  • 4 Factors When Selecting a Borehole Pump

    The performance and total cost of ownership of your borehole will depend on how much care was taken when selecting the right pump for that project. This article discusses some of the variables that determine the most appropriate pump for a given borehole installation. The Purpose of the Borehole The reason why you are drilling that borehole will determine the specifications of the pump that you place inside that borehole. For example, a borehole that will be used to supply water to a sprinkler irrigation system will require a pump that can supply limited amounts of water at very high pressure.

  • The Key Benefits of Santoprene TPV

    Santoprene thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPV) have several benefits over other plastic elastomers. This article discusses some of the benefits that you would enjoy if you selected this material for your manufacturing processes. Lower Weight Santoprene TPV is less dense when compared to the density of other plastic elastomers, such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). This lower density makes santoprene TPV easier to move from one stage of the manufacturing process to another.

  • A brief explanation of induction bending

    Induction bending is an important process in many industrial settings. Read on to learn more about it. What is induction bending? 'Induction Bending' is a term used to describe the process of using electrical heat to bend pipes into specific shapes. These pipes are usually made from metals or alloys. An induction coil (a coil which generates and transmits high voltage currents) is positioned around a piece of piping. The heat that the coil emits is then transmitted to the pipe.
