American Society of Mechanical Engineers

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an American professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, an advocacy organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization.

Bernoulli's principle

Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, speed and height.

See Faucet aerator and Bernoulli's principle

Discharge (hydrology)

In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m3/h or ft3/h) of a stream.

See Faucet aerator and Discharge (hydrology)

Elie Aghnides

Elie Prodromou Aghnides (1901–1988) was a Greek engineer and inventor, best known for his invention of the faucet aerator.

LEED

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program used worldwide.

See Faucet aerator and LEED

Pressure regulator

A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure.

See Faucet aerator and Pressure regulator

Tap (valve)

A tap (also spigot or faucet: see usage variations) is a valve controlling the release of a fluid. Faucet aerator and tap (valve) are Plumbing and valves.

See Faucet aerator and Tap (valve)

Water conservation

Water conservation aims to sustainably manage the natural resource of fresh water, protect the hydrosphere, and meet current and future human demand.

See Faucet aerator and Water conservation

WELS rating

The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standard (WELS) scheme is an Australian Government urban water conservation program.
