Production Fastening Systems LLC (PFS), a New Orleans based stud welding distributor, has announced AWC Inc. as its marketing and distribution centre for its newly launched Tube Separation Assembly, a product that helps reduce and prevent crevice corrosion for pneumatic tubing for offshore / onshore production facilities and petrochemical industries. Through the use of a half round I-rod, a durable thermoplastic, and grade 316 stainless steel separators, the round-to-round surface design of the T-SEP helps to avoid contact with the tubing and prevent build-up of corrosive liquids at the point of separation of the tubing, allowing corrosive elements to escape. The assembly also includes a 1in wide by 1/4in thick flat bar in either grade 316 stainless steel or grade 6061 aluminum, as well as grade 316 stainless steel mounting hardware.
