FABTECH - Comprehensive Fluid Solutions for Tube & Pipe Manufacturers
Quaker Chemical presents versatile options for pipe manufacturing at FABTECH 2015
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Nov. 4, 2015 -- Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR, "Quaker") expands the breadth of their QUAKERCOOL 700 series platform with threading process fluid offerings for the mechanical, structural, and OCTG tube and pipe applications:
QUAKERCOOL 730 TP for standard threading
QUAKERCOOL 750 TP for premium threading
QUAKERCOOL 770 TP for ultra-premium threading
"For many tube and pipe manufacturers, the annual tooling costs for threading represent a significant expense as compared to the coolant costs. Depending on the complexity of the threading process, Quaker offers multiple solutions to help extend tool life and meet the needs of manufacturers," explained Susan Conley, Tube & Pipe Product Manager.
The metalworking coolants in the QUAKERCOOL 700 series are high performance mineral oil-free microemulsions with benefits including exceptional lubrication, short term corrosion protection, clean rinsing, and a wide water quality tolerance. They effectively resist microbiological growth and do not contain chlorinated compounds, formaldehyde release agents, boron, monoethanolamine, nor secondary amines. Modularly designed for flexibility and compatibility with upstream chemistries and downstream coatings, the QUAKERCOOL 700 series delivers a single product technology for use in multiple operations and with various substrates. In addition to thread cutting, the specialized products in this portfolio can also tackle roll forming and hydrotesting.
The QUAKERCOOL 700 series joins the Quaker "front-to-back" range of processing fluids and coatings for seamless and welded tube and pipe manufacturing. At the front end, Quaker offers fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, specialty greases, hot forming and rolling lubricants, and metalworking fluids while at the back end, it provides a wide range of corrosion preventives and transport coatings, including solvent-based, water-based, and ultraviolet coatings.
Quaker will be exhibiting at Booth N4087 in the Tube & Pipe Pavilion, North Hall 2 at FABTECH 2015, the largest metal-forming, fabricating, tube & pipe, and welding tradeshow in North America. The show takes place at the McCormick Place in Chicago, IL from November 9-12.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
