The Importance of Compatibility between Tubing and Autoclave Fittings

For a long period of time, threaded pipes have been the most common method of joining and sealing most fluid line systems. Not only are pipes simple to assemble but they are cost effective. On the other hand, pipes have many limitations. They are not bendable except for some specific situations where a direction change […]

Ensuring the Diaphragm Seal Pressure Gauge is Compatible with your Applications

A diaphragm seal pressure gauge makes use of chemical seals that isolate the pressure gauge, switch and transmitter from clogging and/or corrosive media. A standard material that is often used on the diaphragm seals is stainless steel however; other materials like carbon steel can be used based on the specific demands of the industrial application. […]

Ashcroft Pressure Gauges and their Importance to Productivity

Pressure gauges are important indicators whether system or component is functioning properly. It is critical to choose the right kind of ashcroft pressure gauges that cover a varying range of pressure from 01-10 bar, 0-1000 bar, etc. Selection of the right range will accurately report the required working pressure. For example if the ideal pressure […]

Avoiding Corrosion with the Use of Stainless Steel Fittings

Stainless steel fittings are of fundamental importance to many industries due to certain properties of corrosion-resistance and temperature-resistance not to mention its unmatched strength. Stainless steels resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance including its familiar luster makes it an ideal material for different applications from coils, tubing, sheets, plates, bars, fittings and wire used […]

Guidelines for Industrial Tubing Selection – High Pressure Tubing

No system integrity is considered complete without the critical link which is tubing. Tubing and fittings have been developed to work with different industrial applications that demand the utmost in product performance. Selection of tubing however, is based on compatibility of the tubing material with the media to be contained. High pressure tubing is particularly […]

The Specifications of Ashcroft Pressure Transducer for Diverse Applications

Pressure sensors otherwise known as pressure transducers are used for monitoring and controlling thousands of everyday applications from air conditioning, automobile, manufacturing, aviation, biomedical measurements, hydraulic measurements and many more. In the automotive industry pressure sensors form an integral part of the engine for safety since it monitors both the oil and coolant pressure and […]

Sanitary gauges are designed for applications in food, pharmaceutical and biotechnical industries where sanitary conditions are the priority. In the production of food and pharmaceuticals, safety of the public is the foremost concern. In the chain of processes within a plant, pressure measurement plays a key role; however, it is important that the design and […]

Considering all Pertinent Factors in the Choice for High Pressure Pumps

A lot of different machineries and equipment are used in industries and not all of them can be considered durable. Constantly having to replace equipment can be detrimental to a plant as it will certainly cause downtime not to mention the cost of repairs and replacement. When using high pressure pumps, it is essential to […]

Guidelines in High Pressure Fitting and Tubing Installations

Many tubing and fittings are designed to safely handle both high pressure and high temperature conditions with hazardous and corrosive fluids. In order to achieve proper performance, it is essential to ensure correct assembly and installation for high pressure fittings and tubing. Various industries require the applications of high pressure fittings and tubing particularly chemical […]

Ensuring the Structural Integrity of Reactor Vessels for Safety

Reactor vessels are the protective containment surrounding the nuclear fission core in a nuclear reactor. The vessel which is the central component of the reactor coolant system has a cylindrical shell with a spherical bottom head and a ring flange at the top. A closure head is bolted to the flange. It is typical for […]
