Products & developments

Blow out preventer hose range Power management company Eaton has extended its range of blow out preven- ter (BOP) hoses that meet or exceed the requirements of the demanding AP1-16 drill well specification. customers around the world confidence that no matter the application, Eaton has a product to meet their needs.”

FC800 EverCool core is made of a blended CR rubber material, a synthetic characterised by its long-lasting elastic- ity, heat resistance and resistance to a number of refrigerants and compressor oils. This core tube provides greater flexibility than a corrugated hose and withstands the high mechanical stress coming from the engine. The core is covered by a polyamide barrier layer, which reduces the hose’s permeation rate to 0.5 kg/m 2 /year. The new EC007 barrier hose product joins Eaton’s GH001 veneer hose, which features nearly zero permeation, a tighter bend radius, EZ-clip compatibility and wide temperature range. All three hoses in the portfolio are qualified with multiple refrigerants, including R1234yf. Eaton Hydraulics Group EMEA – Switzerland www.eaton.com

The newly released EC556 BOP hose forms a critical part of oil and gas drilling and exploration equipment, where reliability and safety are the primary requirements for in-operation performance. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industry, the EC556 BOP hose is certified to withstand fire, high heat and pressure, and is tested, rated and approved by Lloyd’s Register. “Building on a strong legacy of fluid conveyance product innovation, our EC556 portfolio of blow out preventer hoses are designed to outperform the competition,” said Johannes Kammerlohr, Eaton’s product manager for EMEA, fuel, A/C and transportation. “The EverCool A/C portfolio, along with our global footprint, gives our

Eaton’s EverCool EC007 barrier hose is the latest addition to the portfolio, intended for truck, agricultural and construction customers. Designed to reduce refrigeration loss, the hose helps minimise environmental impact from greenhouse gases as well as downtime and costs associated with needing to add refrigerant to the system. The EC007 barrier hose is constructed with a thermoplastic barrier layer between textile-reinforced elastomeric layers, with an outer cover built with a heat-, ozone- and UV-resistant synthetic elastomer. The FC800 large-bore hose is specifical- ly designed for nominal sizes required for bus air conditioning systems. The

/ Perfect Welding / Solar Energy / Perfect Charging TWO MINUTES‘ TIME. A 100% CLEAN TIG SEAM.

/ There are situations where time is a luxury that we don‘t have. Yet every weld seam has to be executed to precision. These are exactly the moments in which intuitive parameter setting and consistently high weld quality make the difference between failure and success in TIG welding. Moments in which the quality of our MagicWave 230i, MagicWave 190 and TransTig 230i becomes clear for all to see – and which proves its worth a thousand times over every day and across the world. / Are you ready for the future?
