Data Logger
I have been in the oil and gas testing industry for over 24 years and found that one of the essential elements of testing is collecting data to create a snapshot of what occurred during the testing process. Testing is crucial when proving new designs and determining if component can withstand the elements before being […]

Product Spotlight: Maxpro’s High Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure relief valves are intended to protect system components from over pressurization. The pressure relief valve is often set at 10% over maximum system operating pressure to allow the system to operate up to the maximum working pressure rating. The maximum allowable working pressure for the system is based on the lowest rated system component. […]

Industrial Air Amplifier Design Factors
Air amplifiers are industrial equipment designed to increase air pressure to improve pneumatic tool operation. When centralized air pressure systems are insufficient to power air-driven tools, air amplifiers can fill localized demand. Depending on the type of unit, air amplifiers have various pressure and flow capabilities, ranging anywhere from 30 to 4,350 PSI. Because there […]
