Why is iron not used on drain pipes?
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.
Why cast iron is good for machine bases?
Grey cast iron is good for machine bases due to its capacity of absorbing vibration. This can be explained through its microstructure, where graphite works as great shock absorber.
How do you cap a cast iron pipe?
If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling
What metal is old and used for plumbing pipes?
galvanized water lines, cast iron drain lines, sometimes lead pipes, terracotta or clay pipes, and in rare cases wooden pipes.
Something that allows electrons to flow easily through it is called what?
iron or water...almost any metal..i hear that iron is the best though
What were the new technologies used by the Assyrians?
running water ________________________________________________________________________ Iron weapons
What does it mean to have 870 iron level?
it is simply the amount of iron that is running through your blood
Why ships made of cast iron do not rust even they are in contact with water?
Because the Iron collides with the oxygen and creates a protective layer outside the ship. The water cannot break through this substance, so, the Iron is not in direct contact with the water, so, the Iron wont rust. :)
What type of magnets are produced by running rlrctric current through a soft iron core?
Electromagnets are produced by running electric current through a soft iron core. Soft iron enhances the magnetic properties and creates a temporary magnetism as long as the current flows through the core.
What are the three basic types of low pressure boilers?
The three basic types of low pressure boilers are fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, and cast iron sectional boilers. Fire tube boilers heat water by circulating hot gases through tubes, water tube boilers circulate water through tubes that are heated externally, and cast iron sectional boilers have multiple sections that heat water as it flows through them.
Cleaning cast iron?
To clean cast iron use hot water and a cloth or sponge. Dry the cast iron right away. You should not use soap, and you should never soak cast iron or it will rust.
How does a cast iron hand water pump work?
A cast iron hand water pump works by manually pumping a lever up and down. This action creates a vacuum within the pump, pulling water up through a pipe from a well or other water source. The water is then pushed out through a spout when the lever is pushed down.
Can goldfish live in a cast iron water butt?
no
When you flush the toilet on the first floor sounds like dripping water behind the mirror on the floor below it sounds like water running down a wall and not in a drain is that possible?
If it was water on the wall, you would soon see a stain developing. Most likely it is because the pipe in the wall is PVC instead of cast iron. PVC does not deaden sound as well as cast iron.
Can cast iron be made into an electromagnet?
Yes, cast iron can be made into an electromagnet by wrapping it with a coil of wire and passing an electric current through the wire. When the electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field in the cast iron, turning it into an electromagnet.
What is iron exchange method to clean water?
Iron exchange is a water treatment process that involves removing iron from water by passing it through a special resin that exchanges iron ions for sodium ions. As the water flows through the resin bed, the iron ions are captured by the resin and replaced with sodium ions, effectively removing the iron from the water. This method is commonly used to treat water with high iron concentrations, improving its taste and clarity.
How does cast iron react to salt water?
It corrodes badly.
