2. Sandblasting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasting

   Mobile dry abrasive blast systems are typically powered by a diesel air compressor. The air compressor provides a large volume of high pressure air to a single or multiple "blast pots". Blast pots are pressurized, tank-like containers, filled with abrasive material, used to allow an adjustable amount of blasting grit into the main blasting line ...

3. Air entrainment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_entrainment

   Air entrainment in concrete is the intentional creation of tiny air bubbles in a batch by adding an air entraining agent during mixing. A form of surfactant (a surface-active substance that in the instance reduces the surface tension between water and solids) it allows bubbles of a desired size to form.

4. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...

5. Jackhammer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackhammer

   Hand-held jackhammers are generally powered by compressed air, but some are also powered by electric motors. Larger jackhammers, such as rig-mounted hammers used on construction machinery, are usually hydraulically powered. These tools are typically used to break up rock, pavement, and concrete.

6. Work in compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_in_compressed_air

   Traditionally, compressed air work was limited to maximum ambient pressures of between 3 and 4 bars (3.0 and 3.9 atm), but experience with offshore saturation diving shows that higher pressures can be managed at acceptable risk using the techniques developed in that industry, including saturation exposures and the use of breathing gases other than air.

7. Power tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_tool

   Compressed air is the customary power source for nailers and paint sprayers. A few tools (called powder-actuated tools) are powered by explosive cartridges. Tools that run on gasoline or gasoline-oil mixes are made for outdoor use; typical examples include most chainsaws and string trimmers.

8. Gas duster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster

   A gas duster, also known as tinned wind, compressed air, or canned air, is a product used for cleaning or dusting electronic equipment and other sensitive devices that cannot be cleaned using water. This type of product is most often packaged as a can that, when a trigger is pressed, blasts a stream of compressed gas through a nozzle at the top.

9. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

   A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.
