Services
Flame Arresters
Our flame arresters prevent flame propagation in storage tanks and process vessels. Designed to ISO 9001 standards, these passive safety devices use crimped-metal-ribbon matrices to extinguish flames while allowing gas flow. We supply deflagration and detonation arresters including models 6E00, 6B00, and 7A00 for hazardous environments.
Pressure Regulators
We provide self-contained pressure regulators for industrial applications. These valves control liquid and gas flow based on line pressure without external signals. Our range includes high-pressure, ultra-high purity, and sanitary regulators from trusted brands like Cashco for precise process control.
Storage Tank Fittings
Our comprehensive tank fittings include breather valves, emergency vents, and gauge hatches. These components maintain pressure equilibrium, prevent structural damage, and ensure regulatory compliance for industries handling hazardous materials in storage tanks.
Gas Blanketing Valves
The Vacu-Gard gas blanketing system maintains controlled pressure in low-pressure storage tanks. This pilot-operated valve reduces nitrogen consumption by up to 40% while preventing flammable vapour accumulation through precise pressure management.
Pilot Operated Vents
Cashco pilot-operated vents offer precise tank pressure control with bubble-tight sealing until activation. Available in carbon steel and stainless steel, these vents prevent backflow and maintain set points independently of header pressure for enhanced safety.
