‘Pressure Vessels’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The BIW field-attachable packer feedthrough system launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions is designed to provide a faster method of passing power cables through packers.". 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 CPS Color - take a look at CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser which says: "CPS Color, a supplier of advanced tinting systems, has launched the Corob First 70 automatic dispenser.".

Take a look also at the news release from Able Instruments and Controls, Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter, as well as PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from PCB Piezotronics, and Solidworks CAD software used in blind car from SolidWorks Corporation.
