Steam has been utilised as a resource to power the heating systems. It has been expertly utilised to generate and distribute heat efficiently for industrial operations. But using steam for different system applications cannot be unwarranted. For optimal performance and safety in steam-based heating systems, it requires a key component and that is a steam strap. A steam trap function is to remove condensate and non-condensable gases from the steam lines. These gases have the tendency to clog the system as a result diminishing their efficiency and even causing damage to equipment. These devices have been designed to automatically open and close in response to the pressure and temperature changes. This action allows steam traps to eliminate the gases while allowing flow of steam. While there are different types of steam traps available like thermodynamic, thermostatic, etc. we will be focusing on mechanical steam traps. Let’s dive in to discover all about steam traps, particular th...

Commercial or industrial facilities need a proper fire protection system in place for safety and regulatory compliance. Among many components within the system, a fire water storage solution is one key that’s included. While there are many options available for fire suppression water storage, the galvanised steel water tanks takes the top spot. The galvanisation process to this tank makes them better performing and suited for fire safety systems. In this quick guide, we will cover key reasons why that makes these water tanks the best choice for fire water storage. What Is a Galvanised Steel Water Tank? Galvanised steel tank is a water storage container manufactured using the galvanisation process. In the process, the steel sheets are coated with zinc that ensures to prevent rusting on the metal underneath the coating. With corrosion resistant performance, the tanks also get extended service life. Aside from fire safety water storage , galvanised steel tanks are also opted for potable ...

Flexible Sprinkler Hoses with fittings make things easy for setting up fire protection systems. It is an assembly used for connecting the main water supply line to individual sprinkler heads. Compared to rigid pipes and other alternatives, the sprinkler flexible hose and fittings are popular for the fire safety system’s choice. While its popularity heavily relies on the ease of installation, there are other performance and safety perks that make it a preferred choice. With the use of flexible fire sprinkler hoses , consistent elevation is maintained in relation to the sprinkler and ceiling structure. Due to their flexible design, they are compatible with a variety of ceiling systems, making them a go-to option in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. But that isn’t all, there’s more to these hose with fittings solution. Explore how it keeps fire safety systems simple and efficiently maintained. Why Flexible Sprinkler Hose Installation Is Better Than Hard Pipes? The sprinkle...

Before any product goes into full-scale production, it has to go through the phases of multiple tests and refines. It is during this period, prototypes of the product are used that allow the team working on it to detect possible flaws, boost its functionality and lower risks of physical testing. Therefore, it makes complete sense the importance of prototypes in the manufacturing industry. 3D printing is prominently used for the making of prototypes, with its rapid and precise ability to create physical models from digital designs. Now, when it comes to 3D printing, one of the fastest growing and most capable technologies used is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). In fact, it is considered to be the second most used technology for 3D printing worldwide. Wonder what are the reasons behind its popularity? Let’s explore the benefits of SLS in the 3D printing and manufacturing industry.   What Is Selective Laser Sintering?   It is an additive manufacturing technique fo...

Access doors and panels are essential components in both residential and commercial spaces. They provide easy access to hidden mechanical systems, electrical wiring, plumbing, and other concealed areas.  They ensure functionality while maintaining a neat aesthetic. Installing an access door or panel might seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools, preparation, and steps, it can be a straightforward DIY project.  This guide walks you through everything you need to know for a successful installation. Why Install Access Doors and Panels? Access doors are more than just functional panels; they offer several benefits, including —  Easy Maintenance : Quick access to plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems for repairs and inspections. Aesthetic Appeal : Conceal unsightly components without compromising the overall design. Versatility : Suitable for walls, ceilings, or floors, depending on the type of access required. Safety : Prevent unauthorised access to sensitive sy...
