Manufacturing professionals working within critical applications, including the biotech field, know the importance of quality auxiliary equipment. The magnetic level gauge is an example of this essential equipment. Magnetic level gauges offer highly accurate fluid measurement capacities, accurately measuring the fluid level in boilers, tanks, and process vessels. Scroll down to learn more about the …
Types of Tank Access Ports
Manufacturing professionals know that key chemical processes don’t stop when a product goes into a tank. Monitoring processes is a key part of quality control – which means plant operators need safe tank access. Tank access ports and handholes allow quick access into the tank interior for a variety of key processes, including product inspection …
The Importance of Ferrule Gaskets
Manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food and beverage industries know the importance of easy clamp connection cleaning. Disassembling, cleaning, and reattaching clamp connections – things like ferrules – should be fast, easy, and completely sanitary. Proper clamp connections can also make the difference between an efficient manufacturing process and a costly leak.
Exploring Tank Manways
Tank manways are important components in the vast majority of pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, and food and beverage tanks allowing the user access into the vessel. At Tank Components Industries (TCI), our tank manways are available for low-, mid-, and high-pressure applications, with a crevice-free design that lends itself well to sanitary applications. To explore the possibilities, …
Exploring Flow Indicators
Manufacturing sight glasses are an important part of product control. After all, you can’t control the quality of your product if you can’t see the interactions taking place within your process vessel. However, some manufacturing processes are a bit too complex to observe with the naked eye. Enter flow indicators, which allow a precise read …
How Undiffused and Diffused Light Affect Stainless Steel
With its exceptional chemical resistance and superior mechanical properties, stainless steel is a popular choice of material for many industrial applications. It is hygienic, it can withstand harsh conditions, and it works well in a variety of environments. From chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing to food and beverage applications, stainless steel is an ideal material for …
Hemispherical Heads
Hemispherical heads are a popular choice for pressure vessels due to their ideal shape, which divides the pressure in the vessel equally across the head’s surface. Also known as hemispherical tank heads or hemispherical dished ends, they’re commonly used on liquid and gas storage tanks. At Tank Components Industries, we construct our multi-piece hemispherical heads …
Exploring ASME Standards
Your company’s reputation is only as solid as the quality of your products, and producing a quality product means sticking to rigorous standards throughout the entire production timeline. At Tank Components Industries (TCI), we know firsthand that a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and detail-oriented production methods go a long way toward ensuring quality. However, we’re also serious …
Advantages of 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting
Manufacturing isn’t a one-size-fits-all business. For manufacturers, there’s nothing more frustrating than identifying a part that’s been cut to a size that’s almost right – but not quite. If a part is chipped or the angles are slightly off, you may have to restart your entire project from scratch. Precision is a non-negotiable when it …
