Pipe wrench

Hendrix, C. D. Through the Response Surface with Test Tube and Pipe Wrench, Chemtech 1980, 10, 488-497. 

Steel forged fittings with screwed ends may be installed without pipe dope in the threads and seal-welded (Fig. 10-130) to secure bubble-tight joints with a minimum of welders labor. They are not subject to deformation by pipe wrenches, and such couplings, bushings, and plugs are often used with the screwed fittings below. 

Troyan13 suggests that all pumps, compressors, turbines, and other equipment should be checked internally before they are turned on. He notes that such an inspection of a large gas compressor revealed rust and scale from nearby pipes, a welding rod, and a small pipe wrench within the cylinder itself. Starting up the compressor before these items were removed could have done enough damage that whole sections would need replacement. This could have delayed the startup for weeks or even months. 

Leaving the safety band in place, unscrew the warhead from the rocket with pipe wrenches, or wrench and a vise, as illustrated in Figures 51 and 52. 

Chaudry and Bhide [57] demonstrated a process for cleaning metallic surfaces contaminated by a spent-fuel radioactive wastewater stream. Using an aluminum cathode and tapwater as the electrolyte, a current density of 15 pA/cm on a contaminated pipe wrench made of mild steel (rendered anodic) reduced the radioactivity from 26 pGy/h to 0.26-0.39 pGy/h in 15 min. Similar results were obtained when studies were performed on contaminated aluminium plates.

A Pipe wrench will be needed to get the cap on tight enough to prevent leaking when it s heated. 

Now, almost fill up the pipe with a mixture of one part bromosafrole with eight to nine parts of the 20% alcoholic ammonia or methylamine solution. Then screw the top cap onto the pipe, and tighten it down with a pipe wrench, too. 

Once the pipe has cooled off after the cooking, it should be put in a vise, and the top screwed off with a pipe wrench. The contents should then be poured into a beaker. The color of the reaction mixture should be a semi-transparent brownish yellow. It contains MDA or MDMA in alcohol, along with unreacted ammonia or methylamine and the gunky by-products of the reaction. 

It should be possible to rotate the shaft by using a long handle pipe wrench in case it gets stuck. Once it comes unstuck it can be ran by an electric motor. This is to save the motor from high load at the start in sirch situatiorts (sufficient space should be available for introducing the pipe wrench)... 

Do not use defective wrenches, such as open-end and adjustable wrenches with spur jaws or pipe wrenches with dull teeth.

Basically, I just like climbing tall distillation towers and working with pipe wrenches and fittings. It s fun. I guess one element of troubleshooting is to think it s all a game, a challenge to be enjoyed. Honestly, I d do it for free.

Adjustable wrenches. Adjustable wrenches (keep a 6-inch and a 10-inch in your tool kit) will help you turn the hexagonal nuts of supply lines and compression fittings. They fill the middle ground between tongue-and-groove pliers and proper pipe wrenches. 

Pipe wrench. A pipe wrench is a serious hunk of metal. Its ingenious design allows it to lock on to round surfaces, tightening and loosening its teeth into soft iron fittings. Some repairs will require you to twist in opposite directions at once, so it s useful to have two or more pipe wrenches. A basic quiver should include one 10-inch, two l4-inch, and one 18-inch.
