Titan Enterprises said its turbine flowmeter range provides a useful tool for accurately measuring the flow of low viscosity fluids. Classic turbine flowmeters use propeller type turbines in a closed circular conduit. The turbine is mounted on low friction bearings and its rotation is detected through the chamber wall by one of a variety of detector types. These flowmeters... [Read More]

Warren Controls has updated its ValveWorks programme to improve the sizing and selection process for globe and rotary control valves based on international standards. The leading manufacturer of control valves and speciality fluid handling products, said the updates improved its ability to handle projects of greater complexity. The programme now includes a CLONE feature... [Read More]

Baker Hughes has launched its next generation onshore composite flexible pipes to address corrosion challenges in the oil and gas sectors.

A natural gas plant in the Middle East had a multi-stage, heavy duty vertical turbine pump in lean amine production that was continuously failing. Lean amine is an organic compound that can absorb hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from sour natural gas. The temperature of the (VS1), type 60-WUJ-2M, pump service ranged from 6C to 59C. The pump OEM had European... [Read More]

The Atrato and MetraFlow ultrasonic flowmeters from Titan Enterprises have been designed to enable manufacturers to streamline production and reduce costs. These devices measure the rate of flow of fluids with extraordinary levels of accuracy, helping drug manufacturers control small details that make a big difference during production. This production can often present... [Read More]

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT has created the PurgEye 1000 Weld Purge Monitor enabling operators to read weld purge gas level from a distance. The exposure to oxygen during the welding process on alloys such as stainless steel will result in discolouration and can severely reduce corrosion resistance properties. It is crucial that the oxygen level is monitored throughout... [Read More]

Filter manufacturer Amazon Filters has launched a new high-performance product range to support critical filtration processes in the oil and gas industries. SupaSep LGP is the latest evolution of the UK company’s liquid-gas coalescers, used extensively in cost-effective upstream, midstream and downstream operations. The new filters can be supplied complete in a bespoke... [Read More]

The presence of moisture on the joint surface can create porosity in the weld metal. It is important that the dew point is monitored so that welders are made aware when moisture is likely to be present. Innovators in weld purging at Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT have recently developed a Dew Point Sensor, a predication instrument of when water will form on metal... [Read More]

Rotork has updated the PAX range of actuators by adding an AC power variant of the PAX1 linear actuator. The wider PAX range is made up of a variety of linear actuators and motorised regulators. PAX1 units are flexible, low voltage actuators that are ideal for use in remote explosion proof locations. They offer a thrust output of up to 2,890 N (650 lbf), enabling control... [Read More]
