Smaller, faster, smarter – three keywords that summarise the current trends in the high-tech machine building industry well.
Named after the Belfast-born, Glasgow University engineer and physicist William Thomson (better known as Lord Kelvin), who first developed the concept of an absolute temperature scale, the kelvin is one of the seven base units...
Thermodynamics is the branch of physical science that deals with heat and its relationship with other forms of energy.
Used in the delivery and transfer of a wide variety of products, hoses are important pieces of equipment in the supply of industrial gases.
For years, innovation in cryogenic insulation technology mainly focused on the important aspects of creating maximum payload with minimum losses. Most of the attention was on developing technologies around reducing conduction, convection, and radiation heat...
They say that ‘a week in politics is a long time!” Well, the relative rate of change in the gas cylinder business is, at times, following a similar comparison.
Gas cylinders present several obvious and some less-familiar hazards, including sudden decompression that can propel a cylinder remarkably quickly across the work environment/laboratory and displace breathing air, as well as the risk of explosion or...
Cylinder filling plants represent the very baseline of the packaged gas business in the industrial gas industry, a segment that is worth approximately $29bn (2015) according to gasworld Business Intelligence. Without them, there would be a...
Coming off the back of some major political and economic shifts last year, 2017 can be viewed as an uncertain time. This is true of various industries and regional markets, with the trickle-down effect of...
The diversification and business growth of packaged gases remains a never-ending challenge for industrial gas operators and gas containment equipment manufacturers alike. Liquid gas cylinders (LGCs) as part of the supply chain is no exception.
