  2. Vacuum packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_packing

    External vacuum sealers involve a bag being attached to the vacuum-sealing machine externally. The machine will remove the air and seal the bag, which is all done outside the machine. A heat sealer is often used to seal the pack. Typically these units use a dry piston vacuum pump which is often considered a "maintenance-free" pump.

  3. Materials for use in vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_for_use_in_vacuum

    Lubrication of moving parts is a problem for vacuum. Many lubricants have unacceptable outgassing rates, [5] others (e.g. graphite) lose lubricating properties. Vacuum greases are greases with low outgassing. Ramsay grease is an old composition of paraffin wax, vaseline and natural rubber, usable up to about 25 °C, for low vacuums to about 1 Pa.

  4. Vacuum flask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_flask

    A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature. It greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings by trying to be as adiabatic as possible.

    Small impulse sealer Heat-sealed material lies on a warehouse floor. Notice the corded heat sealer to the left. Heat sealer used to prepare plastic bag of lettuce for shelf life testing Continuous band heat sealer. A heat sealer is a machine used to seal products, packaging, and other thermoplastic materials using heat. This can be with uniform ...

  6. Can seamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_seamer

    Automatic Can Seamer. A can seamer is a machine used to seal the lid to the can body. The lid or "end" is usually tinplated steel (food) or aluminum (drinks) while the body can be of metal (such as cans for beverages and soups), paperboard (whisky cans) or plastic.

  7. Vacuum engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_engine

    Some early gas engines worked on the "vacuum" or "atmospheric" principle in a similar way to the Newcomen steam engine.A mixture of gas and air was eaten by the cylinder and ignited; the mixture expanded and part of it escaped through the exhaust valve; the valve then closed, the mixture cooled and contracted, and atmospheric pressure pushed the piston in.

  8. Suction cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

    The working face of the suction cup is made of elastic, flexible material and has a curved surface. [3] When the center of the suction cup is pressed against a flat, non-porous surface, the volume of the space between the suction cup and the flat surface is reduced, which causes the air or water between the cup and the surface to be expelled past the rim of the circular cup.

  9. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
