Suction And Blast Hoses Work In High Temperatures

Flextraction has launched a range of suction and blast hoses for use in high-temperature applications involving aggressive solids or gases and in chemical, manufacturing de-dusting and suction plants. The hoses, depending on the type and size, vary in weight, flexibility and compressibility to meet a variety of requirements. The suction and blast hoses operate in temperatures from -200C up to +1,100C. The thermoplastic polymer hoses are suitable for use in applications where the maximum temperature is +125C.

The steel hoses, meanwhile, can be used in temperatures up to +400C and the stainless-steel hoses can operate in temperatures up to +600C. For better thermal insulation, multiply-constructed hoses using alternating special high-temperature webbing and special insulating materials are effective up to 1,100C over short periods. The new range includes the VA 471 Teflon, double-layer, ultra-lightweight, compressible hose, which is designed for use in applications where operating temperatures can range from approximately -150C to +250C and over a short period of time in applications up to 270C.

Typical applications for these new hoses include equipment involving aggressive solids such as dust particles, powder and fibres and aggressive gases such as vapours, fumes and smoke, as well as applications in the chemical industry, manufacturing de-dusting and suction plants as well as in bellows and compensators.
The new range also includes the Norres CP Hitex 483 multi-layer, high-temperature suction and blast hose, which designed for use in applications reaching up to 1,100C, such as dust, powder and fibre solids, gas, vapour and flue-gas extraction, blast furnace exhaust and welding fume extraction as well as exhaust extraction in engine construction, engine warming, aircraft and military equipment construction.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
