Knapsack sprayer
A knapsack is a type of sprayer that disperses liquid through a hand-held nozzle
that is attached to a pressurized reservoir carried on the operators back. Knapsack
sprayers can be used to apply liquids such as fertilizers, herbicides and fungicides for
example and is suited to spot treating areas.
O' Ring
Also known as a toric joint in reference to its torus shape an O-ring is a gasket with
a circular-looped design that’s used to seal two working surfaces. The valve stems in
automotive engines, for example, often use O-rings to prevent oil from entering the
combustion chamber. The O-ring creates a air- and liquid-tight mating surface between
the valve stem and the valve guide. Without this small and otherwise simple component,
oil may leak into the valve guide.
Gasket
A Gasket is an elastomeric component that covers the intersection between two
surfaces. They are usually manufactured from a variety of materials, including rubber,
cork or paper, metal, copper, and foam. This flexible element can be used for a broad
scope of purposes due to its functionality. These include anti-vibration, packaging,
hygiene, noise and sound reduction, and most importantly, its most common use,
sealing.
