Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities are built around extremes; cryogenic temperatures, pressure cycling, vibration, and long run times where uptime is critical. In that environment, each component connecting piping, skids, vaporizers, compressors, and instruments makes a huge difference in safety and reliability. 

Hose Master plays a critical role in bulk pneumatic transfer, where systems must reliably move powders, pellets, and granular materials under pressure or vacuum, often in harsh, high-duty environments.

Because maintaining material quality is paramount, the techniques employed to transfer dry bulk materials become vitally important.

Tomorrow’s data centers and hyperscale operations will be accelerating their energy needs and they’ll need a cooling system that can withstand the rapid uptick. That’s where liquid cooling via metal hoses comes in as a safer and more efficient replacement for air cooling.

When selecting the components of a metal hose assembly, it’s crucial to understand the relationship between temperature and pressure. This understanding is key to correctly matching each component to

With maritime global shipping accounting for nearly 3% of worldwide CO2 emissions, the maritime industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint.

While corrugated metal hoses and expansion joints can accommodate many different end fitting types, pipe flanges are one of the most common connections specified by customers.

Let’s take a minute to review the differences between static and dynamic MBR’s and when they should (or should not) be used.

As demand for asphalt continues to grow, implementing rigorous safety measures will be critical to protecting workers in this high-risk industry.

After what seemed like an endless start to 2020, the winter season is finally upon us. With that, the fast-approaching holidays give us lots of much-needed things to look

Make Way for Paperboard! We all have witnessed the shift away from printed media over the past decade. Paper mills that had produced newsprint for generations suddenly found themselves

Expressing qualitative features and benefits using quantitative measures is by definition going to be a slippery slope. Yet as consumers, we perform this math equation in our heads in various ways many times throughout the day.

Can I Afford to Upgrade my Piping System Now? With everything going on in the world right now a lot of companies are prioritizing finding ways to reduce costs.

It is amazing how quickly a market can change in response to the implementation of a new technology. A great example of this is the advancement of horizontal drilling combined with hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”.

It sounds like the recent pattern of outages could have been avoided with better management of the “grid” – which is what we call the thousands of miles of wire that comprise our power distribution network. But what does that mean exactly? What causes outages like blackouts and brownouts?

When we inspect corrugated metal hoses and look for torsional stress it’s typically after installation while the hose is in service. However, we should also be concerned with torsion that can happen before installation during the manufacturing process. This is referred to as residual torsional stress.

Many piping systems are configured so that cooling hoses are exposed to movements and stresses they were not designed to handle. Here are some ways to prevent torsion-related failures for water cooling lines.

In a digital age where physical interactions with each other are few and far between – it seems like the number of threats to the paper industry are continuing

Where’d You Get That? These days, it comes as no surprise that a significant portion of purchases in the United States come from imports. In 2019, the United States

The Chemical Processing Industry presents many challenges when specifying the best flexible hose for a given application. While it is critically important to provide a safe, reliable assembly that
