vent pipe. Pressure above 2.0 ounces per square inch will cause the whistle to activate and pressures above 4.0 ounces per square inch will cause the device to discharge from the pipe.

SPIRAX SARCO has released the Fig 36HP stainless-steel, Y-type strainer rated to ASME Class 600 standards, which enables it to meet the needs of a wider range of applications. The strainer is designed to protect equipment from pipeline debris such as scale, rust, jointing compound, weld metal and other solids in flowing liquids or gases, making it suitable for the oil and petrochemical market.

This new range of strainers has a large screen area providing high Cv and low pressure drop as well as reducing

PPE Launches Perlast ICE

Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) has launched Perlast ICE G75LT, a low temperature perfluoroelastomer material for use in oil and gas applications.

Perlast ICE G75LT is the latest innovation to be introduced to the market by PPE, developed to perform under extreme conditions, in temperatures as low as – 46°C (– 51°F).

The material offers the thermal and chemical resistance superiority associated with perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) but now with extremely low temperature capabilities. The exceptional low temperature properties are achieved by polymer structure changes, rather than additive techniques, which provides reliable, repeatable and sustained sealing performance.

the frequency of blowdown for cleaning. The Fig 36HP strainer is capped, drilled and tapped to enable a blowdown valve to be fitted to drain and clean the screen in service, therefore reducing system downtime. It features a wide range of strainer screen options that are available in stainless steel, Monel, perforations and mesh.
