Most manufacturing plants that use compressed air or that have the need to pump pressurized liquids use quick-connect couplings. Although not a major maintenance cost, the effects of improper coupling selection may cause unexpected problems in terms of productivity...
In short, a vacuum pump is a device that removes gas particles from inside a sealed container so that the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure 14.696 psi or 1013.25 mbar ( 760 Torr). After exploring the different features associated with this technology,...
Ergonomics — the science is making sure that everything you work with on a daily basis is both accessible and comfortable to use — isn’t a goal to be reached. It’s a process that we engage in with the goal of improving productivity and reducing injuries that come from...
Electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) is no laughing matter. We generally think of static shock as that tiny spark you feel when you scoot across the floor and then grab the metal doorknob — but humans are actually ridiculously insensitive to electricity. Compare...
When you remove the air from a closed space, you create a pressure differential between the inside of that closed space and the outside of the space. If the enclosure is strong enough, it will stand up to the pressure differential. If it’s strong enough but there’s a...
March, 1976: Joe: “What makes you think you can do the job?” Roy: “What do you think I am? Stupid?” Joe: “You’re hired.” And so began Roy Northcott’s employment with Peerless Engineering Sales Ltd. On September 30th, after 35 years of dedicated service, Roy is...
