Two different types of pump tanks are available : one is cylindrical and the other is made to be used as a back-pack.... The cylindrical model has carrying handles either attached to the container or built into the pump handle, and the water is discharged by a built-in, hand-operated vertical piston pump to which a short rubber hose is attached. The pump is double-acting and discharges water on both the up and the down strokes. To operate a cylindrical pump tank, place it on the ground and put one foot on the extension bracket at the base to steady the unit. 1, record 4, English, - cylindrical%20pump%20tank

Vapor Hand Pump Extinguisher-USES : Flammable liquids and electrical fires.-This extinguisher can be used either indoors or outdoors. The use of this type of extinguisher is not always advisable because of the accumulation of fumes after use. Common sense must be exercised when locating this type of extinguisher. Because they will not freeze, they make a good all around extinguisher and can be easily adapted on field equipment. To use, simply turn the handle and pump, and a 25 to 30 foot stream will be expelled at any angle. 1, record 5, English, - vapor%20hand%20pump%20extinguisher

Quality was of primary importance in developing the pond harvesting system. The shrimp has to be harvested rapidly and on a continuous basis and iced as quickly as possible to retard cellular breakdown and resulting body weight loss in the shrimp. This has been accomplished quite uniquely through a foot valve, pump and dewatering system in combination that deposits the shrimp directly from the pond and into a conveyorized ice bath bringing the temperature of the shrimp down to approximately 40 [degrees) F immediately after removing them from the pond. 1, record 7, English, - pond%20harvesting%20system

Methods of harvesting naturally depend on the culture system, the species cultured and the form in which the product is to be marketed. Properly designed fish ponds have special provisions for draining and easy harvesting, whereas in pens and similar enclosures suitable nets and other fishing devices have to be used. 2, record 7, English, - pond%20harvesting%20system

A bored well of about 30 cm diameter, used as an alternative to wellpoints, in which each borehole has its own pump installed at the top. It is more expensive and slower to install, but there is less disturbance to the ground than with wellpoints because there are fewer, though more efficient, wells.... If the pumps are submersible they can be installed at the foot of each well, and there is then no limit to their depth. 1, record 8, English, - filter%20well

La hauteur d'aspiration est limitée pratiquement à 7 ou 8,00 m. Dans le cas où la hauteur de pompage est plus importante, on a recours à des puits filtrants équipés chacun d'une pompe immergée dont la hauteur de refoulement n'est plus limitée.
