In theatre, a platform (also referred to as a riser or rostrum) is a stationary, standard flat walking surface for actors to perform on. Typically, they are built to be assembled modularly. Typically, they are built to be assembled modularly.
Drilling riser joints with buoyancy modules. A drilling riser is a conduit that provides a temporary extension of a subsea oil well to a surface drilling facility. Drilling risers are categorised into two types: marine drilling risers used with subsea blowout preventer (BOP) and generally used by floating drilling vessels; and tie-back drilling risers used with a surface BOP and generally ...
A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.
The RLWI enable subsea well intervention without having to use a drilling riser package connected to the subsea stack (blowout preventer system). The technology is based on wireline well maintenance, where the cable is routed via a subsea lubricator system [ 1 ] into the subsea well. [ 2 ]
The Lower Riser Package is a mechanical device to protect an oil well located underwater (subsea) and used during an oil well intervention. The LRP is essentially a mini blow out preventer (BOP). The lower riser package consists of a connector to the subsea oil well, a series of safety valves and a connection point at the top for connection to ...
Riser: The near-vertical element in a set of stairs, forming the space between one step and the next. It is sometimes slightly inclined from the vertical so that its top is closer than its base to the person climbing the stairs. If a physical riser is not present, the design is described as "open riser". This is often the case in unfinished ...
Riser card, a printed circuit board which extends connectors away from another board; Riser, a skateboard component which increases the space between the wheels and the deck; Riser, the center section of a recurve bow; Parachute riser, strip of webbing joining the harness to the rigging lines; Riser (casting), a reservoir in a manufacturing mold
Riser clamp for a standpipe through-penetration firestop inside a fire hose cabinet under construction. A riser clamp is a type of hardware used by mechanical building trades for pipe support in vertical runs of piping (risers) at each floor level. The devices are placed around the pipe, and integral fasteners are then tightened to clamp them ...
