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.

Understanding Sizing of Semi-Metallic Gaskets When Replacing Soft Gaskets

Sizing Semi-Metallic Gaskets When Replacing Soft Gaskets When replacing soft gaskets with semi-metallic gaskets, it's important to understand the sizing differences and considerations. The following guidelines provide suggested dimensions based on experience to help you choose the appropriate non-metallic gasket size to replace a soft gasket. These sizings are not mandatory but serve as useful recommendations. 1. When Flange Dimensions Are Provided If the customer provides the dimensions of the flange, the following guidelines can be used to determine the appropriate gasket size: Gasket Inner Diameter (I.D.) : The inner diameter of the gasket should be the bore size of the flange plus a minimum of 1/8". Gasket Outer Diameter (O.D.) : The outer diameter can be up to the bolt hole circle diameter minus one bolt hole diameter. This applies when the proposed gasket width corresponds to the standard width of semi-metallic gaskets, which is typically 1/2", 3/4...

6 Reasons Why Removable Insulation Covers Are Essential in Hospitals

    Why Removable Insulation Covers Are a Smart Investment for Hospitals In the complex environment of a hospital, efficiency, safety, and cost management are crucial. Every decision made must prioritize patient care, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. While often overlooked, insulation in hospitals plays a critical role in maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. One of the most effective and versatile solutions is the use of removable insulation covers, also known as removable insulation jackets. These covers are a smart investment for any healthcare facility, offering a range of benefits that directly impact the hospital’s bottom line and overall performance. 1. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings Hospitals operate 24/7, making energy consumption a significant cost factor. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, along with various mechanical equipment, consume vast amounts of energy. Uninsulated or poorly insulated equipment can lead...

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 ...
