Chemical compatibility offered by contemporary materials make new composite hoses ideal for transfer of a wide range of chemical and petroleum products. For example, non-polar polypropylene resists polar fluids such as methanol and sulfuric acid, and polar polyester resists non-polar fluids such as gasoline or aromatic fluids. Composite hoses, consisting of multiple layers of thermoplastic […]

Push-fit Tubing Replaces Welding
Not much has changed in industrial tube fitting design in the last 50 years,โ said Parker Instrumentationโs Kevin Ballard. Until recently, shipbuilders were often locked into using welded tube fittings in applications requiring leak protection above approximately 6,000 psi (413 bar). The multiple profiles mean that each sealing point bears less pressure than a traditional […]
