When designing a pump system, the way the unit is powered must come into consideration. The two most prominent ways of powering a pump are via electrical power or compressed air.
Traditional process stream carbon adsorption has utilized relatively large loose carbon granules. The carbon granules are typically held within replaceable filter canisters.
SMX Series of magnetically driven non-metallic pumps offer an innovative true self-priming design with no mechanical seals for years of trouble-free service.
Varnish is a common problem for a wide range of hydraulic fluids and lubricants, especially in turbine and plastic injection molding applications. It results in valve sticking, shorter fluid life, shorter filter life and unscheduled downtime.
Des-Case rolls out a new and improved, patent-pending breather construction. More desiccant and increased airflow without increasing the external dimensions of the breather.
Rotork Fairchild's all new PAX1 series Linear Actuator can be used alone or it can be paired with a variety of Fairchild time proven pressure regulators enabling remote control of the pneumatic pressure.
WIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
Pressure gauges in general can handle ambient temperatures as low as −40°F (−40°C). However, once you get closer to the Arctic Circle, temperatures exceeding −40°F become the norm.
Sometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter’s response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
Pressure and temperature instrument dials with big, bright numbers increase instrument visibility and readability. WIKA USA’s retro-reflective dial background makes it even easier to locate a critical installation among the sea of industrial gauges, adding to the speed of taking a correct reading.
