Record 4 2010-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
DEF

That part of the lowest horizontal piping of a drainage system which receives the discharge from soil, waste, and other drainage pipes inside the walls of the building and conveys it to the building sewer(house sewer), the pipe that begins five feet outside the inner face of the building wall.

French

Record 5 2003-05-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Building Ventilation
DEF

... a vent pipe that serves a number of fixtures and connects to the fixture drain of the most upstream fixture.

DEF

A vent pipe connected to a horizontal drainage pipe receiving the discharges from one or more otherwise unvented fixture. The vent pipe rises above the overflow level or flood rim of the highest connected fixture connected to the vented drainage pipe, and the vent pipe is connected to a vent stack.

OBS

If the vent pipe connects to the same vent stack or stack vent into which the venture fixtures discharge, the vent is a loop vent. If the vent pipe connects to some other vent stack or stack vent than that into which the vented fixtures discharge, it is a circuit vent.

OBS

NPC states: a loop vent is the same as a circuit vent except that it loops back and connects with a stack vent instead of a vent stack.

French

Record 6 2000-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Winches
DEF

A windlass consisting of a vertical and horizontal spar with a bight of the rope taken around the horizontal spar, which is used to move heavy loads over short distances.

CONT

In making a Spanish windlass, fasten a rope between the load you are to move and an anchorage some distance away. Place a short spar vertically beside this rope, about halfway between the anchorage and the load. This spar may be a pipe or a pole, but in either case it should have as large a diameter as possible. Make a loop in the rope and wrap it partly around the spar. Insert the end of a horizontal rod through this loop. The horizontal rod should be a stout pipe or bar long enough to provide leverage. It is used as a lever to turn the vertical spar. As the vertical spar turns, the rope is wound around it, which shortens the line and pulls on the load. Make sure that the rope leaving the vertical spar is close to the same level on both sides to prevent the spar from tipping over.

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Record 7 2000-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drilling and Boring (Construction)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Transport of Water (Water Supply)
CONT

The most recent methods being used to install conduits under roadways, pipe ramming, microtunneling, and horizontal directional drilling, are not always addressed in DOT [Department of Transportation] specifications. A survey of state DOTs indicated that states’ experience with trenchless technology varies considerably.

Record 8 2000-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A pipe, mounted to the front plate of a combustion chamber, through which an optical flame detector sights the burner flame.

CONT

The Forney Dual Fuel Horn Igniter assembly consists of a mounting plate, combination oil and gas gun, High Energy Spark Igniter (HESI), 6" combustion air tube, flame detector and horn. The mounting plate retains the oil/gas gun, HESI and flame detector guide pipe. The flame detector head is mounted on a 1" sight pipe which provides an unobstructed view of the flame inside the horn.

CONT

This fibre optic viewing head extension is particularly useful for solving the sighting problems associated with tilting or movable burners. The flame envelope from this type of burner can be tilted from a horizontal position up or down as much as 30 degrees. It would be impossible to follow this flame pattern with a fixed sighting through the wind-box. Welding the tip guide(lens end) of this viewing head extension to the movable air compartment nozzle solves this problem. This viewing head extension can also be used for those applications where it is impossible to find a clear unobstructed view of the flame using a standard sight pipe. Here again the viewing head extension is mounted inside the furnace for a clear unobstructed view of the flame.
