New Val-Matic Swing-Flex® & Surgebuster® Check Valves
Val-Matic has introduced two new check valves, the Swing-Flex® and the Surgebuster®. Both valves are designed for years of maintenance-free service and feature a short, 35° stroke to minimize slam-related surges by closing quickly.
Thermal Imaging Camera For Your Smart Phone
CompactPRO is an advanced thermal imaging camera designed to plug into your smartphone. Use with your iPhone or Android phone to get high resolution thermal images.
Processes Enabling Nanomanufacturing
The processes that nanomanufacturing engineers use to fabricate nanomaterials, nanoelectronic devices and other nanotechnology products depend on their nanotechnology approach and the specific nanotechnology product being manufactured. Two major approaches to nanomanufacturing are top down and bottom up. Nanofabrication processes enable the bottom-up approach. Nanoimprinting and self-assembly processes are newer nanofabrication processes under development. Powder and particle fabrication methods enable the top-down approach.
New Research on Turbulence May Lead to Cleaner Coal Plants
Researchers from RWTH Aachen University’s Institute of Aerodynamics (AIA) have been studying the use of computation to understand turbulence. The researchers now think they may have just found a solution for cleaner coal plants.
Monolithic Box Culverts from Oldcastle Precast
Monolithic box culverts from Oldcastle Precast are one-piece, rectangular, four-sided concrete structures used in managing and storing storm water or natural water sources that need to circumvent built structures, such as a roadway that is built over a stream.
New Ecofriendly Waterproofing Materials Developed
A new type of waterproofing and antifouling/fogging materials has been developed by Swansea University scientists in the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI). This material could replace the expensive and hazardous materials that are currently in use.
Sandcastles Inspired New Technique to 3-D Print Silicone Rubber
Researchers at North Carolina State University used an unlikely inspiration to 3-D printing of flexible and porous silicone rubber structures: the principles behind making sandcastles with wet sand.
Fluoropolymer Membranes That Fit Venting Applications
Saint-Gobain’s ZITEX G is ideal for venting applications and others, including electrochemical gas sensors, gasketing, and chemical filtering in harsh environments. Based on a porous form of PTFE, it takes advantage of that fluoropolymer’s outstanding non-wetting attributes due to its low surface tension.
New Fabric Coating Resistant to Chemical Weapons
Scientists have developed a way to attach a light coating to fabrics that is capable of neutralizing some of the toxins released and delivered through the skin in chemical warfare. This technology could save lives in a chemical attack.
Parker Releases High Flow Proportional Valve VSO MAX HP model 4
The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced the VSO MAX HP, the newest model to its line of miniature high pressure high flow proportional valve series.
Scroll Compressors For Use With R1234 Refrigerants
The new CSH series, which is based on the proven design elements of the innovative BITZER compact screw, is certified to use some of the most up-to-date and environmentally friendly refrigerants.
Advancing Wastewater Management with Lower CAPEX and OPEX
Successful diffusion of advanced wastewater management technologies depends on a reduction in CAPEX and OPEX.
Smaller Footprint for Ballast Water Management System
The modular system is mounted on a 2m x 1.5m, easy to install skid and is capable of treating flow rates of up to 6,000m3/h.
How it Works: Crushers, Grinding Mills and Pulverizers
Crushers, grinding mills and pulverizers are types of grinding equipment that transform or reduce a coarse material such as stone, coal, or slag into a smaller, finer material.
Horizontal Pump Installation for More Versatility
The pumps are for applications in water distribution, water treatment, cooling water supply, boiler feed, and pressure boosting.
Boil Off Gas Compressor for LNG-fueled Vessels
The system offers both financial and environmental benefits for users, including energy efficiency gains and fuel cost reductions.
Omal Introduces New Ball Valve for Chemical Applications
Omal has introduced the Pro-Chemie 60 stainless steel ball valve specifically designed for the chemical industry.
Belt-fed Digital Sorter for Food Processors
The unit maximizes detection and removal of foreign material and product defects while minimizing false rejects to enhance product quality and increase yields.
Ribbon Blenders for Specialty Applications
The equipment is suitable for mixing powders, granules, and other dry solids, as well as wet applications including suspensions, slurries, and pastes.
Calibrate your Durometer In-house
Rex Gauge Co.'s RDC-1 durometer calibrator was designed to help durometer users obtain in-house calibration ability. The calibrator comes complete with weights for calibrating springloads of gauges in the A, B, C, D, DO and O durometer scales.
