Bellows: Hydro-Formed vs. Edge-Welded
Metal bellows have been in use for centuries. Over the years, they have been major components in sealing applications and demanding sensing for industries. They are the perfect solution for dealing with pressure or installation issues. Bellows can convert the changes in their internal and external pressures. They can deflect elastically to respond and contain the force applied to them and, in turn, exert a reactive force. Metal bellows come in two types; hydro-formed and edge-welded. This article will delve...

O-Ring Seals And Design Considerations
An O-ring is a tubular piece of material, either an elastomer or metal, with a cross-section in the shape of a circle that can be compressed to fit tightly into a circular grove and seal against the sides of the track. An O-ring, also known as a packing, is a flexible gasket in the shape of a loop — it is a elastomer with a round cross-section designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two...

Why Silver-Plated Hardware Matters
Silver-plated hardware is a must for many industries and laboratories that deal with high voltage and high current applications. Silver-plated hardware in products is used for many different purposes. Silver is an excellent conductor compared to other metal materials, and silver-plated hardware is used in the medical field to produce x-ray machines, electrocardiograms, and even metal detectors.

Proper Torquing of CF Flanges
A flange is an extended ridge or a rim, either internal or external, and is used for guiding machine parts or surging strength for easy attachment to another object. It can also be a plate or a ring to create a rim at the end of the rim when fixed to the pipe. There are various types of flanges: pipe flange, steel pipe flange, weld neck flange, slip-on flange, lap joint flange, blind flange, spectacle blind flange, and others.

Vacuum Weld Details And Why They Must Not Be Overlooked
Welding, a process that dates back to the Iron and Bronze ages, has evolved into a highly specialized procedure that provides innumerable benefits across a range of industries and applications. The process is being used to join or create small and large components, and its success has largely been attributed to vacuum solutions. From being able to give out superior quality to high precision, vacuum welding has many important benefits that explain why companies in the fields of electrical engineering,...
