A device that uses the earth’s magnetic field to indicate relative direction.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that uses the Venturi principle to introduce a proportionate quantity of water additive concentrate into a water stream; the pressure at the throat is below atmospheric pressure and will draw in liquid from atmospheric storage.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that will shut off the gas supply to the controlled burner(s) in the event the source of ignition fails. This device can interrupt the flow of gas to main burner(s) only or to pilot(s) and main burner(s) under its supervision.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that, by inserting it into a truck flanged surface inlet, establishes an electrical connection to the truck for the purpose of providing power for the on-board electric loads and may provide a means for information exchange. This device is part of the truck coupler.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that, by insertion in a receptacle, establishes a connection between the conductors of the attached flexible cord and the conductors connected permanently to the receptacle.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that, by insertion into an electric vehicle inlet, establishes an electrical connection to the electric vehicle for the purpose of charging and information exchange. This device is part of the electric vehicle coupler.
Industry:Fire safety
A device that, when interrupting currents in its current-limiting range, reduces the current flowing in the faulted circuit to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the device were replaced with a solid conductor having comparable impedance.
Industry:Fire safety
A device used for boarding a vessel from the water, including handles, rails, ladders, steps, or platforms.
