Mag-drive pumps safely transfer hazardous fluids

Pump Engineering The 3M magnetically driven centrifugal pumps (photo) have no glands, seals or valves and therefore provide leak-free operation in heavy-duty operation, such as pumping heat transfer oils and liquefied gases, and at temperatures ranging from –150 to 450°C.…

A Thread and Gasket Sealant for Difficult Industrial Settings

Effective from – 100 to 600°F and capable of sealing liquids up to 10,000 psig and gases up to 3,000 psig, the PLS 2 thread and gasket sealer formula (photo) is an effective seal for a variety of demanding industrial…

Prevent Corrosion with this Additive for Hydraulic Fluids

UCON Advanta Hydrolube Concentrate is a new, patent-pending water glycol hydraulic-fluid technology that enables the production of formulations with "outstanding" shear stability when compared with conventional water glycol hydraulic fluids. The Concentrate is designed for hydraulic systems utilizing vane, gear…

This Diverter Valve has Advanced-Design Features

Available in full or standard port, the new 364 Series Diverter valve offers such features as "live-loaded" stem packing, ISO 5211 direct-mount actuation and a variety of seat options. Made to full ANSI class 600 dimensions, this Inline valve handles…

This Range of Valves Now Meets DIN Requirements

The new Jamesbury polymeric-seated flanged ball valves are now available in sizes DN15 – 150 in both full-bore and reduced bore. These valves conform to PED and ISO 17292 requirements, and feature a flexible-lip seat design that provides bi-directional shutoff…

This Long-Lasting Pumps Deliver Most Liquids from Drums

Made from high-performance polypropylene, these liquid-transfer pumps (photo, p. 32I-7) will safely deliver most solvents, acids, caustics and oils from 5–55-gal drums at a rate of 4 gal/min, depending on the viscosity. Typically, owners will need to change O-rings once…

Valves for controlling the flow of corrosive media

For applications requiring control valves that are capable of withstanding the effects of highly corrosive media, the Badger RC250 barstock valves (photo) are said to be the ideal choice. The valves are available in a range of materials, including stainless…

Cut costs when operating with this vertical pump

The Goulds VRS vertical rubber-lined cantilever sump pump 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 parts…

Achieve low pressures with this combination system

The Hydrotwin (photo) is a compact vacuum-pump package that guarantees a vacuum level down to 5 mbar (absolute) — previously not achievable by conventional stand-alone liquid-ring vacuum pumps, says the manufacturer. Capacities of up to 2,000 m3/h can be handled…

This three-way valve improves temperature control

This company has recently unveiled the GX 3-Way control valve (photo), which has the ability to accurately control the temperature of water, oils, steam, and other industrial fluids. Applications include heat exchangers and lubricating skids. The flow cavity of the…
