New tool for pulsation analysis in piping systems

This company has launched its Pulsation Frequency Analysis (PFA) module as an addition to its waterhammer-analysis software AFS Impulse. The PFA module extends the Impulse software so that engineers can more readily analyze and model pulsation in piping systems to…

Diamond-based coatings increase service life of high-wear surfaces

This company's patented ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) coatings for seals, bearings and other high-wear surfaces in rotating equipment have demonstrated the ability to greatly expand equipment performance capabilities in many field applications. UNCD, a form of nanocrystalline diamond, captures many of…

A liquid-ring compressor with conical porting

Maxima-C bare-shaft double-acting liquid-ring compressors are suitable for compressing contaminated and corrosive process gases because of their ability to handle saturated gas mixtures and large amounts of liquid carried over from the process. Designed for heavy-duty applications, with low operating…

Dual-functioning product can be mixed as a repair mortar or grout

MasterEmaco T 5000 repair mortar and grout is resistant to a wide range of industrial chemicals. MasterEmaco T5000 is a multi-functional solution used to repair damaged concrete or to grout smaller equipment that will experience varying levels of chemical exposure.…

An online content repository for mechanical-seal best practices

The FSA’s recently launched website feature, KnowledgeBase (www.fsaknowledgebase.org), provides content and informational videos as a service for manufacturers and users of mechanical seals. This digital knowledge base provides easy navigation to key information to educate and inform users of best…

Non-contact gas bearings improve rotor balancing

Bently Bearings are pressurized air bearings that provide non-contact support for rotors during balancing operations. Specifically, the device produces a consistent signal that is exactly the same for each revolution, allowing for finer resolution during balancing operations, says the company.…

High-efficiency variable-speed drive for compressors and pumps

The VECO-Drive (photo) is an electric superimposing gear that combines a mechanical planetary gear with frequency-controlled servo motors. The electrical superimposing gear is said to be the most efficient way to make speed variable. The servo motors used to drive…

An all-inclusive solution for lubrication management

The LUBExpert acoustic lubrication solution’s (photo) intelligent algorithms guide technologists and operators during and after re-greasing tasks, resulting in optimal lubrication parameters on all assets. LUBExpert monitors each stroke of grease and its effect on bearing friction and temperature, and…

Locate and classify leaks quickly with this handheld device

The Sonochek ultrasonic testing device (photo) localizes specific leaks on high-pressure pipes and evaluates total loss volume. Its broad bandwidth of 20 to 100 kHz allows leaks on compressed-gas and air pipes to be tracked, even from a distance. The…

An integral-gear design boosts these air compressors’ efficiency

AeroBlock (photo) is a standardized air compressor that is designed with integral-gear (IG) compression technology, and its standardized design ensures consistency without the need for specialized parts, which enables faster turnaround and support. AeroBlock compressors achieve flowrates up to 54,000…
