A single pipe plug is all it takes to seal the end of a threaded pipe. How Pipe Plugs Work Pipe plugs work by creating an obstruction at the end of a threaded pipe, thus sealing the pipe. With the water or fluid
Olet– an olet is a type of pipe fitting that connects a branch pipe to the main one and reinforces the connection. Normally, an Olet is welded to the main pipe on one end and the other end has a female receiver to connect to the branch pipe. Cross– a cross is a pipe fitting th...
Switching to a Kia Hybrid or Electric vehicle is easier than you might think. We offer a broad array of electric cars and hybrid vehicles with Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, or Electric powertrains. Discover the benefits of electric and hybrid cars in our range and find out which is best for yo...
If you have a clogged pipe, a drain snake is a simple and cheap tool you can use to fix it. These are advertised as devices that anyone can use to unclog a drain. But if used improperly, drain augers could make the clog worse. You could jam the obstruction in there tighter, or ...
This proportion is only likely to grow in the coming years, as we count down to2030, when sales of conventional petrol and diesel new cars will be banned. What is a plug-in hybrid car and how does it work? A PHEV is exactly what its name suggests: it’s a hybrid car with a batte...
A neat analogy to help understand these terms is a system of plumbing pipes. The voltage is equivalent to the water pressure, the current (amperage) is equivalent to the flow rate, and the resistance is like the pipe size. There is a basic equation in electrical engineering that states how...
In its simplest form, a pigging system consists of a solid projectile or plug (the ‘pig’) with a diameter slightly larger than the pipeline or tubing that is transporting the liquid. Pigging works by introducing this pig into the pipeline and pushing it through the pipe. Sometimes it is ...
It has a 300–400 mile range and fast 5-minute refuel times. Compared to gas-powered cars, EVs are more efficient. They have lower operating costs and produce no tailpipe emissions, making them better for the environment. Is the Automotive Future Electric? The future of the automotive ...
Thread Engagement:Proper thread engagement is crucial to ensure a reliable seal. Incomplete thread engagement can lead to leaks. Thread Sealant:It's common practice to use thread sealants, such as Teflon tape or pipe dope/glue, when assembling NPT connections to enhance the seal and prevent leaks...
Voltage is the “pressure,” as it were, that makes electricity flow. In physics, voltage can be calculated using Ohm’s Law, which tells us that voltage equals resistance times current. Resistance indicates the difficulty with which electricity flows. Imagine a water main. As the pipe grows ...
