Safe and Correct Installation in Electrofusion: Lessons From the Recent Incident in Australia

The safe and proper use of electrofusion equipment, in combination with the correct installation of fittings and pipes, is essential in industries relying on piping systems, particularly when these systems are used to transport gas, water, or other critical fluids. While electrofusion technology offers a reliable and efficient means to join polyethylene (PE) pipes, recent incidents, like the one in Australia where a coupler exploded due to improper installation, once again highlight the importance of stringent safety standards and proper training for installation professionals.

About Vacuum Jacketed Piping Systems and Accessories

What is a Vacuum Jacketed Piping System? Vacuum jacketed piping, also called VJ piping or vacuum-insulated piping, is used to transfer supercooled gasses in liquid form. Cryogens like liquid helium, liquid oxygen, and liquid nitrogen must be kept cold during the transfer process, or some of the liquid will become gaseous and leak out. Vacuum […]

How to Reduce the Effects of Heat Exchanger Fouling

A leading manufacturer of industrial heat exchangers is warning engineers and those specifying heat exchanger installations not to underestimate the effects of material fouling on performance. Light fouling can impact the heat transfer process, reducing energy efficiency or preventing the heat exchanger operating within its designed parameters. In extreme cases, fouling can completely block heat exchangers, requiring significant intervention to remove or replace the affected equipment.
