    New stainless steel grades which may be considered as alternatives to the more traditional and widely known varieties are emerging
Product (12)
  • Stainless steel plate heat exchangers
    The Mueller Accu-Therm Plate Heat Exchangers range has been expanded to include all stainless steel components, providing industry and manufacturers with the option of hygienic, maintenance-free heat exchangers.
  • Improve safety and reliability with custom manifolds
    Custom Fluidpower Manifold's systems provide the user with versatility in design. With space-saving and weight-reduction benefits, the company's manifolds are suitable for any system that requires reliability and serviceability.
  • Modular heat exchanger
    The high-flow Dimpleflo Modublock heat exchanger is suitable for processing large volumes, up to 200 t of product/h and is capable of handling pressures of up to 580 psi/40 bar.
  • Non-return valve
    The Norval cone and diaphragm non-return valve has design features which practically approach the optimum to both the main function of the 'check valve' and the many secondary important factors which surround it.
  • Quick-lock connector
    The M12 standard is currently the predominant standard as far as actuator and sensor wiring is concerned in the machine installation area. There are now many different M12 systems with quick-lock connectors on the market. However, most of these systems do not have a quick-lock connector that can be used with standard sensors.
  • Mechanical seal
    The Flowserve QBQ LZ contacting-face mechanical seal features Precision Face Topography and a wavy face seal design. It provides good sealing with low emissions and is suitable for pumps in light hydrocarbon service at low vapour pressure margins.
  • Tube manipulation centre
    The Stauff Tube Manipulation Centre provides services for bending of both metric and imperial seamless tubing for metric sizes 6 through to 42 mm and imperial sizes ¼ through to 2".
  • Couplings
    The Heli-Cal Flexure is a flexible helix (curved) beam machined from one piece of material into a specific configuration that incorporates special design and performance features. In the format of a coupling, u-joint or precision machined spring, the 'flexure' can be manufactured into a variety of shapes and sizes for use in a range of applications.
  • Shaft collars resist corrosion
    Ruland's range of smooth bore shaft collars in 316 stainless steel is particularly suitable for medical, food processing and pharmaceutical applications where washdown is required and contamination from corrosion must be avoided. A high level of resistance to chloride corrosion makes these shaft collars suitable for marine applications as well.
  • Pneumatic rotary distributor
    Schunk GmbH has released the DDF-SE range of pneumatic rotary distributors which provide up to four compressed air and six electrical feed-throughs for stationary applications in machines and automation systems. Suitable for applications where it is necessary to pass electrical and pneumatic lines through elements that rotate by more than 360°, the rotary distributor can be easily mounted to any machine or equipment. Rotary distributors can supply chucks, gripper systems, electrical switches and other elements that require air and electrical feeds while rotating.
  • Tube fittings
    The Value Plastics 600 series tube fittings are designed specifically to exceed application requirements for single-use disposable liquid transport and transfer systems. They complement Value Plastics' existing offering of 500 series fittings in sizes to fit 3/8 to 1" tube IDs.
  • Tubing for petrochemical industry
    In the peristaltic pump industry, different techniques and materials have been tried and tested to tame hose degradation in petrochemical applications. Verder undertook the challenge to identify and design a solution for safe and efficient handling of most petroleum-based products. Moving away from traditional hose materials such as natural rubber (NR), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber (EPDM) and even Hypalon inner layers, Verder found the answer in tubing technology.

  • Pipeline testing, maintenance and safety
    Maintenance of pipelines can be a tricky business. Sealing and testing operations need to be conducted not only with complete safety and environmental security but also with considerable speed, to maintain flows of liquids and gases.
  • Leak detection advances using fibre optics
    Imagine being able to monitor your pipeline the entire length with thousands of monitoring points providing a near real-time picture of what’s actually happening — with fibre-optic technology, this can be a reality.
