unreferenced date June 2011 Webbing is used to make military belts, packs and pouches, and by extension also refers to the items themselves, which is referred to as webbing equipment . The British Army adopted cotton webbing to replace leather after the Second Boer War although leather belts are still worn in more formal dress. The term is still used for a soldier s combat equipment, although cotton webbing has since been replaced with more advanced materials. The webbing system used by the British Army today is known as Personal Load Carrying Equipment . Webbing is designed to be light enough to carry the vital things needed in battle and for outdoor survival. It is made so that if the rucksack bergen is lost or abandoned, the soldier can survive on emergency rations carried in the webbing for up to 24 hours, although this can be extended if supplies are rationed. Typical contents of webbing include cooking equipment, 24 hours worth of rations, ammunition, first aid or survival supplies and sheltering equipment. Most webbing systems incorporate a degree of modular construction consisting of a yoke a type of shoulder harness , a belt and a variety of pouches specific to different tasks, for example pouches designed to carry ammunition magazines may have dividers or special waterproofing. Different combinations of pouches can be used to customise webbing to better suit the mission it is needed for. Generally it is unusual for western armies to fight with a bergen and so prior to an anticipated battle the bergen is usually stowed away from the forward edge of the battle area and webbing is used as the immediate load bearing equipment instead. Webbing belts are also used frequently by modern cadet and scout groups, as well as police and security forces. Category Personal military carrying equipment ... more details

Float Shoes and Collars float valve s prevent backflow after the cement has been pumped into place. Centralizers, Turbolizers and Scratchers Devices fitted with hinged collars and bow springs help keep the casing or liner in the center of the wellbore to help ensure efficient placement of a cement sheath around the casing string. If casing strings are cemented off center, there is a high risk that a channel of drilling fluid or contaminated cement will be left where the casing contacts the formation, creating an imperfect seal. ref http www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com Display.cfm?Term centralizer ref Turbolizers have added fins to stir up the drilling fluid and cement to keep the flow turbulent in order to make sure the cement flows all the way around the casing in order to prevent channeling. Scratchers use metal wires to scrape mud cake off permeable zones to help obtain a solid cement column. Float Shoe A rounded profile float shoe with an integral check valve attached to the bottom of a casing string prevents reverse flow, or U tubing, of cement slurry from the annulus into the casing or flow of wellbore fluids into the casing string as it is run. The float shoe also guides the casing toward the center of the hole to minimize hitting rock ledges or washouts as the casing is run into the wellbore. By floating casing in, hook weight is reduced. With controlled or partial fill up as the string is run, the casing string can be floated into position, precluding the need for the rig to carry the entire weight of the casing string ....
