A gravity dam is a dam constructed from concrete or stone masonry and designed to hold back water by using only the weight of the material and its resistance against the foundation to oppose the horizontal pressure of water pushing against it. Gravity dams are designed so that each section of the dam is stable and independent of any other dam section.

marine

A piping system in which flow is accomplished solely by the difference between the height of the inlet end and the outlet end.

marine

A device consisting of a tripod, one leg of which acts as a rail for a sliding electrode holder. Once positioned and with the arc struck, the device welds automatically until the holder operates a trip at the bottom of the rail.
