Greene
Tweed , a global manufacturer of highperformance sealing solutions and engineered components , highlights WR ® 600 , a carbonfibre-reinforced
|
, PFA-based composite featuring outstanding chemical , impact , and thermal shock resistance . The WR ® 600 thermoplastic composite can |
withstand continuous service temperatures up to 500 ° F ( 260 ° C ) and is ideal for stationary wear rings for static applications , pump applications in refineries , chemical plants , power plants , and water treatment plants , as well as all types of centrifugal pumps . WR ® 600 withstands the strongest acids , bases , halogens , and solvents . Its non-galling properties facilitate extended periods of dry running during upset conditions . Featuring excellent impact and thermal shock resistance , WR ® 600 tolerates rapid startup or shutdown without the risk of fracture or pump failure . Components made of WR ® 600 run tighter clearances than traditional metallic materials , reducing recirculation and improving efficiency . This results |
in substantial energy savings , extended service life , and improved mean time between repairs . Components made of WR ® 600 will have improved dry run properties , compared to standard materials , that will extend pump reliability and lifetime . Quick and easy machining to exact finish dimensions reduces pump repair turnaround time and increases equipment availability . In addition , WR ® 600 improves vibration damping for increased pump life . With comprehensive in-house machining centres , Greene Tweed offers finished WR ® 600 parts , along with stock shapes in many sizes . Greene Tweed ’ s engineers provide expert assistance in determining the best material and design for each application . |

Oxford Flow ’ s ES valve design has been awarded “ Most Innovative New Technology ” at the event , which was accepted by Dr Chris Kennell and David Smith from the Americas business development team . This award celebrates its commitment to advancing safer , more efficient industrial processes through innovative technology . The Mary Kay O ’ Connor Process Safety Center ( MKOPSC ) was founded as a response to the catastrophic Phillips 66 explosion in 1989 , an incident that left a profound impact on the chemical and process industries . The Phillips facility experienced a devastating explosion due to a hydrocarbon leak . In response , the MKOPSC was established at Texas A & M University to prevent similar tragedies by fostering safer engineering practices and advancing research in process safety . In its 27th year and hosted in association with the Institution of Chemical Engineers ( IchemE ), the Mary Kay O ’ Connor Safety and |
Risk Conference bring together industry experts from around the world to discuss the latest developments and challenges in process safety . This year it had the privilege of exhibiting its ES valve at the event . The technical committee recognised the potential of the ES valve ’ s innovative , stemless design and believed that conference attendees would appreciate its ability to eliminate traditional valve components prone to chronic failures and emissions leaks . The ES stemless valves offer worldclass performance , reliability , and emissions control for a wide range of severe service applications in oil and gas , pipeline , petrochemical , and process industries . The ES valve can also be used for transitioning energy systems , including hydrogen and biomethane applications . It provides zero-leakage isolation and regulation in a variety of materials and configurations from 2 ″ to 24 ″ ( DN50 to DN600 ) and in pressures classes to ASME 2500 . |
