Pressure Measurement: Pressure Measurement Devices
Moderate pressure can be measured with sufficient accuracy by using simple pressure gauges like U-tube manometers. But when very low or high pressures are to be measured with high accuracy, advanced and more complex gauges are required. Common advanced...Published on April 28, 2010 to Civil Engineering

Hydrostatics or Fluid Statics: Pressure Variation
Fluids at rest have pressure as the major physical quantity to be considered, no flow behavior nor any shear forces. The fluid pressure results in the force acting on the bodies in contact with the fluid. In this article we will study how pressure develops...Published on April 28, 2010 to Civil Engineering

Fluid Pumps: Classification and Types
Classification of fluid or hydraulic pumps is based on fluid flow pattern through pumps and fluid supplied by pumps. Pumps can be classified as intermittent flow Positive Displacement Pumps and continuous flow Roto-Dynamic or Turbo Pumps. Read more on...Published on April 26, 2010 to Mechanical Engineering

Spherical Base Robot: Construction and Workspace
Spherical Base of the robots has just one replacement of the joint in the Cylindrical Base of the robots. The slider joint between the robot arm and the vertical member is replaced by a revolute joint. This change of a joint makes the spherical based...Published on March 5, 2010 to Mechanical Engineering

Types of Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps: Diaphragm Pump
Diaphragm Pumps have a diaphragm as the reciprocating part. The reciprocation of this diaphragm produces the pumping action of the diaphragm pump. The diaphragm can be actuated by liquid or air. Accordingly pumps are called as hydraulically operated or...Published on February 5, 2010 to Mechanical Engineering

Types of Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps: Piston Pump
Reciprocating pumps can have two types of reciprocating part, a piston or a diaphragm and based on this, reciprocating pumps can be piston or diaphragm pumps. Each type has different features suitable for specific applications. Read in this article construction...Published on February 5, 2010 to Mechanical Engineering

Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps
Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps has reciprocating parts to pump fluid. During one direction of motion of the reciprocating part fluid or liquid is taken inside and during the other opposite direction of motion fluid is pushed out. Reciprocating...Published on February 5, 2010 to Mechanical Engineering
