What’s a Pressure Reducing Valve?

Pressure reducing valves control the flow of liquid or gas and shut off once a certain pressure level is reached. They are used in various industries for water pressure relief, propane gas, SCUBA diving, and RVs. They can be set for any downstream pressure level and contain a diaphragm, gauges, and a regulating handle. Water […]

What’s a Reducing Coupling?

Reducing couplings join pipes of different diameters, available in various types and sizes for steel, copper, and PVC pipes. They can be screw-in, compression, braze, or adhesive type. They can accommodate multiple connections and are used in various industries. Reducing couplings are pipe fittings designed to allow pipes of different diameters to be joined together. […]

What are Reducing Forceps?

Reduction forceps are used to position and hold bone fragments in the treatment of fractures. They come in various models and can be used to manipulate bones in open or blind incisions. Surgeons may develop preferences for specific instruments and medical suppliers can provide samples for evaluation. Reduction forceps are used to position and hold […]

What’s a Reducing Agent?

A reducing agent donates electrons in a redox reaction, while the oxidizing agent acquires them. Redox reactions generate electric potential, which can be harnessed to create electricity, as in the potato battery experiment. The spontaneity of redox reactions depends on the stability of their products. Scientists can predict this based on electrical potential, which is […]
