    A pipe is a tubular wind instrument in general, or various specific wind instruments. [1] The word is an onomatopoeia, and comes from the tone which can resemble that of a bird chirping [citation needed].

    Pipette calibration is essential to ensure that the instrument is working according to expectations and as per the defined regimes or work protocols. Pipette calibration is considered to be a complex affair because it includes many elements of calibration procedure and several calibration protocol options as well as makes and models of pipettes ...

    The tubing system that allows the instrument to generate its sounds, resembles a pipe organ, which works on the same principle; however, the resonance is generated using a more direct method. In standard thongophones, there is a standard pitch designated for each tube; however the variable pitch thongophone, or drumbone , was made widely known ...

  6. Wind chime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chime

    In instruments such as organ pipes, the pitch is determined primarily by the length of the air column, because it is the resonance of the air column that generates the sound. The pipe material helps determine the "timbre" or "voice" of the pipe, but the air column determines the pitch. In a wind chime, the vibrations of the pipe itself radiate ...

    He established, according to Griffin, the notion that the blowpipe was an instrument of indispensable utility, and his published work, later translated into English, was regarded as one of the most useful books on practical chemistry extant. The blowpipes of all of the foregoing blasted air into a flame.

    However the section of the big beam pipe is used with a grid system for alignment with a laser, known as the laser pipe. This particular beamline is approximately 3 kilometers long. In particle accelerators the beamline is usually housed in a tunnel and/or underground, cased inside a concrete housing for shielding purposes.
