DEF

A type of sprinkler fixed in position, having no moving parts and capable of dispersing water in a full part circle or square patterns.

CONT

Sprinkler irrigation: The application of water to the soil for the benefit of present crops. Water is projected outward through the air by above-ground applicators to reach the soil in droplet form that approaches rainfall. Applicators commonly used are rotary or fixed sprinklers, oscillating pipe or perforated pipe.

CONT

Sprinkler irrigation. Basic sprinkler types include rotating sprinklers and stationary spray-type nozzles. Rotating sprinklers, such as the slow-rotation, impact-driven sprinkler, are most commonly used. Fixed-spray nozzles are becoming more popular, although they are used most often for landscape applications because their application rates are very high.

OBS

nozzle. As per the source Internet, www.aom.ufl.edu/aom3734/handouts/Lecture12.doc, a "nozzle" is one part of a "sprinkler" but in other consulted sources, the term is also used as the whole.

CONT

Irrigation par aspersion [...] Elle comprend de nombreuses techniques qui diffèrent par : - la nature de l’asperseur : à jet fixe (diffuseur) ou à jet rotatif. [...] - le fonctionnement de l’asperseur à poste fixe ou en déplacement (appareil à pivot central, canon automoteur).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire-Fighting and Rescue Equipment
DEF

A portable, hand-operated piston pump with a short hose and a stirrup-shaped foot bracket for holding the pump on the floor or ground. The pump is used as a first aid for small fires and in cramped quarters. The pump is supplied by water from buckets and is a common US forest Service pump for back-pack operations.

CONT

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.
