Walking beam mechanism?

A primitive form of steam engine (stationary and marine) dating from Newcomen and Watt! It has been argued that walking beam is a corruption of working beam as this is how the engine works or functions. there is a diamond shaped walking beam (steel in modern (they are long obsolete) ones and one or two cylinders and pistons. Steam is admitted to the the cylinder the piston (and the beam ) tilts up gravity valves trip on the opposite cyoinder and the process repeats itself. a walking beam engine can have a flywheel as the marine types would (the ships"s paddle wheels) or it oculd be uswed to operate pumps where it would be direct action on and off. they have been auxioliary powered by other means (su8c has diesels) and sre still in use on Oil wells pumping up thick crude oil- quite a profitabole venture inthe Middle east. There is also a walking beam esapement on some timepieces that i s sometimng else and would be very difficult to describe without illustrations.

What is process pipework?

What is the basic difference between the Pressure equipment directive and the pressure equipment safety regulations?

The pressure Equipment Directive is a European Directive intended for all member states of the EU. European directives are extremely difficult to police and enforce, so they are simply a directive which the respective governments must adhere to. It was initially intended to ensure a common standard of manufacturing safety and workmanship control, by stipulating design documentation, testing, material control and traceability, and inspection requirements during construction and fabrication of pressure equipment. By doing so, the standard and safety of pressure equipment across the boundaries of EU states, became more uniform, hence it resulted in a virtual removal of trade barriers. The Pressure Equipment Regulations are a means of an individual state (in this case UK) of legally enforcing the requirements of the PED.

What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?

What are the advantages of using a duplex milling machine?

These machines can rough machine both sides, at the same time, of a blank to "near finish" or "finish size" on the thickness of a blank. This cuts the time spent finish machining on a more expensive CNC machining center to perform the more complex machining characteristics of the part. Unfortunately, this increases handling time, setup time, and adds another move and probably another storage point to the process.

How much weight can a two by four support?

A two by four can support a load up to 400 pounds. The length of a two by four will change the weight it can support.
