Apparatus that is used to drain water from a steam line while preventing steam from flowing through the trap.
Steam turbine
A device that converts high-pressure steam, produced in a boiler, into mechanical energy that can then be used to produce electricity by forcing blades in a cylinder to rotate and turn a generator shaft.
Steel
A hard, tough metal composed of iron alloyed with various small percentages of carbon and often other metals such as nickel, chromium, manganese, etc. to produce hardness and resistance to rusting. Carbon Steel is controlled by its carbon content. Alloy Steel is controlled by alloying elements, which are added to increase its corrosion resistance and high temperature strength, instead of the carbon content.
Steel bar clamp
Steel bar clamps are used primarily for light work. Steel clutch discs grip at any point along the bar and opening capacity ranges from 6 to 36 inches.
Steel beam
Structural steam beam with a letter I shaped cross-section. I-beams are used for support with long spans such as basement beams or over wide openings. I-beams should always be slightly larger than the calculated size, ensuring enough strength for the weight it will support.
Steel circular saw blade
Steel circular saw blades are the most economical types of circular saw blade. One drawback is that they must be sharpened often.
Steel construction
Building with its main structure of steel, which is used for very large or tall buildings.
Steel framing
Construction method used on commercial buildings, consisting of studs and rafters of shaped structural steel.
Steel wool
Steel fibers, in different degrees of coarseness, which are formed into a pad that resembles wool fibers. Steel wood can be used for such diverse applications as cleaning metal or smoothing wood.
