This project investigates how serrated and non serrated flange connections perform when exposed to external loading. The goal is to understand whether one connection type begins to leak earlier than ...

The primary considerations in slurry valve selection are reliability in function and design, abrasion resistance, and ease of maintenance. In addition, valves with a straight-through, unobstructed ...

External leaks from valves during valve cycling are common problems for plant operators around the world. These leaks can have disastrous consequences, contaminating the environment and endangering ...

It is easy to take valves for granted. They have been used since the days of the Roman Empire and designs are pretty routine, so people tend to assume that a standard valve will do the job. But that ...
