Gate Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBGate valves are usually divided into two types: parallel and wedge-shaped. The parallel gate valve uses a flat disc gate between two parallel seats, upstream and downstream. Shut-off is obtained by the free-floating seat or disk gate allow the upstream pressure to seal the seat and disk against any unwanted seat leakage.

HVAC Ductwork Information - GlobalSpec
WEBHVAC systems regulate the temperature inside a building, with the use of heating and cooling systems, wall and ceiling ducting, and other HVAC technologies. There are several types of HVAC ductwork. Examples include air conditioning ductwork, heating ductwork, furnace ductwork, and insulated ductwork. Air conditioning ductwork uses malleable ...
Filter Media Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBFilter media is material that actively separates solids from a solution and/or binds select materials in a solution. Base fluids may include coolants, corrosive chemicals, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, water, oil, inks, dies, and paints. Filter media can also remove particulates and contaminants from gas or air.

Wireways Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBWireways—sometimes known as "troughs" or "gutters" within the electrical contracting field—are commonly used to control wiring in environments where contaminants may cause problems. Depending on the product type, they can be mounted to walls or ceilings, secured under flooring, or laid out in a hybrid design in unique cable management systems.
Diodes Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBSchottky diodes are also known as Schottky barrier diodes or hot-carrier diodes. They consist of a junction between a metal layer and a semiconductor element. The metal layer, a cathode, is heavily occupied with conduction-band electrons. The semiconductor element, an anode, is a lightly doped N-type semiconductor.

Locknuts Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBJet nuts or K-nuts are smaller, flanged-type locknuts that are often used in aerospace or automotive racing applications. Speed nuts (sheetmetal nuts, tinnerman nuts) can be quickly pushed into place using deformable teeth instead of standard threads. Two-piece locknuts are sold as two-component, upper and lower nut assembly pairs.
