Flo-tech PFM testers now offer internal pressure relief discs
The rugged PFM Tester Series by Flo-tech now features an internal safety pressure relief disc, or burst disc. The PFM series has long been relied upon to measure flow, pressure, temperature and horsepower on mobile hydraulic equipment. Effective immediately, all PFM Testers will include an internal burst disc component. The new design ensures that in the event of an over pressurization, that the fluid is safely allowed to bypass the load valve and remain within the hydraulic system. No fluids will escape outside of the tester. Maintenance costs are thereby reduced, and potential harm to the environment from spills is eliminated with the internal design. As before, the internal burst disc is field-replaceable, should an over pressurization occur.
The PFM Tester utilizes a turbine rotor and a magnetic pick-up to measure flow rates by measuring the frequency pulse output from the rotor. Volumetric flow rate is displayed on an LCD or sent via digital output to a PC. The PFM Series provides reliable readings with an accuracy of 1% of full scale and a repeatability of 0.2%. Temperature is measured via internal sensor, and pressure is measured via analog gauge or high-sensitivity digital sensor. For ease of use and safety, all testers have loading valves with fingertip control and pressure surge protection.

MICO Hydraulic-Over-Air Relay Valves
Convert Hydraulic Input To Air Pressure Output
NORTH MANKATO, Minn. MICO, Incorporated is introducing its hydraulic-over-air relay valves at the IFPE/ConExpo show in Las Vegas in booth #13653. The valves are designed to
convert hydraulic modulated input pressure to a proportional output air pressure. The new relay valves are ideal for various on- and off-highway applications, such as
controlling an air-braked trailer with a hydraulically braked towing vehicle that has an air power source.
The system originates with a hydraulic vehicle component, such as a master cylinder or hydraulic control valve, which delivers a given hydraulic input pressure. This input
pressure sends a pilot signal to the relay valve in order to modulate air brake pressure on the other end.
MICO offers three different hydraulic-over-air relay valve designs: single, dual and tandem. The single input design provides one hydraulic pilot port to control modulated air
braking pressure. The dual input features two independent ports, either of which can accept pilot pressure. When pressure is applied to both ports simultaneously, the controlled
air braking pressure ratio increases proportionally. The dual input ports can be set up for different pressure ratios, making the dual design a good fit for certain steering
assist applications. Functionally similar to the single design, the tandem input provides redundancy by utilizing two independent pilot pressure ports. This enables hydraulic
pilot pressure to be applied to either port while allowing the pressure ratio to remain the same.
The new relay valves can accommodate a maximum air pressure of 150 PSI and maximum hydraulic pressure of 2,000 PSI. The valves can be adjusted to operate at anywhere from a 3:1
to 21:1 hydraulic-to-air-pressure ratio. Maximum operating temperature for the valves is 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
MICO, Incorporated designs, manufactures and markets brake systems, hydraulic components and controls, primarily for off-road markets. For more information, contact MICO,

The New Mark V includes touch-screen electronic controls for set up of all process functions. Expansion history is stored and can be downloaded to an Excel spreadsheet through a USB port.
Heavy duty casters make it easy to roll the system up to the tube sheet face to perform expansion. The intensifier is mounted into a convenient drawer that slides out of the power unit. An optional (20 ft) long umbilical cordallows the intensifier to be used at a distance from the power unit (on a scaffold to access a very large sheet, for example).
Designed to provide one-step high pressure expansion regardless of the tube sheet thickness, HydroSwage expanding mandrels feature a patented segmented seal support system that holds high pressures with minimalseal extrusion.
Capable of expansion pressures to 50,000 PSI, the system accepts 100 to 240 VAC single-phase and requires airinlet pressure between 70 and 150 psi with a minimum of 70 scfm. Expansion pressures are applied uniformly, tube after tube, yielding consistent joints throughout the tube sheet. The method has been applied successfully to expand tubes into tube sheets as thin as 19 mm ((¾) up to as thick as 84 cm (333).
Haskel International Inc. is a world leader in high pressure technology with 40 years experience in hydraulic tube expansion. The company is part of United Technologiess Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation.

