lET’S TALK ABOUT VALVES AND FITTINGS
High Purity Valve Leak Testing
Leaking is a common issue for fluid systems and their components. Technically, it’s impossible for systems or products to be completely leak-free. However, in high purity applications, even a minor leak can have a detrimental effect on the smooth running of systems,...
Can Metering Valves Be Used as Shutoff Valves?
Metering valves are designed to provide accurate and stable flow rates in analytical and research applications. As metering valves are similar in construction to needle valves, a common question from customers is: can metering valves be used as shutoff valves? The...
The Construction of Pressure Regulators
What are Pressure Regulators? In industrial fluid systems, maintaining stable pressure control is critical to safe system operation. Pressure regulators reduce high inlet pressure and stabilize it at a lower level as demanded, and respond to outlet pressure changes to...
FITOK 20D Series Medium Pressure Tube Fitting
FITOK 20D series medium pressure tube fittings are widely used in oil and gas, chemical, power and hydrogen industries for their good performance such as the reliable sealing performance, high working pressure (up to 20,000 psig), high resistance to vibration and...
Benefits of Non-Welded Piping
As the name suggests Non-Welded Piping involves joining pipes using no welding. Ok, but how is it beneficial? Why not stick to traditional methods like welding? - You may ask. Well, let us explain them below:CLEAN Non Welded Piping Technology is clean as there is no...
FITOK Electropolished Tubing (EP Tubing)
Electropolishing is a process in which metal undergoes a special anodic treatment in an electrolytic solution to obtain a smooth and bright surface. Stainless steel electropolished tubing (EP tubing) is a product processed from bright annealed tubing (BA tubing) by...
How to Choose Pressure Regulators
Pressure regulators play an important role in fluid systems for a variety of applications by reducing inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure and keeping outlet pressure stable when inlet pressure fluctuates. Various factors need to be considered when selecting a...
Metal gasket face seal fittings and the semiconductor industry
Why do metal gasket face seal fittings meet the needs of the semiconductor industry? The semiconductor industry continues to pursue smaller and lower-power consumption chips, so the process nodes are getting smaller, which places higher demands on process cleanliness....
Safe and Sound Hydrogen Applications
To alleviate the global warming caused by accumulated greenhouse gas emissions, major economies in the world are committed to achieving the goals of "peak carbon emissions" and "carbon neutrality". Hydrogen, as one of the clean energy sources to replace traditional...
How to Use a Pressure Regulator Flow Chart
The pressure regulators adopt a special flow path structure (as shown in Figure 1). When the high pressure medium flows through the orifice from the inlet, the flow rate of the medium increases and the pressure decreases, thus achieving the purpose of pressure...
