How Pneumatic Air Sanders are Like Pneumatic Valves
A pneumatic orbital air sander is a power tool used for sanding wood. It is commonly found in workshops and wood shops. They are easy to operate, and it takes little time to learn how a sander works. Pneumatic air sanders save you a lot of time when sanding wood, compared to sanding by hand.…
Read MoreFlow Control Valve Systems in Anaesthesia Machines
When talking about a flow control valve, people tend to think of large water production plants or electricity plants that use flow control valves and other pneumatic valves. But not many people know that different types of pneumatic valves are used in anaesthesia machines. Anaesthesia is a sub-specialty in medicine that has adapted technology to…
Read MoreWhy Do Trucks and Buses Use Air Brakes?
The compressed air braking system is a type of friction brake for large vehicles, railroad cars, and other vehicles that carry heavy loads. Air brakes use compressed air that presses on a piston and then applies pressure to the brake pad to stop the vehicle. Air brakes use a pneumatic system or air rams rather…
Read MoreTire Pressure Gauges Work Just Like a Pressure Control Valve
If you own a car and you need to check the pressure of your tires, you probably have those pen-sized tire-pressure gauges. If you don’t, you then brought your car to an auto shop or petrol station, and you probably observed that their tire pressure gauges are bigger and look more like a pressure control…
Read MoreThe Role of the Pressure Control Valve in Water Heaters
The water heater temperature valve or pressure control valve is also called the T&P valve. It is the safety feature found on all water heater tanks. The valve must always be in good working order to ensure the water heater can operate safely in the event of extreme pressure build-up. The valve is designed to…
Read MoreFlow Control Valve and Other Applications in Sprinkler Systems
Big or small, sprinkler systems either for gardens or irrigation can be a bit confusing when it comes to maintenance. Whether you’re locating a flow control valve, understanding what the wires are for, or trying to analyse the controller, you need to understand all the necessary components of a typical lawn sprinkler system that is…
Read MoreHow Pneumatic Valves Make Jackhammers Work
Concrete and asphalt, made to last decades, sometimes need to be removed to make way for a new project. In mining, rocks need to be removed to make digging faster. Before the invention of jackhammers (sometimes called pneumatic drills), heavy metal-headed sledgehammers were used. Today, with the number of concrete and asphalt projects, there won’t…
Read MorePneumatic Air Rams are Found in Common Everyday Tools like Nail Guns
Pneumatic air rams, or more commonly known as pneumatic system, use pressurised gasses to power either a rotation rotor system or a reciprocating piston. By comparison, pneumatic hydraulic systems use liquids to apply pressurised power. Essentially, pneumatic systems work by compressing to a higher pressure that forces a spindle or piston to move. But while…
Read MorePneumatic Valves and Other Industrial Equipment Responses in a Post-COVID-19 World
Australia and most countries worldwide are experiencing the thawing down of lockdowns and strict health protocols. However, even as the industrial equipment distributors and manufacturers are starting to breathe sighs of relief, every response and capability must be in light of what is possible post-COVID-19, for better or worse. While pneumatic components and pneumatic valves…
Read MoreAir Rams: Industrial Equipment is Vital for the Economy During the Pandemic
The present pandemic crisis has turned into a global crisis, unprecedented in scale. No industry has escaped unscathed, even if those sectors are considered as essential. Industrial equipment is no exception. All types of industrial equipment are grappling with this health and economic crisis, as both manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain operations have been disrupted.…
Read MoreThe Importance of a Pressure Control Valve in the Water Supply Network
Challenged water distribution companies are committed to identifying and installing control mechanisms because of the rising cost of water leakage. The leakage problem has never been more prevalent than in this period of the coronavirus pandemic. Lockdowns and quarantines are forcing people to stay home or work from home, resulting in increased water consumption. To…
