Tape Sealants These are thin strips of PTFE (teflon)/(polytetrafluoroethylene) tape that are wound around the threads. They provide a non-hardening, low-friction seal. Liquid Sealants These are liquid compounds that are applied directly to the threads. They cure to create a flexible and durable seal. They are available in various viscosities and compositions, such as anaerobic, […]

Vibration Resistance Thread lockers create a strong bond between the threads, preventing them from vibrating loose, even in environments with significant mechanical vibrations. Shock Absorption Thread lockers help absorb shocks and impacts that could otherwise cause fasteners to come loose. Sealing Some thread locker formulations also provide a sealing effect, helping to prevent leaks in […]

Proper Thread Engagement Ensure that the threads of the fitting and the corresponding component are fully engaged. Incomplete threading can lead to gaps that cause leaks. Use Teflon Tape or Thread Sealant Apply Teflon tape or thread sealant to the male threads before assembly. These materials help create a seal and prevent leaks in the […]

Preventing Contamination In systems where clean or sterile conditions are crucial, non-return valves prevent contaminated fluids from re-entering the system. Maintaining Pressure Non-return valves help maintain pressure levels by preventing fluids from flowing backward and causing pressure drops. Avoiding Pump Damage In pump systems, backflow can damage pumps and decrease their efficiency. Non-return valves protect […]

The primary difference between liquid-filled and air-filled pressure gauges lies in the filling medium used to dampen and protect the internal components of the gauge. This choice of filling medium can influence the gauge’s performance, accuracy, and suitability for specific applications. Liquid-Filled Pressure Gauges Liquid-filled pressure gauges are filled with a specialized liquid, often a […]

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of fluids, such as liquids or gases, through a system by using an electrical signal to open or close a valve mechanism. It’s a common component in various applications, including industrial processes, automation systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), irrigation, and more. Solenoid […]
