Subject field(s)
  • Centrifugal Pumps
CONT

A certain minimum distance must be maintained between the impeller and the volute tongue, depending on the impeller diameter and the magnitude of the specific speed.

Record 5 2004-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Collection (Water supply)
  • Non-Artesian Water Wells
CONT

Jetted wells, similar to drilled wells, are more common in sandy soils than in clay formations. A high-velocity stream of water is forced into the soil, then a jetting tool(point) is pushed into the loosened material to provide access for the well casing that follows. The casing of a jetted well often does not extend above the ground surface, a factor that both allows contaminants to enter the well and makes it difficult to later locate and inspect the well.

Subject field(s)
  • Cofferdams and Dewatering (Construction)
DEF

The lowest part of a drivers well, consisting essentially of a forged steel point, a screen, and short section of pipe threaded to fit a standard pipe.

CONT

Well-point [drainage] method. The term well point refers to the lower perforated end of a 2-in. or 2 1/2-in. pipe, commonly 40 in. long, that serves the double purpose of well casing and suction tube. The perforations are covered by a wire mesh. The well points are jetted into the ground at a spacing of 3 to 6 ft.

CONT

Basically, a well point is a perforated and screened pipe, about 1 1/2 in. in diameter and a few or several feet in length. The well point is fixed to a riser pipe, also of the same diameter, and the whole is driven with or without jetting ... The individual riser pipes are attached to a header pipe or manifold that leads to a pump.

CONT

Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT) is performed by hydraulically advancing penetrometer rod into the ground while collecting real-time data. The data collected via downhole instrumentation represents the soil responses (as the rod is advanced) in relation to tip resistance, friction sleeve resistance, pore pressures and electrical resistivity.

OBS

The most widely used static penetrometer is the "Dutch Cone".... with this equipment, the point resistance and the friction on the outside of the casing can each be measured. In a further modification the friction is measured on a separate sleeve of limited length, located just above the point.
