    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sprinkler_system

    A sign warns hotel guests not to hang items from fire sprinklers. Each closed-head sprinkler is held closed by either a heat-sensitive glass bulb or a two-part metal link held together with fusible alloy. The glass bulb or link hold in place a "pip cap" which acts as a plug to prevent water from flowing, unless the ambient temperature around ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sprinkler

    A fire sprinkler mounted on a ceiling. A fire sprinkler or sprinkler head is the component of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been exceeded. Fire sprinklers are extensively used worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler heads fitted each year.

    A sprinkler system having pressurized air (rather than water) in the distribution pipes until a heat-activated sprinkler head opens and releases the stored air pressure, which in turn opens the main water valve (and possibly an accelerator valve) to flow water to the open sprinkler(s); used where the protected premises are not heated during ...

  6. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    Fluid bearings are bearings in which the load is supported by a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces. [1] Since there is no contact between the moving parts, there is no sliding friction, allowing fluid bearings to have lower friction, wear and vibration than many other types of bearings. Thus, it ...

  7. Impact sprinkler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_sprinkler

    Impact sprinkler head. An impact sprinkler (sometimes called an impulse sprinkler) is a type of irrigation sprinkler in which the sprinkler head, driven in a circular motion by the force of the outgoing water, pivots on a bearing on top of its threaded attachment nut. Invented in 1933 by Orton Englehart, it quickly found widespread use.

  8. Spare part - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spare_part

    Capital parts are spare parts which, although acknowledged to have a long life or a small chance of failure, would cause a long shutdown of equipment because it would take a long time to get a replacement for them. Capital parts are typically repaired or replaced during planned overhauls/scheduled inspections.

  9. Babbitt (alloy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbitt_(alloy)

    Babbitt metal is most commonly used as a thin surface layer in a complex, multi-metal assembly, but its original use was as a cast-in-place bulk bearing material. Babbitt metal is characterized by its resistance to galling. Babbitt metal is soft and easily damaged, which suggests that it might be unsuitable for a bearing surface.
