Hydraulic hose now much easier to connect
Hydraulic hose is much easier to connect and disconnect thanks to an ingenious new hydraulic coupling launched in the UK by Tom Parker of Preston.
The coupling's low-profile design makes them easy to handle and a convenient thumb-latch facilitates easy disconnects.
Sharp barb ends minimise turbulence and a shrouded seal prevents fluid-path contamination.
Their medical-grade, polysulphone construction is lightweight, replacing heavier metal couplings to remove extra weight from assemblies.
They meet the most stringent requirements such as USP class VI, MEM elution, agarose overlay, hemolysis in vitro, and USP physicochemical tests.
The durable MPU couplings will withstand autoclave, EtO, Gamma or E-beam sterilisation methods.
They will be used in the transfer of biomedia from large-capacity containers for media packaging, biopharmaceutical manufacturing as well as laboratory and other applications requiring easy, secure connection of 3/4in tubing.
The range includes caps and plugs for reliable closure in transit, removing the need to use unreliable tube clamps.
