Watertight seals
Trelleborg’s pipe seals operation has launched two new trenchless technology sealing solutions for high-pressure, potable water pipe relining applications. The new seals provide a watertight seal for most types of pipe including steel, cast iron, concrete and plastic. Both are easily installed using a high-force hydraulic expansion tool and are available in multiple diameters. The L-Lock-P™ is a rubber liner end seal with stainless-steel expansion bands designed to keep the liner firmly in place. The I-Lock-P™ is a mechanical seal applied without a liner to repair sections of cracked or damaged pipe.

Flowmeter without metals in the fluid path
There are no metals in the fluid path of F-461 Series inline Variable Area Flowmeters from Blue-White, making these units well suited for use in many ultrapure applications. Constructed of tough, chemical-resistant polysulfone, F-461 flowmeters offer better resistance to high temperatures, pressures and a broad base of harsh chemicals than many plastic flowmeters on the market. The high-capacity F-461 utilizes precisely engineered ridges molded into the meter body, which guide PTFE floats. Calibration range is 1 to 35 GPM (4 to 130 LPM) and permanent direct-reading scales are easy to read. The full-scale accuracy is +/- 2.5%.
