Record 3 2008-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The purpose of a flare on the end of a tube is twofold. First, it provides a flange that is gripped between the sleeve or flare nut and the body of a fitting. This prevents the end of the tube from slipping out of the fitting. Second, the flare acts as a gasket between the sleeve and the cone of the fitting, thus providing a tight seal. [The] flare must be nearly perfect because minute cracks or irregularities would permit leakage at the junction.

CONT

In servicing the fuel system [of an aircraft] it is sometimes necessary to make flares on the ends of tubing.

Record 4 2000-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
DEF

A metal cap for glass containers whose seal is effected by pressing over the container.

OBS

There are two main types of press-on caps : the first is a preformed cap which, when pressed over the container finish, effects its seal on the side and/or top of the container finish by means of a rubber or plastic sealing gasket. The second type effects its seal by means of paper or composition gasket liner pressed against the top of the glass finish.

OBS

Other types of press-on closures are snap-fit caps ... dispensing caps, which are often secondary closures; and overcaps.

OBS

Although the terms "closure" and "cap" may be seen as different when standing alone, we think they should be recognized as synonyms when properly qualified.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modes d'ouverture et de fermeture (Emball.)

OBS

Partial threshold weatherstripping consists of a length of material, triangular in cross-section,(usually metal with a vinyl or closed-cell foam gasket) fastened to the floor on the exterior side of the door. When closed, the door butts against the strip, thus creating a seal even if there is no threshold directly beneath the door. In CATIR-E, 1983, no. 4, p. 33(Canadian Tire "Winter Shopping Guide"), this type of weatherstripping is described as a bumper.