Sunnens new SHO-500 honing oil added to USDA BioPreferredSM online catalog
St. Louis, MO (November 2010) The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) BioPreferred program, a Federal purchasing program for biobased products, has recently added Sunnen's new SHO-500 vegetable-based honing oil to its online product catalog a searchable, user-friendly database used to find biobased products that meet BioPreferred program requirements.
Offering a breakthrough in oxidation stability, SHO-500 is formulated without additives that many find objectionable, such as sulfur, chlorine and fluorine. It is an ideal solution in honing applications where additives cannot be used, such as nuclear and some aerospace parts, or where company policies discourage use of fluids with such additives. SHO-500 is acceptable in all parts of the world and to all religions and cultures. It is suitable for use with conventional vitrified honing abrasives and metal-bond superabrasives. SHO-500 joins Sunnen's two other planet friendly oils, MAN-863 and KG3X, as BioPreferredd products. The new oil is available in 5-gallon (18.9 l) pails, 55-gallon (208.2 l) drums and 330-gallon (1,249 l) totes.
"We're pleased to qualify the SHO-500 vegetable-based honing oil for addition to the BioPreferred list," said Chuck Korn, product engineer at Sunnen. "These oils help reduce manufacturing's impact on the environment, and we're confident that customers willing to make the switch to a 'green' fluid will find its performance to be comparable to their conventional honing oils."
BioPreferred is a Federal program that seeks to increase the purchase and use of biobased goods products made from biological or renewable materials.
"Initially, the catalog was created to help Federal procurement officers identify biobased products that qualify for preferred purchasing," said Ron Buckhalt, BioPreferred's program manager. "But the BioPreferred online catalog is accessible to anyone who wants to search for biobased products. We are gratified so many find the catalog a useful tool."
Biopreferred's online product catalog is searchable by product category (i.e. construction and road
maintenance, housewares and cleaning products, etc.) and further by subcategory, manufacturer name or product name. Today, more than 1480 biobased products manufactured by more than 320 companies are in the online catalog, with new products continually being added. SHO-500 honing oil is listed in the catalog's Metalworking Fluids category under the Straight Oils subcategory.

MICO Introduces Check Valve Assembly For Full-Power Brake Systems
NORTH MANKATO, Minn. MICO, Incorporated introduces a Check Valve Assembly for Full Power Brake Systems. It is a compact manifold assembly that includes a check valve and an inverted shuttle valve. The assembly supplies fluid for two separate accumulator circuits while reducing the necessary number of system components and limiting plumbing and hardware requirements.
The Check Valve Assembly is ideal for full power hydraulic brake systems that must store energy in two separate accumulator circuits. It features high flow capacity up to 11 gallons per minute and a maximum operating pressure of 3,625 PSI, Among the potential applications are split systems with a pressure-compensated pump, and electrohydraulic accumulator charging controlled by a pressure transducer at the unitts switch port.
Pressure is supplied to two accumulators by the assemblyys inlet port. The inverted shuttle valve isolates the higher pressure of the two accumulator circuits, while directing the lower pressure to the switch port. A check valve prevents pressure at the switch port from leaking back to the inlet port.
By combining the functionality of multiple components into a single housing, the Check Valve Assembly decreases costs and time required for installation. Its design also reduces potential leak points and contains possible failure points for the hydraulic system. The assembly limits check valve leakage to a maximum of 0.25 cubic centimeters per minute at 3,500 PSI.
MICO, Incorporated designs, manufactures and markets brake systems, hydraulic components and controls, primarily for off-road markets. For more information, contact MICO, Incorporated, 1911 Lee Boulevard, North Mankato, MN 56003, call 507-625-6426, fax 507-625-3212, send an e-mail to micomail@mico.com or visit the companyys Web site at www.mico.com
