I will be the 13th answer, an inauspicious number. I would rather that the term ' dignify that' be made more specific. Like ' dignify the stand or the question. But this suggestion, was by the way. After all when one speaks in anger, he doesn't have to be particular about finesse.I do not know your nationality but if you are an Indian, you may have heard Ex PM, Man Mohan Singh sharing a Urdu Couplet, in the Lok Sabha. Loosely translated:My silence has kept dignity of many of your questions.You have repeated the same feeling, not in humility but utmost disdain.
A hose is a flexible tube use for conveying fluids (as from a faucet or hydrant). Normally, a hose is smaller in size than pipe. Hoses can be made of a combination of various materials from polyurethane, polyethylene, nylon and natural or synthetic fibers. Hoses are built based on application and performance. They are usually designed based on their Pressure rating, weight, length, coil hose, straight hose and chemical compatibility. There are various types of hose based on their applications, such as garden hose, fire hose or air hose. They are usually used with spigots or clamps in order manage water flow. When selecting a hose, safety considerations shall always put in place. Does the conveying fluid can damage human skin and enter the human body if the hose breaks? Does the conveying fluid can cause severe tissue damage and loss of a limb? Does contact with the conveying fluid requires medical assistance? If not handle properly hoses fittings can blow off, causing loose hose to whip. Systems that use compressible fluids (i.e. compressed air, gasoline, etc.) pose great risk, in this case it is recommended to use guards and restrains to protect the user.A pipe is a rigid hollow cylinder or tube used to conduct a liquid, gas, or finely divided solid or substances that flow. The flow of the liquids is supported by tees and elbows. Pipes are usually put up for long-term purposes or permanently such as potable water pipes for a house or building or for transportation of waste water in a city or industry. Pipe are typically utilized also for structural applications, fabrication and railings. Pipe is made in many materials including ceramic, fiberglass, metals and alloys, concrete and plastic. Many industrial and government standards exist for the production of pipe and tubing.
Is a EGR valve needed on a Pontiac Bonneville 3.8 liter?
I have a 1996 Firebird with the same 3.8L V6 motor. I recently had to have the EGR valve replaced, as well. I am not sure- but I think that the EGR valve has to do with the emissions. It may not pass an emissions test if the EGR valve has been bypassed. If you have to have it replaced, it probably won't be that expensive. Good luck. EDIT: here is an explanation of what an EGR valve is, and what its function is, thank you to this gentleman named Shovelkicker for providing an answer elsewhere in 'answers.' This was not my own post- this mechanic whose name is Shovelkicker wrote this explanation, which was written about one year ago in response to another individual's question regarding what an EGR valve is. " (The) EGR valve is the Exhaust Gas Recycling valve. This is for when a motor is cold and needs extra fuel to keep running. Back in the days of chokes you would restrict the air going into the carburator to make the car run richer. With fuel injection cars more fuel is added to the engine to richen the mixture. This richer mixture causes the exhaust to have unburnt hydrocarbons, meaning not good for the environment. The EGR opens and allows some of the exhaust to be added back into the intake to be reburned. Once the engine warms up to operating tempurature the EGR closes. The EGR should be a UFO looking item about the diameter of a big coffee cup. Should be brownish metal, lightly rusted from the heat. A a steel pipe, around 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter, will run from the EGR to the exhaust at the back of the engine. Some EGR valves are on the front of the engine, some at the rear. Most frontwheel drive cars with will be right above the exhaust manifold on the front of the engine."
Toward the end of World War II, Nazi tank crews were seen by Allied intelligence to be carrying a length of hose. The Third Reich was out of fuel and was siphoning fuel with this methodology. A hose filled with a liquid can be plugged at one end (the outlet) and the liquid will remain in the hose long enough for the suction end to be inserted into the tank to be emptied and the outlet end to be placed into a receiver tank at a lower elevation. When the outlet is unplugged (remove the thumb or finger), the fuel should flow from the higher tank to the lower despite the height of the outlet of the height being emptied.DO NOT use your mouth to attempt to create enough suction to draw gasoline up and over the outlet of the upper tank, as this is a dangerous practice that may result in inhaling or ingesting gasoline with serious health consequences. DO NOT smoke or allow any flame or spark, including a cell phone (it's not an "urban myth that cell phones can and do cause gasoline explosions on occasion), near the operation. DO NOT do this in the bed of a truck, be on the ground to avoid an explosion hazard created by ungrounded tanks. DO follow all the generally accepted gasoline safety rules. Most experts would agree that siphoning gasoline with a garden hose is a dangerous and foolhardy practice. In general, this is a practice to be avoided entirely, due to the explosion and health risks involved. A much safer method is to use a non-metallic self-priming hand transfer pump which costs just a few dollars. A thief using a hose to siphon someone else's fuel is no longer possible with some modern tank designs, and is somewhat preventable with older tanks by using a locking cap. It is illegal and dangerous. Cases are documented of gasoline thieves being horribly burnt, which is certainly a tragedy all around.
A seamless pipe is manufactured using extrusion process. The joint efficiency factor 'E' is 1. This method is recommended for Category 'M' fluids.ERW pipes are manufactured when the sheet metal is overlapped and a bias is applied to develop resistance between the sheets. The heat developed causes the sheets to fuse together. The joint efficiency factor 'E' is 0.85. Used for category D fluids.Note :As per ASME standards,(a) Category D Fluid Service: a fluid service in whichall the following apply:(1) the fluid handled is nonflammable, nontoxic,and not damaging to human tissues as defined inpara. 300.2(2) the design gage pressure does not exceed1035 kPa (150 psi)(3) the design temperature is from −29°C (−20°F)through 186°C (366°F)(b) Category M Fluid Service: a fluid service in whichthe potential for personnel exposure is judged to besignificant and in which a single exposure to a verysmall quantity of a toxic fluid, caused by leakage, canproduce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathingor bodily contact, even when prompt restorativemeasures are taken
