Benefit From Flexible Stainless Steel Hoses

Industries that use hose assemblies to transport harsher materials will tend to utilise the many benefits of a flexible metal hose. Hoses and pipes made out of stainless steel, the most common choice of hose material, will tend to be incredibly flexible and vary in shape and size. The stainless steel braided sleeve is highly resistant to the high temperatures and pressures required to transport certain materials from one point to another. Specifically, the hose will be fitted with crimped couplings that take a substantial amount of the pressure when the hose is in use.
Commonly, industries will use a standard rubber hose for transporting liquids and gases. But those industries that require a little more durability for transporting harsh chemicals or gases will utilise the robust strength found with stainless steel coated hoses that have additional reinforcement to withstand the aforementioned high pressures. This strength brings the hose a much longer life span and resistance against forming cracks and leaks.
It may not be obvious to some but the flexible metal hoses are often much lighter than standard hose materials that are available for use. However, this useful light weight material used for industrial hoses is not lacking in sturdiness. The stainless steel hose is incredibly resilient to alkaline and acidic chemicals, whilst also being resistant to oxidation when often exposed to water. This makes them incredibly useful within industries that deal with the transportation of corrosive fuel liquids and gases.

There are a wide variety of uses for braided stainless steel hoses and the many other types of flexible metal hoses within the various industries that may require them. The benefits are clear to see for those who may be undecided or daunted by the choices available. However, if you still remain daunted then contact your local hose testing and inspection company, for professional and expert advice.

What Is Oil and Gas Reservoir Evaluation?

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources Evaluation is a series of technical studies which are intended to add value to an oil and gas company’s operations pertaining to a particular prospect – as well as highlight issues which may prevent the prospect coming into fruition. Typically, an oil and gas reserves and resource evaluation consists of various technical studies, which tend to take place from an early exploration stage, onward to development planning and even utilised in project execution. Some of these technical studies are as follows. Seismic Processing and Imaging is taken on both pre and post stack processing sequences. Furthermore, there are a series of regional sedimentlogical, sequence-stratigraphic and structural exploration technical audits to carry out. Essential geological information such as sedimentology, facies, burial history, diagenesis and mineralogy is also taken into consideration in order to find the best possible evaluation result. All-in-all, the act of o

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com

What is AFM-IR?

AFM-IR , or atomic force microscopy based infrared spectroscopy is a form of chemical imaging which creates a visual image of components which make up chemicals, which uses extremely high powered microscopes. This is typically done with a radiation source to illuminate the sample which is being observed, as well as the usage of an AFM probe which detects thermal expansions from the radiation source. Also used is a high-powered imaging system to translate the probe’s movements into an image, and finally a detector array to categorise. AFM-IR places results in a three-dimensional block, which spans x and y dimensions. AFM-IR has enormous application in a whole variety of fields. Whether it is chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical agricultural or industrial use, the ability to analyse substances and work our properties is vital. AFM-IR has quickly become one of the most powerful and efficient ways to characterise material surfaces, especially at nanoscale resolution. Na
