Importance of bridge bearings for bridge structures?

  Bridge decks have support through piers which are prone to damage because of vehicle movement and heat expansion. The main function of bridge bearings is - to offer a strong connection for controlling interactions of movements and loading between the structural parts (normally between the substructures and superstructures). Bride bearings give a uniform transfer of loads from the beams to the substructures. Both bridge bearings and expansion joints play chief roles in bridge construction.   What are bridge bearings and their function?   Bridge bearings carry movement/loads in both horizontal and vertical directions from the superstructure of brides. They help in conveying the loads to abutments and bridge piers. Loads can be dead load or live load in vertical direction/earthquake loads or wind load in horizontal directions. Bridge bearings and expansion joints are an important component of any bridge providing a resting surface. The main purpose of using such...

What are gate valves? What is their usage in multiple industries?

Valves are devices that control or direct and regulate the flow of fluids such as liquids, gases, slurries, fluidized solids etc by partially obstructing or closing several passageways. One of the vital and most common valves that are used in varied industries is - Gate valve. There are different types of gate valves used for different applications. One of them is Sewage gate valves . These valves are majorly used for wastewater. What are gate valves? Gate valves are known as sluice valves. They open by lifting the rectangular or round gate/ wedge. from the fluid's path. The main feature of gate valves is the sealing surface between the seats and the gates which are planar. This makes gate valves ideal to be used when minimum restriction and straight-line fluid flow are required. Gate valves are specially designed for serving as isolation valves. Gate valves help in controlling the fluid flow through pipes. These valves are installed to stop or start the water flow. They are ...

Learn everything about x-ray baggage scanner machines

  What is an x-ray baggage scanner machine? The X-ray baggage scanner machines are vital for security systems. These machines rely on X-rays to watch through the surface of the luggage in order to get a precise image of the things inside. The security officers take help from an x-ray baggage scanning machine to calculate the density of the carrying object that gives them every bit of information they require to locate contrabands. Why are these machines so important?  The x-ray baggage scanner machines are important in finding out the hidden or smuggling contrabands along with dangerous weapons, explosives, illegal items, narcotics etc. When any baggage enters into the lead-lined curtains, items absorb a few x rays of energy. The main aim of security screenings with the help of these machines is to avoid harmful or dangerous goods from going into the aircraft or any other place. In the airports, every passenger needs to walk by the metal detectors and baggage is scanned with ...

How important do HDPE pipe fittings play?

The HDPE pipe fittings play a vital role in better water transmission and distribution systems. High-density polyethene pipe fittings are hard and light. These have smooth outer and inner surfaces. Use reliable HDPE fittings for your system.   Why are HDPE pipe fittings the most preferred ones?   The HDPE fittings for pipes are light in weight but durable and hard. Transportation of these fittings need less equipment and can be applied easily to every field condition even on the wet floor, ice, marshy areas etc. HDPE fittings for your pipes are mostly suitable for agriculture, irrigation, utilities, commercial, residential, industrial and many more purposes.   The HDPE pipe and its fittings are well sorted by strength. They undergo various tests and the tests show no such harmful effects on human beings. In the HDPE piping system, fittings are widely used as they offer efficient performance. The HDPE pipe fittings are economically great and easy to handle. The HDPE pipe ...
