What is 'air lock' 🧑‍🔧

In this article, I'd like to discuss "What is 'air lock'". Let's look at what it is and how to respond to some frequently asked questions.

So the fastest answer is…

A chamber capable of being hermetically sealed that provides for passage between two places of different pressure, such as between an altitude chamber and the outside atmosphere, or between the outside atmosphere and the work area in a tunnel or shaft being excavated through soil subjected to water pressure higher than atmospheric. Also: An air bubble in a pipeline which impedes liquid flow. Also: A depression on the surface of a molded plastic part that results from air trapped between the surface of the mold and the plastic.

’Air lock’ may be a constriction in flow that happens when a gas gets trapped in a pipe.

’Air lock’ may also be a device that permits passage between regions of differing air pressures, most often used for passage between atmospheric pressure and chambers in which the air is compressed.

These are questions that people still ask:

Air lock

What does air lock mean...

Definition of air lock 1 : an intermediate chamber with two airtight doors or openings to permit passage between two dissimilar spaces (such as two places of unequal atmospheric pressure) 2 : a stoppage of flow caused by air being in a part where liquid ought to circulate.
