'''Delphin''': A variation on the Ulmer pipe where the shank runs directly up the back of the bowl and there is no gap between the bowl and the shank. | |||
'''Delrin''': A brand name for polyoxymethylne or POM, also called acetal, polyacetal, or polyformaldehyde, delrin is a thermoplastic used by pipe makers as a material for non-integral stem tenons, and for screw-in tenons for meerschaum push/pull connections. Delrin is appreciated as a "self-lubricating" material, meaning that it has a low drag coefficient to interfere with the smooth passage of smoke, and for the ease of reliance on separate stems and tenons. | '''Delrin''': A brand name for polyoxymethylne or POM, also called acetal, polyacetal, or polyformaldehyde, delrin is a thermoplastic used by pipe makers as a material for non-integral stem tenons, and for screw-in tenons for meerschaum push/pull connections.
