  2. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    Insulated wires may be run in one of several forms between electrical devices. This may be a specialised bendable pipe, called a conduit, or one of several varieties of metal (rigid steel or aluminium) or non-metallic (PVC or HDPE) tubing. Rectangular cross-section metal or PVC wire troughs (North America) or trunking (UK) may be used if many ...

  3. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    Galvanized rigid conduit (GRC) is galvanized steel tubing, with a tubing wall that is thick enough to allow it to be threaded. Its common applications are in commercial and industrial construction. [1] It is designed to protect wire and connectors. Intermediate metal conduit (IMC) is a steel tubing heavier than EMT but lighter than RMC. It may ...

  4. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

    Ducts for air pollution control in a 17000 standard cubic feet per minute regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). A round galvanized steel duct connecting to a typical diffuser Fire-resistance rated mechanical shaft with HVAC sheet metal ducting and copper piping, as well as "HOW" (Head-Of-Wall) joint between top of concrete block wall and underside of concrete slab, firestopped with ceramic ...

  5. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles.

  6. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

    It can also be used for structural applications; a hollow pipe is far stiffer per unit weight than the solid members. In common usage the words pipe and tube are usually interchangeable, but in industry and engineering, the terms are uniquely defined. Depending on the applicable standard to which it is manufactured, pipe is generally specified ...

  8. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    The market for aluminium building wire today is mostly confined to larger gauge sizes used in supply circuits. [27] Electrical wiring codes give the allowable current rating for standard sizes of conductors. The current rating of a conductor varies depending on the size, allowable maximum temperature, and the operating environment of the conductor.
