Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement, genericized as fibro, fibrolite (short for "fibrous (or fibre) cement sheet"; but different from the natural mineral fibrolite), or AC sheet, is a composite building material consisting of cement and asbestos fibres pressed into thin rigid sheets and other shapes.

See Line stopping and Asbestos cement

Cast iron

Cast iron is a class of iron–carbon alloys with a carbon content of more than 2% and silicon content around 1–3%.

See Line stopping and Cast iron

Concrete

Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time.

See Line stopping and Concrete

Copper

Copper is a chemical element; it has symbol Cu and atomic number 29.

See Line stopping and Copper

Ductile iron

Ductile iron, also known as ductile cast iron, nodular cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron and SG iron, is a type of graphite-rich cast iron discovered in 1943 by Keith Millis.

See Line stopping and Ductile iron

High-density polyethylene

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene.

See Line stopping and High-density polyethylene

Hot tapping

Hot tapping, or pressure tapping, is the method of making a connection to existing piping or pressure vessels without the interrupting or emptying of that section of pipe or vessel. Line stopping and Hot tapping are Plumbing.

See Line stopping and Hot tapping

Hydraulics

Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids.

See Line stopping and Hydraulics

Piping

Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. Line stopping and piping are Plumbing.

See Line stopping and Piping

Polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride (alternatively: poly(vinyl chloride), colloquial: vinyl or polyvinyl; abbreviated: PVC) is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic (after polyethylene and polypropylene).

See Line stopping and Polyvinyl chloride

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is a common variety of large-diameter concrete pressure pipe used for transporting water and wastewater. Line stopping and Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe are Plumbing.

See Line stopping and Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe

Shutdown valve

A shutdown valve (also referred to as SDV or emergency shutdown valve, ESV, ESD, or ESDV; or safety shutoff valve) is an actuated valve designed to stop the flow of a hazardous fluid upon the detection of a dangerous event.

See Line stopping and Shutdown valve

Stainless steel

Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion.

See Line stopping and Stainless steel

Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.

See Line stopping and Steel

Temperature

Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness.

See Line stopping and Temperature

Transite

Transite originated as a brand that Johns Manville, an American company, created in 1929 for a line of asbestos-cement products, including boards and pipes.

See Line stopping and Transite

Valve

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Line stopping and valve are Plumbing.

See Line stopping and Valve
