How well do you know your flexible hoses? Do the terms ‘permeation,’ ‘post-sintered’ or ‘bend radius’ have meaning or do they seem more like unintelligible industry jargon? If it’s the latter, you’re not alone! Bottom line, it’s easy to order the wrong hose.

Gone are the days when it took a box wrench to open and close a fill plant master valve, when the end of the day meant a sore hand and wrist from forcibly operating valves. The newly designed Generant High Pressure Master Valve takes that struggle away. Designed for the tough requirements of cylinder fill plants, manifold and piping system applications, the MV series valves are the best in the industry.

Designed specifically to prevent leaking in cryogenic applications, the Worcester C44 Series Ball Valve is highly preferred by technicians in the field for a number of reasons:

There’s never a bad time to revisit safety basics, especially when it comes to compressed and liquified gases. These gases play a huge role in our everyday lives, touching so many products and services that most non-industry people may not even realize.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Standard defines a life-threatening oxygen-deficient atmosphere as anything below 19.5 percent. An oxygen-deficient environment can very rapidly lead to hypoxia (the condition in which the brain and body organs and tissues are deprived of oxygen) and death – thus the extreme importance of having oxygen deficiency alarms in any enclosed environment storing compressed gasses or cryogenic liquids.
