‘Aggressive Chemicals’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from Autoclave Engineers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Autoclave Engineers has designed a group of air-driven, positive-displacement, high-pressure liquid pumps for service with oil, water and chemicals. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Leak-free couplings aid nuclear decommissioning from Staubli UK (Connectors): "The larger sizes of Staubli's HCB dry break, non-spill connectors are particularly suitable for high-integrity bulk handling and filling applications where any leakage would be unacceptable. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK - take a look at Parker increases integrity of A-Lok tube fittings which says: "A Parker Hannifin production process based on stainless-steel extrusions is raising the quality and consistency of industry-standard compression tube fittings without increasing the costs. ".

Take a look also at the news release from HaydonKerk Motion Solutions, Haydon Kerk launches composite polymers, as well as CTS conference gives electrical equipment update from Cobham Technical Services, and Loctite adhesives achieve safety certification from Henkel Loctite Adhesives.
