Precision Polymer Engineering Detectaseal (photo) is a new, FDA-compliant, metal-detectable elastomer designed to help food companies reduce the risk of rubber contamination during processing. Detectaseal fragments as small as 2 mm can be identified by conventional inline metal detection equipment,…
Dolomite The glass microfluidic Y-Junction Chip (photo) enables liquid-liquid contact of immiscible fluid streams, as well as investigations into diffusion of molecules between parallel laminar flow streams. The compact size (22.5 x 15 mm) makes the chip compatible with the…
Designed especially for heavy slurry applications in the power and mining industries, the Series DX slurry knife-gate valve minimizes wear by reducing turbulence with reinforced elastomer sleeves that provide a 100% full port opening. The valve can provide drop-tight shut-off…
Samson Some of this leading control-valve manufacturers most prominent inventions include the metal bellows, which serve as a reliable dynamic sealing element, and the integral positioner attachment, which increases dependability and reduces risk of injury. The company manufactures control (photo)…
BETE An example of this firm’s development of customized spraying solutions is a recent application involving oil quenching in the production of ethylene. Ethylene feedstock is mixed with steam and heated to around 1,500°F in the pyrolysis furnace. Downstream of…
The patented Stainless Steel Trap Valve Station (TVS) is ideally suited for any steam piping installation. Since most of the piping joints needed to properly install a steam trap and shut-off valves are eliminated, typical required space is reduced by…
Conval The new double-length bellows valve completes this firms line of single- and double-bellows seal valves (photo). This new double-length bellows allows for the same zero emissions as the single bellows with over double the Cv in the same pipe…
Effective from – 100 to 600°F and capable of sealing liquids up to 10,000 psig and gases up to 3,000 psig, the PLS 2 thread and gasket sealer formula (photo) is an effective seal for a variety of demanding industrial…
UCON Advanta Hydrolube Concentrate is a new, patent-pending water glycol hydraulic-fluid technology that enables the production of formulations with "outstanding" shear stability when compared with conventional water glycol hydraulic fluids. The Concentrate is designed for hydraulic systems utilizing vane, gear…
This firm has expanded its line of thermoplastic ball valves to include larger pipe sizes. The true-union valves are designed for 3 and 4 in. piping, and are available in PVC, CPVC, PVDF and polypropylene. Standard seals are EPDM or…
