    The roof has various accessories attached including: Centre vent Allows air to enter and exit the gasholder as the storage volume changes. Roof vents Small nozzle around the periphery used for the installation of the seal. Roof manways Allows access down to the piston fender when the gasholder is full. Circumferential handrailing

  3. Weatherstripping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherstripping

    Weatherstripping is the process of sealing openings such as doors, windows, and trunks from the waters above. The term can also refer to the materials used to carry out such sealing processes. The goal of weatherstripping is to prevent rain and water from entering entirely or partially and accomplishes this by either returning or rerouting water.

  4. Pipe dope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_dope

    Petroleum-based pipe dope is not intended for use on threaded PVC, CPVC or ABS pipe and fittings since it will deteriorate the plastic. Builders in the US are expected to use thread compounds that meet ASTM F2331 - Standard Test Method for Determining Chemical Compatibility of Thread Sealants with Thermoplastic Threaded Pipe and Fittings Materials or thread seal tape on PVC, CPVC and ABS threads.

  5. Chainsaw safety features - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_features

    Most chainsaw safety features are focused on the kickback problem, and seek to either avoid it (chain and bar design), or to reduce the risk of injury should it occur (chain brakes). In addition to the safety features built into the chainsaw, operators should also wear specific chainsaw safety clothing .

  6. Dry gas seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_gas_seal

    The first dry gas seal for a compressor was patented by Kaydon Ring & Seal in 1951 when it was known as Koppers Corporation. Field applications of dry gas seal designs were completed in 1952. The original patent was for Kaydon's "Tapered Ramp" lift geometry, a constant diameter / variable depth dynamic lift design. From that first dry gas seal ...

  7. Hermetic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_seal

    A hermetic seal is any type of sealing that makes a given object airtight (preventing the passage of air, oxygen, or other gases). The term originally applied to airtight glass containers but, as technology advanced, it applied to a larger category of materials, including metals, rubber, and plastics. Hermetic seals are essential to the correct ...

  8. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

    A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets .

  9. Gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

    A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. [1] It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly. [2]
