Seals from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies meet the demands of hygienic applications
Seals designed for hygienic applications, such as those designed for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industry, face assorted challenges. In addition to having to comply with a number of industry- and country-specific legal regulations, these seals are oftentimes in direct contact with the products being manufactured.
Watch: CSB releases animation of refinery explosion and fire
A corroded slide valve likely led to the inadvertent mixing of hydrocarbons with air that found an ignition source resulting in an explosion.
Vehicular CO2 emissions slashed with onboard capture and conversion scheme
Gas captured from the exhaust stream is liquefied and stored within the vehicle for future use as feedstock to produce gas or liquid green fuels and chemicals.
Raising ICE efficiency by spinning gas
Efficiency improvements and emission reductions can be realized by rapidly spinning gas inside internal combustion cylinders.
Hermetic Pumpen expands V-Line
The modular line of canned motor pumps for chemical and petrochemical industries has expanded.
Atlas Copco expands intelligent vacuum pump series for robust processes
The pump series is accompanied by a new app that enhances the remote monitoring and intelligence of vacuum pumps.
Watch: Design flaw, rules loophole cited in fatal helicopter accident
The tail of the front passenger’s harness tether caught on the helicopter’s fuel shutoff lever, resulting in a loss of engine power at an altitude of 1,900 feet.
Hydraulic Institute publishes pump application guideline for commercial building services
This guideline has been created to provide engineers, trainers, maintenance staff and plant operators with the knowledge necessary to effectively specify pumps in North America.
Hydraulic explosives compaction presses support America's national defense effort
Both law enforcement and the Department of Defense depend on hydraulic presses to create explosive compacts within their munitions. Savage hydraulic presses provide a safe solution for this dangerous process.
This school's gas valve looked to be closed, then it exploded
At the time of the explosion, workers were installing new piping as part of work to relocate gas meters from the basement of the building to the outside.
Brushless DC motors enable logistics automation solutions
Growing demand for cost-effective and efficient transportation solutions for the logistics sector shines a spotlight on the inherent benefits that BLDC motors provide.
QTL-A torque motor housing installation in 10 steps
Do you want to know how to install a torque motor? Find out in this video, which shows a housing installation method for Tecnotions QTL-motor with cooling ring.
Engineer's guide to gate valves and their configuration
Gate valves are linear motion valves with a flat closure element that slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. They are one of the most common valve types in use today and are excellent for use anywhere a shutoff valve is needed. Other common names for gate valves are knife valves and slide valves.
This AI-driven algorithm could help monitor bridge and dam health
Researchers developed an algorithm for monitoring the condition of bridges, dams and other infrastructure.
