Start with the news release
James Walker designs advanced seat material from
James Walker and Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from
Endevco: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Birchwood Casey
- take a look at Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion
which says: "Birchwood Casey offers a full line of eight different aqueous and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. ".
Take a look also at the news release from National Instruments, NI expands HIL simulation platform,
as well as Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems from Adaptaflex,
and Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform from Dassault Systemes.
