BSP parallel and BSP fastening and sealing threads for a variety of applications,
in class 150 and 3000. All our BSP threaded fittings are checked
with calibrated gauges during manufacture. Each batch
is further confirmed as being in compliance with the international
standard and before they are released into
the market, all products undergo a final visual and
dimensional inspection by thread profiling.
Bu
Tech High Pressure Components - System
components are available in every imaginable alloy to handle pressures form
vacuum to 150,000 PSI (10,000 bar) in tube and pipe sizes from 1/8" to
1" and temperatures from -423°F (-253°C) to

with this type of element and they offer high flow rates
with very low pressure drops.
Conversion Chart - Some useful conversions
Duplex
Stainless Steels - Duplex
Stainless Steels are unlike the 300 (Austenitic) and 400
(Ferritic) series of stainless steels in that they have a structure
consisting of approximately equal amounts of both
ferrite and austenite. Therefore, they are often referred
to as ferritic-austenitic stainless steels. With a
chromium content ranging from 18 to 28 percent, they
have improved passivity compared to standard grades.
The nickel content ranges from 4.5 to 8 percent which
is insufficient to promote a complete austenitic crystal
structure, hence the mixed ferrite-austenite
structure. Most grades contain molybdenum in the
range of 2.5 to 4 percent plus small amounts
of nitrogen – enhancing both strength
and pitting resistance.
Flanges
- A flange is designed to connect sections
of pipe, or to join a pipe to an assembly such as a pressure vessel, valve
or pump. Flanges are joined by bolting, and sealing is
completed with the use of gaskets, and fixed to the piping system
by welding or threading.
JIC
Fittings - JIC Fittings and
Adaptors provide a straightforward, positive,
mechanical seal. They have been used for many years for reliable
sealing in commercial, industrial and military applications. They are proven to
supply dependable, reusable connections under a
wide range of operating conditions including
extremes of vibration, temperature and shock.
Heat
Exchanger, Condensor &
Boiling Tubes - Useful technical datasheet

a supplier to the food industry. A
comprehensive range of BSM, Tri-clover and buttweld
fittings and valves are available throughout Australia,

products of equal quality, Prochem offers a highly efficient international
indenting facility as part of its package of services.
King
Instrument Company - King
Instrument Company offers a comprehensive line of variable
area flow metres including acrylic, polysulfone, glass
and metal tube metres. Optional alarms and 4-20 mA transmitter
available on selected models. See more technical information on ICEweb's
Flow page.
Manual
Sample Systems - Due to the growing
complexity of the industrial processes in general and more
specific for processes in the (petro)chemical and pharmaceutical industries,
the need for tests and analyses increases continuously. The
need for representative samples plays a critical role in ensuring product
verification. Yet sampling directly from the process often includes the
risk of exposure to the operator, as well as contamination and pollution
to the environment. The Manual Sample Systems method reduces
such risks with its patented design and simple method of operation.
NPT
Fittings - NPT fittings are designed for
high-pressure (class 3000 - class 6000) applications,
and have a distinctive profile for maximum strength. All
NPT products are checked with calibrated gauges
during the manufacturing process and each batch is further confirmed
as being in compliance with the international thread standard. Before
they are released into the market, each item is subject to a final visual
and dimensional inspection by thread profiling.
Materials used comply with ASTM A403 or
A182.
O'Brien
Tracepak - The economical choice to
field fabrication - Maintenance free TRACEPAK not
only saves money and time during the
installation process, but it ensures consistent,
repeatable performance. Field fabrication requires
a pipe fitter to lay out, measure, cut, dress, bend
and install the tubing. Next the tracer (steam or
electric) has to be installed and insulation put on
the tubing. Finally, a weatherproof covering needs
to be applied over the insulation. Clearly the
economics of the TRACEPAK system versus field
fabrication are significant.
O'Brien Analytical
- TrueTube is a family of tubing products developed to
provide best-of-breed performance in sample transport for process and emissions
analyzers. O’Brien Analytical starts with select grade tubing and enhances its
physical characteristics to improve dry-down, adsorption and corrosion
resistance. This is achieved by controlling surface roughness, cleanliness,
surface chemistry and reactive contaminants.
Offshore Oil and Gas Speciality Valves - Pacson Valves - These are high integrity valves specifically designed for the Oil and Gas Industry.
Offshore Oil and Gas Speciality Valves - ATC Actuators - The heart of the ATC actuator design is the revolutionary torque conversion mechanism combined with the integrated actuator spring. The simple operating principle offers a combination of high efficiency and small displacement, thereby creating greater design flexibility and improved reliability. This design flexibility, combined with the innovative integration of all actuator parts, results in the most compact actuator available in the market. In virtually all applications, irrespective of hydraulic or pneumatic supply, the ATC actuator diameter is smaller than the Face-to-Face dimension of the valve.
Specialist
Valving Solutions - BSM - Hard to obtain valves
need specialist engineering. These valves are manufactured in a wide
range of exotic materials to tight specifications..
Pipe
and Tube - Lots of very useful information here including
descriptions on seamless and welded, common pipe and tube terms, manufacturing
methods, nominal working pressures, pipe dimensions and weights, tube weights
and working pressures.
Prochem
Customised Manufacturing - Prochem's manufacturing base
includes pipe fittings in Exotic materials and Special Stainless Steels.
Pyplok
- Now you can have the benefits of a welded
joint, but without the hazards of hot work, using
the Tube-Mac PYPLOK® DM and DP40 Series. It’s
not only a permanent system, it goes on cold. This
means all of the risks and requirements associated “with hot work”
are avoided.
