  2. Suction excavator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_excavator

    The suction excavator uses suction fans for the airflow to suck up the material that is then transported into the holding tank. Hydro excavation, a type of suction excavator using high-pressure water jets, is sometimes referred to as daylighting, as the underground utilities are exposed to daylight during the process. [2]

  3. Airwatt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airwatt

    Where airflow in Cubic Feet per Minute [CFM] is calculated using airflow = √ 13.35 × D 2 / vacuum. Where D is the diameter of the orifices. [5] [further explanation needed] CFM is always given statistically at its maximum which is at a 2-inch (51 mm) opening. Waterlift, on the other hand, is always given at its maximum: a 0-inch opening.

  4. Suction caisson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_caisson

    Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that lifting forces generate a pressure differential that holds the caisson down.

  5. Suction filtration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_filtration

    Diagram of the vacuum filtration apparatus. By flowing through the aspirator, water will suck out the air contained in the vacuum flask and the Büchner flask.There is therefore a difference in pressure between the exterior and the interior of the flasks : the contents of the Büchner funnel are sucked towards the vacuum flask.

  6. Vacuum extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_extraction

    Vacuum extraction (VE), also known as ventouse, is a method to assist delivery of a baby using a vacuum device. It is used in the second stage of labor if it has not progressed adequately. It may be an alternative to a forceps delivery and caesarean section. It cannot be used when the baby is in the breech position or for premature births.

  7. Aspirator (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirator_(medicine)

    Potain's aspirator. A medical aspirator is a suction machine used to remove mucus, blood, and other bodily fluids from a patient.They can be used during surgical procedures but an operating theater is generally equipped with a central system of vacuum tubes. [1]

  8. Vacuum aspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_aspiration

    Single-use double-valve manual vacuum aspirator. Vacuum or suction aspiration is a procedure that uses a vacuum source to remove an embryo or fetus through the cervix.The procedure is performed to induce abortion, as a treatment for incomplete spontaneous abortion (otherwise commonly known as miscarriage) or retained fetal and placental tissue, or to obtain a sample of uterine lining ...

  9. Anaesthetic machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaesthetic_machine

    The machine is commonly used together with a mechanical ventilator, breathing system, suction equipment, and patient monitoring devices; strictly speaking, the term "anaesthetic machine" refers only to the component which generates the gas flow, but modern machines usually integrate all these devices into one combined freestanding unit, which ...
