Pump and valve parts supplier puts knowledge on the line

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 03:33PM

More than a supplier of parts to the pump and valve industry, Daemar has reinvented itself as an invaluable resource for anyone sourcing fluid sealing and precision components. The company stocks hundreds of products such as O-rings, back-up rings, retaining ring, seals and cap plugs for every imaginable industrial use.

Aiming to empower users with the information they need to make informed choices regarding sealing, retaining and protection, the company has set up a range of online technical resources to help users quickly identify the correct component for their particular design application.

Users can search and compare items by key product specifications or application criteria. Related support material such as installation instructions and technical drawings are included in the online product catalogue.

Technical resources include comparison charts of materials, trouble-shooting advice and How-Tos, as well as six easy-to-use, downloadable catalogues. Typical of these is the O-Rings Catalogue. Much more than a list of products and prices, it includes a wealth of charts and notes on such concerns as fluid compatibility, properties and design.

Corrosion & Ozone Resistant Compact Vacuum Valves for Extremely Harsh Semiconductor or Solar Processes

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 01:09PM

Available in angle and inline configurations, Corrosion and Ozone Resistant Vacuum Valves utilize patented technology that completely seals off valve bellows, keeping reactive and corrosive gases from contacting and collecting on bellows surface when valve is open. Units come with air solenoid for electro-pneumatic control of valve and limit switch assembly for remote indication in open or closed position. In event of power loss, poppet valves will automatically close. 

MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, has introduced a series of Corrosion and Ozone Resistant Valves, designed for longer life in extremely harsh semiconductor or solar processes. The valves feature patented technology that completely seals off the valve bellows, keeping reactive and corrosive gases such as O3, NF3 and CL2 from contacting and collecting on the bellows surface when the valve is open. Extremely durable and dependable, the Corrosion and Ozone Resistant Valve has a small profile and is low in cost. The bellows-sealed poppet valve ensures high cycle life and easy maintenance.

Yukon departments reject Tombstone mining

DateMonday, July 26, 2010 at 06:52PM

Officials with the Yukon Environment and Tourism departments have expressed concerns about proposed mining exploration in Tombstone Park.

In submissions to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB), the Environment and Tourism departments both express concern that the planned exploration by Canadian United Minerals on existing claims will have significant impacts on the park, and that the company's proposal is too vague to allow a proper assessment.

"Overall, Environment Yukon has significant concerns with the nature of the project proposal," the submission from Yukon Environment says. "The proponent has not provided a thorough nor consistent description of the proposed activities, effects and proposed mitigation. Repeated changes in project scope on key aspects of the project such as ground and air access routing, on-claim activities and proposed equipment use has made meaningful input into this review onerous for the public, stakeholders and governments."

Carbon sequestration deal stalls

DateMonday, July 26, 2010 at 06:47PM

Money troubles have stalled indefinitely a proposal to capture carbon dioxide emissions from a Canadian coal plant and store the gas underground in Montana — a largely unproven concept considered key for addressing climate change.

Montana and Saskatchewan's elected leaders had sought $100 million from each of their federal governments for the proposal but have failed to deliver the money.

It was billed as an industrial-scale test of technologies that could reduce carbon emissions from some of the 650 coal-fired power plants in the two countries. Coal power is the leading industrial source of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

DateFriday, July 23, 2010 at 01:26PM

Ford Motor Co. reported Friday strong second-quarter earnings — its fifth straight quarterly profit — but trimmed its U.S. sales forecast.

The No. 2 U.S. automaker predicted its performance would be weaker in the second half of the year as the economy slowly recovers.

Lincoln first American hybrid to sell for same price as gas counterpart

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 12:35PM

For the first time, an American automaker plans to sell a hybrid car for the same, lower price as its gas-powered counterpart.

At more than $35,000 US, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ sedan won't be cheap, but the decision by Ford to match the prices of the two styles could lead competitors to follow suit with future models.

The hybrid MKZ, debuting this fall and running on both gas and electric power, will be a bargain, relative to its all-gas cousin, after factoring in savings at the pump. It gets more than double the mileage of the traditional version in city driving.

While automakers won't reveal what they spend to install a hybrid system in a car, the final product usually costs several thousand dollars more than a gas-powered version of the same car.

Russia unveils manned spacecraft

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 12:24PM


The new rocket is intended to carry a manned capsule to the Moon

Russian space agency, Roskosmos, is putting the finishing touches to the design of a spacecraft, which could carry the nation's cosmonauts into space in the coming decades.

Russian officials revealed details about the craft at the Farnborough Air Show.

The work is a culmination of a multi-year effort to define the architecture of a replacement to Russia's 40-year-old Soyuz spacecraft.

With the upcoming retirement of the US space shuttle, Russian ships could, for several years at least, be the only means of taking humans into space.
