  3. 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 .

  4. Maximum experimental safe gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Experimental_Safe_Gap

    Maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) is a standardized measurement of how easily a gas flame will pass through a narrow gap bordered by heat-absorbing metal. MESG is used to classify flammable gases for the design and/or selection of electrical equipment in hazardous areas , and flame arrestor devices. [ 1 ]

  5. 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 ...

    Oil does not degrade significantly just sitting in a cold engine. On the other hand, if a car is driven just for very short distances, the oil will not fully heat up, and it will accumulate contaminants such as water, due to lack of sufficient heat to boil off the water. Oil in this condition, just sitting in an engine, can cause problems.
