The illustrated device is designed as a __________. See illustration GS-0099.
• Flow path and shape of the internal passages – are they designed for separation/settling or for accelerating and discharging a fluid? • Presence of a lever, spring, and valve arrangement – think about what kind of device is manually operated this way. • The long tapered chamber – consider whether this resembles a resonating/sounding chamber or a settling tank/baffle space.
• Look at how fluid would enter at the bottom and move through the nozzle area toward the large tapered section. What function would that flow pattern best support? • Ask yourself which of the listed devices would normally have a manual operating lever and spring-loaded valve like the one labeled near J and K. • Does the interior look like it’s designed to keep two phases apart (with baffles and drains), to mix and pump another liquid, or to create/shape a jet or sound?
• Identify whether there is a discharge outlet for separated liquids (like separate water and oil drains). • Check if there is a nozzle or orifice that would create a high‑velocity jet into a larger chamber – common in certain signaling or jet devices. • Verify whether the internal volume and shape look more like a resonator/cone than like a tank or piping arrangement for separation.
