Record 2 2018-03-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
DEF

A flexible element either with flange end or butt weld end to absorb any combination of three basic movements, i. e. axial movement, lateral deflection and angular rotation along the axis of the pipe line.

CONT

[Axial bellows], of the type shown on a wellhead ..., transmit high compressive or tensile forces to the anchors, which must in consequence be sufficiently robust to resist these forces. They provide a rather expensive means of compensation, and are therefore used only where space restrictions prohibit the use of any form of looping - e.g. within a power house building, or in a hot water transmission pipe where vertical looping ... cannot be adopted. Internal metal sleeves greatly reduce steam friction in corrugated axial bellows.

OBS

bellows: Flexible element of an expansion joint, consisting of one or more convolutions, [usually] formed from thin metal.

PHR

corrugated axial bellows, sleeved axial bellows

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tuyauterie et raccords
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
CONT

[Les soufflets axiaux] présentés sur une tête de puits [...], transmettent des forces de compression ou de tension, importantes aux ancrages; ils doivent par conséquent être suffisamment robustes pour résister. Ils fournissent un moyen de compensation assez onéreux et ne sont donc utilisés que là où le manque d'espace interdit l'emploi de toute forme de dérivation, par exemple à l'intérieur du bâtiment de centrale ou dans un tuyau de transmission d'eau chaude ou des dérivations verticales [...] ne peuvent être adoptées. Des manchons métalliques intérieurs réduisent grandement la friction de la vapeur dans les soufflets axiaux ondulés.

OBS

soufflet : Dispositif d'étanchéité généralement métallique, en forme d'accordéon, installé sur la tige de manœuvre d'un appareil de robinetterie.

PHR

soufflet axial ondulé, soufflet axial à manchon

CONT

The train was equipped with a train information and braking system(TIBS) consisting of a sense and brake unit(SBU) mounted on the last car of the equipment left standing on the main track and an input and display unit(IDU) in the locomotive cab. The IDU displays the pressure in the brake pipe, emits an audible alarm when pressure drops below 48 pounds per square inch, and warns of zero brake pipe pressure. Also, movement of standing cars causes the display on the IDU to indicate the direction of movement of the car on which the IDU is mounted.... The TIBS is equipped with an emergency braking feature that can be used to remotely trigger an emergency brake application.

Record 6 2016-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Railroad Safety
CONT

Mechanical emergency device — This device activates the braking system of a stopped train in the case of an undesired movement. It consists of a clamp that attaches to the rail and to the lead locomotive air brake hose. If the train begins to move, the hose detaches from the locomotive, the brake pipe air is vented, and the emergency brakes are activated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité (Transport par rail)
CONT

Le dispositif mécanique de secours – Ce dispositif déclenche le circuit de freinage d’un train à l’arrêt en cas de mouvement involontaire. Il se compose d’une bride qui se fixe au rail et à la conduite couplable de frein à air de la locomotive de tête. Si le train commence à se déplacer, la conduite se détache de la locomotive, l’air dans la conduite générale est évacué et un freinage d’urgence se déclenche.

Record 11 2010-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbial Ecology
DEF

A small, immobilized bed, microbe bioreactor.

CONT

The bioreactor "plug" is made of slotted PVC pipe which is screw cap sealed at each end. Each plug is loaded with an inert porous material which serves as a structural support matrix for the microorganisms. The seed cultures in the bioplugs are a mixture of microorganisms selected for their abilities to biodegrade the contaminants of concern... The bioplugs are strategically inserted into the contaminated zone(s). Liquids then flow through the plugs by a pressure gradient created using compressed air. This flow acts to accelerate the movement of ground or irrigation water through the immobilized bed; thereby, facilitating the mineralization of organics within the aqueous phase and the bulk generation of biomass which bleeds off the bed.
