A Moment With
Working Together with Manufacturers : An Interview with Saxon Company
Manufacturer representatives play a vital role in the relationship between manufacturers and end users . With a breadth of knowledge , these representatives can help end users make informed decisions about their applications .
Stainless Steel World Americas had the pleasure of speaking to Michael Dillon , Associate at Saxon Company , where he shares his input on cost considerations for heat exchangers , working as a manufacturer ’ s representative , as well as future thoughts about the industry .
Special Topic : Heat Exchangers
Modern Petrochemical Heat Exchangers in AISI 310
Heat exchangers transfer heat between media , which may be a gas , liquid , or a combination . Fouling undermines heat exchange efficiency . Corrosive fluids associated with intensified fouling may be due to the selection of improper or sub-standard materials , design flaws leading to variable heat transfer , flow resistance degradation , and drops in pressure .
Technical Article Material Selection for Corrosion Resistance
When choosing the best materials for superior corrosion resistance , relying on reputable suppliers to guide component decisions can save time and money in the long run . Fluid systems for offshore oil and gas platforms can be extraordinarily complex . The systems often include nearly 50,000 feet of tubing , more than 20,000 components , 10,000 fittings , and as many as 8,000 mechanical connections . Since offshore industrial fluid systems are challenging to service , designers must carefully consider which materials they select for these applications . One of the most important elements to think about is the system ’ s corrosion resistance .
