DO NOT MACHINE COLD OR HOT THERMOPLASTICS

 




DO NOT MACHINE COLD OR HOT THERMOPLASTICS

by: RedOps / Robco


  • When receiving thermoplastic sheets, rods, tubes, etc...
  • Do not begin machining them until they have been allowed to sit at room temperature 24 hours.
  • This will allow the thermoplastic to regain its nominal dimensions. This is inherent in thermoplastics, since they expand and contract with temperature.







NE PAS USINER LES THERMOPLASTIQUES À FROID OU À CHAUD

par : RedOps / Robco

 

  •  Lors de la réception de feuilles thermoplastiques, tiges, tubes, etc...
  •  Ne commencez pas à les usiner avant de les laisser reposer à température ambiante pendant 24 heures.
  • Cela permettra au thermoplastique de retrouver ses dimensions nominales. Ceci est inhérent aux thermoplastiques, car ils se dilatent et se contractent avec la température.

Seal Durability: How Temperature and Pressure Influence Performance

  Understanding the Impact of Temperature and Pressure on Seal Performance An In-depth Look at How Different Temperature and Pressure Conditions Affect the Performance and Lifespan of Various Sealing Materials In the world of industrial fluid sealing, understanding how temperature and pressure impact seal performance is crucial. Seals are designed to prevent leakage, ensuring that fluids remain contained within a system. However, the conditions under which they operate can significantly influence their effectiveness and longevity. Let's delve into how different temperature and pressure conditions affect the performance and lifespan of commonly used sealing materials. Temperature: The Heat Factor Temperature extremes can greatly influence seal performance. Both high and low temperatures can cause material deformation, chemical breakdown, and loss of elasticity, leading to seal failure. Here's how different materials react: 1. Elastomers: High Temperatures: Elastomers lik...

6 raisons pour lesquelles vous avez besoin de couvertures chauffantes sur vos conteneurs de liquides industriels pendant l'hiver

    Les avantages des couvertures chauffantes pour les liquides industriels pendant les hivers rigoureux du Canada Lorsqu'il s'agit de gérer des liquides industriels pendant les rudes hivers canadiens, maintenir la bonne température est essentiel pour garantir l'efficacité et la sécurité. Que vous stockiez ou transportiez des produits chimiques, des huiles, des adhésifs ou d'autres matériaux sensibles dans des fûts, seaux ou cuves, les conditions de gel peuvent gravement affecter leur viscosité, leur utilisabilité et même causer des dommages irréversibles. Une solution pratique à ce problème est l'utilisation de couvertures chauffantes. Voici pourquoi elles sont indispensables pour les applications industrielles. 1. Prévention du gel et maintien du flux Les hivers canadiens apportent souvent des températures sous zéro, ce qui peut entraîner le gel des liquides industriels ou les rendre trop visqueux pour être efficacement utilisés. Les couvertures chauffantes ...

Bolted flange joint assembly guidelines from ASME PCC1-2019

  ASME PCC1-2019 : technical notes about sealing performance Lotfi Grine, Eng. – Product Specialist at Robco   In the following technical notes, you will find valuable technical extracts from the ASME PCC1 2019 ( bolted flange joint assembly (BFJA) guidelines) to help better understand sealing behaviour and produce a positive seal. - Calculating Target Torque Values are based on the root area. The root areas are based on coarse-thread series for sizes 1 in. and smaller with 8-pitch thread series for sizes 1 1/8  in. and larger (Section H). - The major long-term value of coated bolts is to protect against corrosion of the exposed threads and to minimize break-out and nut-removal torque, thereby promoting ease of joint disassembly (Section 7). - Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requires that nuts engage the threads for the full depth of the nut (Section 8.2).   - Start-up re-torque is performed when the temperature of ...
