CLEANING
Osborn adds 144-knot cut-back brush
Industrial brush maker Osborn has announced availability in North America of its 114-knot cut-back brush for angled removal of three or more layers of coating from pipe ends. The company says it
worked with leading machine makers to develop the new brushes, which are heavy duty products designed for fast and cost effective removal of pipeline coatings by combining pipe edge cleaning, coating removal and angle grinding in one step. The company says the brush uses ultra-high density AB wire and feature a larger than normal diameter with more knots than competitive products on the North American market. ❙

Spire Ultra Polymers for Solvay Specialty Polymers. KetaSpire PEEK delivers good chemical and abrasion resistance combined with exceptional heat resistance and strength, making it an ideal choice in extreme oil and gas environments. Parts manufactured from Ketron PEEK, based on KetaSpire PEEK, are currently being used in a range of oil and gas
applications including but not limited to bearings, seals, and back-up rings. Ketron PEEK shapes have
proven superior performance in NORSOK M-710 sour single-phase aging tests at high hydrogen sulfide (H2
S)
levels. In addition, Ketron shapes have met NORSOK M-710 multi-phase testing requirements. ❙
