaphragm walls which causes the valve to actuate. Whether the valve opens or closes depends on ...

7. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

   The diaphragm or bladder may itself exert a pressure on the water, but it is usually small and will be neglected in the following discussion. Case 1 is an empty tank at the charging pressure P c (gauge). The total volume of the tank is V t. Case 2 is a tank in use, with the air pressure at pressure P (gauge) and a water volume of V
