Submersible, centrifugal transfer pumps

The "K" series includes submersible sump/sewage and end-suction centrifugal pumps. The submersible pumps handle semi-dirty liquids or liquids with suspended solids. End-suction centrifugal pumps are for high-flow, low-pressure booster, spraying and transfer applications. (CAT Pumps)

Hydraulic tubing drain

Hydraulic Tubing Drain eliminates need for shear pin devices. It provides a positive method to drain, circulate or equalize pressures from inside the tubing string to the annulus. The simple design utilizes applied hydraulic pressure to burst the rupture membrane, opening an unrestricted 7/8-in. fluid port to the casing annulus. (Fike Corporation)

Flexible couplings

Metastream M Series couplings offer proven operating lives that can exceed 30 years and maintenance-free/cost-efficient operation, as there are no moving parts that need lubrication. Damage to connected equipment is reduced by a built-in safety mechanism. (John Crane)

Hooks

Cablesafe-S-shaped hooks are produced from non-conductive, non-flammable, heat-resistant (up to 85 [degrees] C) reinforced polyester that can be reused. The hooks' properties ensure reduction of downtime from short-circuiting, lessen risk of cable damage due to sharp edges and minimize danger of electrification. Hooks are available in three sizes and marked with maximum load capacity. (Westmark BV)

Mobile fire rig

FlameOut, with a one-two punch--dry chemical plus foam--can be mounted on a track or bolted to a skid for permanent protection at a critical site. It sprays foam (3-6% AFFF concentrate) and/or dry chemical (Purple K) for up to three minutes. The rigs meet ASME, DOT and NFPA requirements. (Fire Combat)
