     Hydraulic lime, quicklime obtained from hydraulic
        limestone, and used for cementing under water, etc.
  
     Hydraulic limestone, a limestone which contains some clay,
        and which yields a quicklime that will set, or form a
        firm, strong mass, under water.
  
     Hydraulic main (Gas Works), a horizontal pipe containing
        water at the bottom into which the ends of the pipes from
        the retorts dip, for passing the gas through water in
        order to remove ammonia.
  
     Hydraulic mining, a system of mining in which the force of

     Hydraulic ram, a machine for raising water by means of the
        energy of the moving water of which a portion is to be
        raised. When the rush of water through the main pipe d
        shuts the valve at a, the momentum of the current thus
        suddenly checked forces part of it into the air chamber b,
        and up the pipe c, its return being prevented by a valve
        at the entrance to the air chamber, while the dropping of
        the valve a by its own weight allows another rush through
        the main pipe, and so on alternately.
  
     Hydraulic valve. (Mach.)
     (a) A valve for regulating the distribution of water in the
         cylinders of hydraulic elevators, cranes, etc.
     (b) (Gas Works) An inverted cup with a partition dipping into
         water, for opening or closing communication between two
         gas mains, the open ends of which protrude about the
         water.
