Merge Stuffing box discuss Talk Stuffing box Merge discussion date January 2010 Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A gland is a general type of stuffing box , used to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft against a fluid. The most common example is in the head of a tap faucet where the gland is usually packed with string which has been soaked in tallow or similar grease. The gland nut allows the packing material to be compressed to form a watertight seal and prevent water leaking up the shaft when the tap is turned on. The gland at the rotating shaft of a centrifugal pump may be packed in a similar way and graphite grease used to accommodate continuous operation. The linear seal around the piston rod of a double acting steam piston is also known as a gland, particularly in marine applications. Likewise the shaft of a handpump or wind pump is sealed with a gland where the shaft exits the borehole. Other types of sealed connections without moving parts are also sometimes called glands for example, the point where an electrical flex exits a conduit is often sealed by an adjustable gland to facilitate assembly and to prevent water ingress. gallery Image Gland packing01.jpg Image Gland packing001.jpg Image Gland packing002.jpg Image Gland packing003.jpg gallery See also Compression seal fitting Labyrinth seal DEFAULTSORT Gland Category Plumbing Category Seals mechanical Mech engineering stub de Stopfbuchse eo topskatolo hu T m t persely nl Stopbuspakking ru tl Glandula ng makinarya tr Salmastra ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An oil gland is a Sebaceous gland sebaceous or sebiferous gland that secretes sebaceous matter. Oil glands are part of the body s integumentary system and serve to protect the body against germs. They are mainly situated in the Dermis corium or true skin. True oil glands secrete matter through a duct. Many creatures, such as fish, e.g., have oil glands. In mammals they serve as a protectant and lubricant for hair and skin. In birds it is located at the base of the tail, which also supplies oil that is spread upon the feathers during preening . Ductless glands Ductless gland s situated internally are not true oil glands, however, fishermen will often cleanse bottom feeding fish such as carp by removing an internal organ which is said to be the oil gland . Ductless internal organs are called glands, as well. Having no ducts, they tend to store substances which give a disagreeable taste to a cooked fish. Removing the oil gland from a carp prior to cooking removes some of the accumulated substances, some of which may also be toxic or harmful to a person who eats fish.

For example in the suprapedal gland of the land snail Pomatias elegans there are three types of gland cells cells producing mucoprotein s, cells producing protein s and cells producing sulphated mucopolysaccharides . ref Shirbhate R. & Cook A. 1987 .
