A cone crusher is a machine used in mining and construction to break medium to hard rocks into smaller pieces. It has a unique design that filters and crushes rocks quickly. The machine is powered by electric or diesel motors and is limited to handling material 3 inches in diameter or less. It is primarily […]
A wind cone, also known as a windsock, is a device that shows wind direction and speed. It is commonly used at airports, highways, and facilities. It consists of a fabric tube that rotates around a pole and extends as wind speed increases. It is easy to read and can be illuminated for night use. […]
A cone calorimeter is a device used to test the combustion properties of materials by heating them. It uses a conical heater and other units to measure heat, energy, smoke, mass loss, and oxygen levels. It is mainly used in fire safety engineering by manufacturers and government research labs to ensure material safety. A cone […]
A cone calorimeter is a device used to understand the combustion properties of materials by heating samples. It uses a conical heater and other important parts such as a sample holder, shutter mechanism, and sampling units. It is used in fire safety engineering by manufacturers and government research laboratories to measure the safety of materials. […]
Traffic cones aid traffic flow control, with various sizes and shapes used for construction projects or breakdowns. Developed in the US before WWI, modern cones are made of plastic and come in bright colors with heavy rubber bases. They are commonly used by highway departments for smaller detours and night work, and even ordinary motorists […]
Machine tapers use friction to secure a tool bit into a machine spindle. They are simple, quick, and inexpensive, with variations such as Morse, Brown & Sharp, Jarno, R8, and Jacobs Taper. Heavy-duty machines may also have threading or keying systems. Properly secured tool bits are essential for safety and productivity. A machine taper is […]
The Jacobs Taper is a type of machine taper used to secure tools in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. It relies on friction and pressure for a secure grip and is an economical alternative to conventional chucks. Other members of the machine taper family include the Morse taper and Brown and Sharpe taper, with […]
The Jacobs Taper is part of a family of machine tapers used to secure tools in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. It relies on friction and pressure to hold tools in place and is an economical alternative to conventional chucks. Other members of the family include the Morse and Brown and Sharpe tapers, with […]
A cone clutch engages a conical flywheel for a stronger lockup than a flat clutch. It requires less pedal depression to shift and wears less due to the cone shape. It can be rebuilt and reused, and its strength eliminates the need for a flywheel, allowing for faster acceleration. A cone clutch is a type […]
Woodworking chisels are hand-held tools used to remove material from wood. Bevel chisels have heavily bevelled sides for tight spaces, while blunt chisels are used for mortise and dovetail joints. Chisels come in a range of sizes and cutting profiles, and can be used for hobby, furniture, cabinetry, and construction industries. The Beveled Edge Bevel […]
Waffle cones are a type of pastry used to hold ice cream, frozen custard, or soft serve. They were invented in the 1890s and popularized at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Other types of ice cream cones include pie, pretzel, and sugar cones. Waffle cones can also be used for other culinary creations. A […]
Conical hats have been used for thousands of years in many cultures, with the modern use primarily seen in East and South Asian countries. They can be made of one or many pieces of material and come in two shapes: sharp and obtuse. Sharp conical hats are primarily used for ceremonial clothing, while obtuse conical […]
The cone penetration test (CPT) is a soil test that collects data as it penetrates the soil using a cylindrical metal rod with a conical tip. The data collected can be used to design pile foundations and evaluate soil seismic classification. A CPT system is required to take measurements using the cone penetrometer, which is […]
A valve cone is a component of a cone valve that can be dynamic or fixed. Dynamic cones control fluid or gas flow by adjusting the cone’s position, while fixed cones affect flow by forcing it around the cone. Different types of cone valves are used in plumbing and drainage systems. A valve cone is […]
A valve cone is a component of a cone valve that can be dynamic or fixed. Dynamic cones regulate fluid or gas flow by being raised or lowered, while fixed cones affect flow by restricting it and causing dispersion. Cone valves are used in plumbing and drainage systems. A valve cone is the defining and […]
LEEP and cone biopsy are surgeries used to treat cervical dysplasia. LEEP removes cells from the surface of the cervix, while cone biopsy removes a wedge-shaped piece of tissue further up the cervical canal. Both surgeries require widening of the vaginal canal and examination of the cervix under a microscope. Recovery involves mild cramping and […]
Cone dystrophy is a genetic eye disease affecting color vision due to damage to the cones. Treatment focuses on compensating for visual acuity loss, and researchers are working to develop more effective treatments. Regular eye exams are important for those with a family history of the condition. Cone dystrophy is an eye disease involving the […]
