Record 1 2004-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dredging
DEF

An hydraulic cutter dredge that uses a bucket wheel excavator in place of the traditional rotary cutter. The bucket wheel is characterized by its high cutting torque in both directions and by a positive feed of the excavated material into the mouth of the dredged pipe.

OBS

Suction dredges, available in many sizes, are the most widely used type of dredge. They move soil by suction and pumping through pipes ... The type of material to be excavated determines whether a cutter head will be required on the end of the suction line. A cutter head is used when material has to be loosened and cut up into small enough pieces to get into the suction line and flow through the pipes to discharge.

Record 4 1994-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plumbing Tools and Equipment
CONT

Reamers are combined with many types of tubing cutters and many of these cutters have a slide-action adjustment which saves time because the cutter wheel can be pushed against the tubing rather than be tightened by turning the handle.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareillage et outils de plomberie
CONT

De nombreux alésoirs sont combinés à différents types de coupe-tuyaux et certains de ces coupe-tuyaux sont dotés d'un coulisseau réglable, ce qui facilite le travail et permet de gagner du temps puisqu'on peut appuyer la molette contre le tuyau plutôt que de le serrer à l'aide de la poignée.
