PUMPS
WHAT IS A PUMP ?
A PUMP is a machine that moves fluids (either liquids or gases) by mechanical action. Normally we think of PUMPS moving liquids (incompressible fluid)

COMPRESSOR
WHAT IS A COMPRESSOR?
A COMPRESSOR is a PUMP that compresses and moves compressible fluids.....aka GAS.
There are different types of compressors, some of which are
✓ Positive Displacement (Reciprocating or Rotary),
✓ Dynamic (Centrifugal / Axial)
• Labyrinth Seals
• Shaft Seals
• Secondary Seals
• Impeller Eye Seals
• Balance Piston Seals
• Gas Seals
✓ KETRON PEEK CM
✓ KETRON PEEK CA30
✓ DURATRON PAI,
✓ FLUOROSINT 500
VALVES & SEALS
WHAT IS A VALVE?
Valves regulate fluid flow by opening and closing. The moving parts of a valve and their actuators
are prime opportunities to improve performance through the use of
advanced engineered thermoplastics.
• Valve Seats
• Bushings
• Body & Stem
• Stem Seal
• Soft Seals (Low Pressure)
• Hard Seals (High Pressure)
• Thrust Washers
• Stem Seal Adaptor

Offshore & Onshore - Oil & Gas Equipment
⊛ SUBSEA
Deep ocean equipment and systems far off-shore and below the water line often include
equipment located on the sea floor. Suitable materials in this extreme environment
call for excellent strength and stiffness across a broad temperature spectrum
as well as great toughness, impact, and corrosion resistance
