British Gas and Tracto-Technik jointly developed the technology called pipe bursting, which "allows the replacement of cast iron, clay, cement, and other fracturable pipes with a new main of the same or larger size for water, sewer, or production lines." ... Pipe bursting involves digging an entry pit at one end of the failed pipe and running a pneumatic pipe-bursting tool and an expander into the pipe through the pit opening. The pipe-bursting tool is a soil displacement hammer fitted with cutting blades. A steel line, attached to the head of the tool and to a winch on the other end of the pipe, keeps the line tight and helps guide the tool. As the pipe burster hammers through old pipe, the expander moves broken fragments and dirt out of the way to make room for new pipe, which is attached to the back of the tool and follows it into the void. After the new pipe is in place, crews connect service laterals at specified locations. 2, record 6, English, - bursting%20tool

Les systèmes de distribution de la vapeur. Retour humide. [Système à un seul tuyau. ](...)

Un tuyau d’égouttement(drip) est placé à cette extrémité et joint l'entrée de retour de la bouilloire [chaudière], pour former ce qu'on appelle le retour humide(wet return). 1, record 12, French, - tuyau%20d%27%C3%A9gouttement
