Many industries rely on valves to control, regulate, and direct fluid movement through pipes, pumps, and other passageways. In industrial valve applications, bolts are subject to corrosion, weather/elements, high-contaminants and particulates that can cause premature failure. Loss of bolt tension poses severe risks in high-pressure applications, including the release of ...
All valves leak to some extent, and more than half of industrial fugitive emissions generate from leaks at the valve stem. Leaks often go undetected until the next scheduled maintenance. This is not only dangerous but can result in costly fees and EPA enforcement actions. Preventing fugitive emissions and other ...
High-Performance Belleville Spring Washers in Metric & Imperial Sizes Belleville spring washer, coned disc spring, and conical spring washer are all names for a type of spring that is a conically shaped disc that deflects (flattens) at a given rate. As a leading manufacturer of conical Belleville springs & washers ...
Electrical connections are often made up of materials that have various coefficients of thermal expansion. Additionally, the joint materials also carry more current than the bolts, causing the joint to heat up more than the bolts. The resultant differential thermal expansion (DTE) results in an increase in bolt load, which ...
Belleville Spring Washers For Flange Applications Live loading, a process imperative to controlling gasket leaks in piping and refining operations, depends on mission-critical performance. Solon Flange Washers are designed to maintain sufficient bolt tension and resultant gasket stresses in high-temperature and high-pressure applications where safety and emission containment take priority. Our flange ...
