Parker-Hannifin This company offers heat-shrink coverings (photo, top) to protect process hoses both from contamination and overall wear and tear. Their colors can be used as a code to help identify hoses. Also from this firm are fire sleeves (photo,…
A new globe valve comes in a range of sizes
GEMÜ The new 537 manually operated globe valve (photo) uses the same valve body as the company’s 534 and 532 actuator designs. Valve bodies in nominal sizes DN 15–50 in cast-stainless-steel 1.4408 and SG iron GGG 40.3 (EN-GJS-400-18-LT) are available.…
This catalyst is designed for high-melt-flow applications
The D7000 Donor catalyst is designed specifically to optimize high-melt impact copolymer polypropylene resins, such as the plastic used in automotive interior and food contact applications. The catalyst is said to smooth and speed transitions between product grades and improve…
A tight connector for multiple tubes of microfluidic systems
The Mitos Inline Connector System (photo) provides a single, fast and reliable multi-way connection for microfluidic tubing. Available in three sizes (4-, 8- and 12-way), the connector operates over a wide temperature range (–15 to 250°C) and handles pressures up…
A new line of turbomolecular vacuum pumps
Pfeiffer Vacuum HiPace M (photo) is a new series of magnetically levitated turbopumps that cover the pumping speeds of 300, 700 and 800 L/s and achieve high compression ratios for all gases. A special rotor design delivers unlimited rotor service…
An air nozzle that resists corrosion and high temperature
Exair The ¾ NPT Super Air Nozzle (photo) delivers 4.5 lb of strong blowing force for blowoff, cooling and drying applications located in corrosive, high-temperature, food and pharmaceutical environments. According to the company, the force generated by the stainless-steel nozzle…
A Silcone Gasket that Properly Binds to Powder-Coated Metals
This firm’s silicone-foam gaskets, its closed-cell silicone sponge enclosure-gaskets and its cushioning-pads are now outfitted with two high-strength, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesives: A 3M 9485 acrylic adhesive for binding thick silicone-sponge gaskets to most metal surfaces and a 3M 9490LE acrylic…
