New corrosion-reducing technology for stainless
The Seoul Waterworks Research Institute has developed a new technology to prevent stainless steel corrosion. This new technology took four years of research to develop and will be applicable for use on the global market.
Surtechs ISOJET III stainless weld cleaner
The new ISOJET III weld cleaner, available from Surtech, uses a thermochemical method to remove oxide layers from stainless steel, which is faster, less hazardous and more environmentally friendly than grinding, brushing, shot blasting and chemical processes with aggressive pickling pastes.
Alltites new H2H sparkless pump
When working in the oil and gas industry and dealing with wells, crews have often worked with electric pumps that spark and create ignition sources. To prevent dangerous explosions and well fires, crews have used methods such as fifty or one hundred foot long high-pressure hoses to keep the ignition source(s) far enough away from the well site to reduce the threat.
