AI Thread Summary
For a small dispensing machine for beverages like tea, a sanitary metering pump is recommended for quick discharge of liquids. Gravity alone is insufficient for achieving the desired flow speed, making a pump necessary. Various brands and models are available on the market, specifically designed for beverage dispensing. Researching "sanitary metering pumps" will yield suitable options. This approach will help in finding the right pump for the project.

I was working on making a small dispensing machine for tea for a sort of extra-curricular competition and including a small pumping system for quick discharge of milk and water. I have seen some machines exist before that dispense tea, coffee etc. What small pumps do they use ? It's surely not gravity driven as gravity wouldn't impart that much speed to the flow as a pump would. Any specific name or brand for such kind of pumps so I can search the market out for their availability.

Regards

You will need a "sanitary" metering pump.

Try searching for this. Many companies make these.
 
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
