Parker’s SCFF Couplings Avoid Loss of Fluid and Help Protect the Environment
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is expanding its FlatFace offering with the SCFF series.
The SCFF series of couplings offers users a number of benefits ranging from low-leakage decoupling to the avoidance of air entrapment during coupling. The couplings, which are tested in accordance with ISO 7241- 2, are easy to clean and very flat.
Whether being used in mobile hydraulics, transport, or the oil and gas industry, SCFF couplings are very resistant to vibrations and other forms of mechanical stress. The processes of coupling and decoupling are also fast and reliable: due to the inclusion of an ACME thread, no fluid escapes during these stages. The reliability of this system is enhanced by the swivel function together with the unique locking sleeve to avoid accidental disconnection.
SCFF plugs are available with pressure eliminator. Thanks to this innovative technology, it is possible to connect couplings in the presence of accumulated or residual pressure without any problems. A miniature valve automatically relieves the pressure in the connecting phase.
Express Engineering Achieves ISO 45001
Express Engineering, a global leader in innovative manufacturing, assembly and testing solutions for the subsea oil and gas industry, has gained ISO 45001 approval.
The success, which has come in the face of Covid 19 and tough lockdown restrictions, demonstrates the company’s commitment to developing effective controls and procedures for a safe working environment at its Gateshead engineering and R&D facilities.
ISO 45001, which replaces OHSAS 18001, is a global standard, covering occupational health and safety, providing a framework to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create better working conditions, focusing on a proactive approach to improving safety performance.
The news comes as Express Engineering has continued to maintain a resilient performance in the face of uncertainties caused by the pandemic. It currently employs more than 200 people across its operations and predicts revenues in excess of £35m for 2020.
Dave Fullen, Facilities Manager at Express Engineering, said certification is a huge endorsement of the company’s approach to not only ensuring the quality of its systems, but also providing one of the safest working environments. He said: “We have been working towards achieving this standard for more than 18 months. It’s great news and this success reflects all the hard work, commitment and effort that’s been made to ensure we meet stringent international standards.”
