Reduce the Risks of Particulate Contamination, Seized and Galled Threads with Gall Resistant Fitting on UHP Pressure Gauge

Submitted by Don Eisenhart || Wika

Replacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate contamination from silver flaking, and minimize damage to the equipment caused by cross-threaded and/or seized fittings.

Selecting Linear Mechanics for a Vacuum Environment: 7 factors

Submitted by the Parker Electromechanical Team

The elimination of air and gases is a great start to be contaminant-free, but a vacuum chamber won't be empty of components when completing an application. You should ensure nothing in the chamber will cause contamination, including the linear mechanics.
