Replacing Needle Valves
Needle valves can be a blessing for design engineers, because you can easily dial in a required flow. But they can also be a malediction because those settings can be changed in the field by the customer, which can throw off the calibration of the device. Many engineers therefore opt for a fixed flow valve […]

The Right Material Aids Magnetic Drain Plug Redesign
For years, greasy handed mechanics have been dropping magnetic drain plugs and shattering the brittle magnets. Sintered magnetic materials, which are normally used to make these plugs, crack and chip easily. The AlNiCo and ceramic magnets might not even survive the manufacturing crimping processes that secure them in place. Engineers from General Plug and Manufacturing […]
