‘Graphite’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Graphalloy bushings are flange-block mounted from Graphite Metallizing Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "A series of Graphalloy self-lubricating bushings mounted in stainless-steel flange blocks is now available from Graphite Metallizing Corporation. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations from BNS Nuclear Services: "Increasing graphite core inspection requirements has led to a British Energy review of how to approach the inspection of its AGR reactor channels without extending reactor outages. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Kabelschlepp Metool - take a look at Kabelschlepp cable carriers reduce ESD risk which says: "Due to their low surface resistance, the ESD cable carriers from Kabelschlepp significantly reduce the risk of ESD. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Flexitallic, Flexitallic compression packings are asbestos free, as well as Thermiculite sealing deals with high temperatures from Flexitallic, and DJL Engineering invests in Axiom Too CMM from Aberlink.
