    摘要: A kit and method for monitoring for the presence of catalyst fines in heavy fuel oil (HFO), including: a) providing a sample of HFO; b) mixing the HFO sample with a diluent composition comprising a non-polar solvent and with an aqueous reagent composition to provide a test sample, wherein the aqueous reagent composition comprises at least one water soluble inorganic salt and at least one water soluble base; c) allowing phase separation to occur in the test sample to provide an aqueous phase and an organic phase; and d) inspecting the aqueous phase of the test sample for the presence of catalyst fines. The diluent composition can consist of a non-polar solvent selected from mineral spirits, kerosene, naphtha, and heavy distillate and a phase transfer agent selected from tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and butanol.

    摘要: A cylinder with position feedback sensor, including a barrel (11), a piston rod (12) and piston (15). Markings (M) associated with a central portion of the piston rod (12C) are readable by a sensor (S). In practice, the freedom of slidable movement of the piston rod (12) is such that the markings are retained at all times entirely within the barrel (11) during use so that the external environment cannot influence (e.g. damage) the markings.

    摘要: A coupling comprises an inner body having an interior bore configured to receive a tube or the like. A collar is arranged to be axially received about the inner body. The collar being configured such that when it is forced onto the inner body, it applies a circumferential compressive force to deform the body inwardly. At least one interior annular projection defines one or more annular teeth arranged such that when a tube is received in the bore and the inner body is inwardly deformed by the collar, the one or more annular teeth engage the tube to seal with it. The inner surface of the bore comprises a plurality of circumferentially arranged projections defining a series of circumferentially spaced teeth axially spaced from the at least one annular protuberance and configured to engage the tube following compression of the inner body by the collar to prevent relative rotation between the tube and the inner body.

    摘要: A sensor apparatus 70 for use in determining a count of individual metal particles with respect to volume for a dynamic sample provided by a volume of fluid flowing through a sensing region of the apparatus between first and second times. The sensor apparatus comprises magnetic field generating means for generating a magnetic field for application to a sample in the sensing region and sensing means comprising one or more electrically conductive coils for sensing the result of interaction between the generated magnetic field and a dynamic sample provided by a volume of fluid flowing through the sensing region between first and second times. The sensor apparatus also includes a flow sensor 72 for determining data indicative of a rate of fluid flow through the sensing region. The sensed result of the interaction and the data indicative of the rate of fluid flow through the sensing region determined by the flow sensor are thus usable together in determining a count of individual metal particles with respect to volume for the dynamic sample. The sensor apparatus is configured such that the sensing region receives only a portion of the fluid flow of a system with respect to which the sensor apparatus is mounted to provide the dynamic sample in the region of the sensor apparatus.

    摘要: A valve assembly comprises a valve (22) including a valve body (24) and a movable valve closure member (26). The valve assembly also includes a manifold (12) having a bore (20) with a valve opening through which the valve (22) is received into the bore (20), and at least one process fluid pathway defined within the manifold (12) in fluid communication with the bore (20). The valve (22) includes a proximal end section arranged to close the valve opening (23) and an opposing distal end located within the bore (20) inwardly of the proximal end. The valve closure member (34) is arranged to open and close the at least one fluid pathway. In addition a primary seal is located between the valve body (24) and the manifold (12) to seal the valve opening (23), with a secondary seal being located inwardly of the primary seal along the bore (20) relative to the valve opening (23) arranged to create a seal between and the valve body (24) and the bore (20) to isolate the primary seal from the first fluid pathway. The valve assembly further includes a vent port (74) in fluid communication with the bore (20) located along the bore (20) between the primary seal and the secondary seal.
