  2. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    Hydraulic actuators convert fluid pressure into motion. Similar to pneumatic actuators, they are used on linear or quarter-turn valves. Fluid pressure acting on a piston provides linear thrust for gate or globe valves. A quarter-turn actuator produces torque to provide rotary motion to operate a quarter-turn valve.

    A forcible entry tool for removing cylinder locks; used with a Halligan bar. Kelly tool A prying tool much like a Halligan tool without the right-angle pointed tip. Knox Box A box secured to the outside (esp. of a commercial occupancy) containing master keys, accessible by a high-security key available to responding firefighters.

  4. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is ...

  5. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    Electrical energy is used to actuate equipment such as multi-turn valves, or electric-powered construction and excavation equipment. When used to control the flow of fluid through a valve, a brake is typically installed above the motor to prevent the fluid pressure from forcing open the valve.

  6. Ball valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

    A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. [1]

  7. Blade solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_solidity

    If an impeller has only a few blades (i.e a large pitch), it will result in less lift force and in a similar manner for more blades (i.e. very low pitch), there will be high drag force. Blade solidity should not be confused with rotor solidity, which is the ratio of the total area of the rotor blades to the swept area of the rotor.
