Minimizing Leakage on Heat-Exchanger Girth Flanges

Thermal distortion in heat-exchanger internal components can lead to leakage, but several design measures can be taken to mitigate these concerns Leakage of bolted flange joints results in additional costs at any facility in the chemical process industries (CPI), and…

This company adds triplex pumps to its portfolio

This company has integrated the Finder Triplex Series pumps (photo) into its growing portfolio of transfer solutions for the energy and industrial markets. Finder Triplex Series pumps are highly reliable reciprocating plunger pumps specifically designed for a wide variety of…

New silicone tubing eliminates particulate shedding

AdvantaSil High Pressure unreinforced silicone tubing (photo) is designed to deliver increased flowrates and reduce processing time. The tubing’s unreinforced characteristic allows for limited pumpability up to 30 psi backpressure and makes it easier to see process fluids. AdvantaSil High…

A new binder for rotogravure paper coatings

Vinnapas EF 3101 is a new vinyl acetate-ethylene-copolymer (VAE) dispersion that has been developed specifically for rotogravure paper coatings. The binder has a high level of compressibility and develops a high degree of smoothness, enabling superior print quality, says the…

This pressure switch is freely configurable with scalable outputs

The new PSD-4 electronic pressure switch (photo, p. 34) enables flexibility in industrial applications because the output signals (PNP/NPN, 4–20 mA or 0–10 V) are freely configurable. The output signal, with a turndown of 5:1, can be scaled to the…

Screwdrivers with durable (and comfortable) handles

Cushion Grip is a new line of screwdrivers (photo) that features a durable tri-material cushion grip handle with an anti-peel design to ensure the grips will not fall off. Unique to the new Cushion Grip Screwdrivers is new-to-world tactile identification…

A breakthrough in “green” corrosion protection

BioPouch (photo) is a new, “green” vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor for protection of metal parts in a non-ventilating space. BioPouch is powered by the company’s NANO VpCI technology, primarily made from agricultural byproducts. NANO-VpCIs emit from the pouch and saturate the…

A modular vacuum gripper series with many independent gripping zones

The new MVG Modular Vacuum Gripper series (photo) can be tailored to desired sizes, and users can also configure: the vacuum generators; the gripping interfaces (foam or suction cups); and the vacuum level control (electronic vacuum switch or vacuum gauge).…

Industry-first controller for IIoT-enabled operations

Launched last month, the DeltaV PK controller (photo) makes the advanced automation of the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) available to fast-growth industries traditionally less reliant on large-scale automation. The next-generation controller provides scalable automation control to all process industries,…
