Manage Hydrogen Hazards in Plant Environments

Hydrogen is a combustible gas that is difficult to detect and easily ignitable on contact with open flames, electrical sparks or static discharge. This fast, ultrasonic gas-leak detector quickly detects the ultrasonic noise generated by the escaping gas at a…

Compressed Air Program Cuts Plant Energy Costs Up to 40%

Said to be the industry’s first intelligent, compressed-air-management program offering plant-wide analysis, realtime process control and pneumatic system design in a single integrated solution, the Norgren IQ program (photo) assesses both supply and demand of compressed air in plants and…

Cut costs when operating with this vertical pump

The Goulds VRS vertical rubber-lined canteliver sump pump (photo) is said to set new standards for energy efficiency and other costs. The VRS liners, impellers and casing halves are all interchangeable with the firm’s SRL horizontal pumps, resulting in reduced…

PTFE/PFA

Designed for pumping hazardous and chemically aggressive liquids, this seal-less PTFE/PFA-lined chemical pump complies with DIN EN 22858 and Atex. The pump provides virtually leak-free operation and unrestricted corrosion resistance, even at temperatures of 160°C and higher. The pump features…

Injection molding makes ceramic components for pumps

This ceramic-injection-molding company is able to provide solutions to wear, corrosion and temperature issues in existing parts and for new developments. The firm’s technical ceramics have very high chemical resistance and high hardness (>1.500 HV); issues with wear and corrosion…

Process viscous material with this kneading extruder

The Conterna (photo) is a continuous kneading and extrusion machine designed for processing highly viscous materials, such as plastic compounds with a high percentage of fillers. Besides plastics, the Conterna is also used in the food and chemical industry for…

This microfluidic chip offers rapid fluid mixing

The glass Mitos Micromixer Chip (photo) is designed for the rapid mixing of two or three fluid streams. Compatible with the Mitos four-way edge connector, this novel chip enables extremely rapid mixing across a wide range of flowrates. This chip…

Achieve lower air leakage with these rotary valves

Newly designed rotary valves for pneumatic conveying of granular products feature expanded tips at the ends of rotor blades to reduce air leakage. The valves have an increased number of blades, as well as redesigned air vents to help minimize…

Enhanced graphical software for better welding

Swagelok New software has recently been released for this firm’s welding system M200 power supply (photo) to deliver increased performance and an updated graphical interface. The portable M200 is easy to use and offers 200-A capability for orbital welding at…

These regulators suppress internal cylinder forces for safety

ESAB Welding and Cutting Products Purox and Oxweld oxygen cylinder regulators (photo) have a patented design that suppresses internal forces from a cylinder explosion within the cylinder walls. The design minimizes risk of injury in the event of an explosion.…
