Industrial valves control, isolate, and regulate the flow of liquids and gases. Their failure can result in severe equipment damage, injury, lost profit, and costly cleanup. Read on to find out how sealing in industrial valves can help solve your design concerns.
Implanted in the body, cardiac devices manage and monitor pacing, assist with ventricular pumping, and defibrillate the heart through the use of electrical pulses. Device lead interconnects must safely and reliably link the battery and electronics to the lead. Designs must support strict standards for implantables (IS-1, IS-4,, or DF-4), as well as VAD...
Performance requirements for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) equipment—including clinical, hematology, and urine analyzers—are outpacing capabilities. Increasingly, the IVD industry is seeking equipment that lasts at least three years or more compared with the existing standard one-year maintenance program. This demand for extended service life and less-frequent maintenance cycles is forcing design engineers to take a closer look...
Dialysis machine design is critical- nearly 3.4 million patients worldwide require regular dialysis treatment. These machines filter blood outside the body while controlling temperature, dialysate levels, and circulation.
Downhole tools and equipment are crucial to the success of the drilling process. These tools help monitor and direct the drill string. They also reach great depths, and cover long distances. Read through this presentation for information on how to improve sealing performance in these downhole tools.
