• Sealing

Attention customers struggling with "high-temperature" manhole gaskets!

On November 1, 2015, the "RCF regulation" was implemented, which essentially prohibits the use of sealants made from ceramic fibers. The commonly used alternative is "biodegradable fibers." Several years have passed since similar products have been released by other manufacturers, but we have recently been hearing feedback from job sites such as the following: "The material is weak during installation." "When the lid is opened, it crumbles." The MacThermo Bio-HD series is a product that has been reinforced by knitting each weak thread with metal wire, making it stronger than previous versions. It has already been successfully used in coke ovens at steel mills, so please check the details below!

The gasket during flange release suppresses the sticking of the packing, significantly reducing flange cleaning time!

The anti-seizing spray eCLEAR is a gasket anti-seizing spray based on inorganic minerals. Please apply it to the gasket before tightening. This will help suppress seizing during opening. <Features> - Prevents gasket burning (seizing) to flanges! - Compatible with most gasket materials! - Significantly reduces flange cleaning time! - Excellent heat resistance up to 800℃ - Can be used in conjunction with gasket seal paste (seal auxiliary agent)! *It cannot remove gaskets that have already seized. Please apply it beforehand. *The heat resistance temperature depends on the performance of the base material gasket.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The 【 HDA-0100 series 】 currently available from Fukuda Corporation is a "Portable Hydrogen Leak Detector." ■ Compact and lightweight, convenient for carrying (approximately 400 g, including battery) ■ Battery-operated and cordless (continuous usage time of approximately 8 hours) ■ High sensitivity and wide range (0.5 ppm to 5000 ppm) hydrogen measurement is possible in a handy type It has features such as these. "What is a Hydrogen Leak Detector?" It is a tester that can measure leaks in small areas that could not be measured in air leak tests and can also identify leak points. It uses a tracer gas consisting of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen, an industrial mixed gas (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017). For more details, please refer to the links below for related links, product information, and catalogs.

The HDZ-0201 is a hydrogen leak detector designed for installation in equipment. It is used to measure the overall leakage from the entire inspected item (workpiece). - The atmospheric pressure chamber method involves covering the workpiece with a chamber, filling the inside of the workpiece with tracer gas, allowing the leaked gas to accumulate in the chamber, stirring the leaked gas, and forcing circulation to measure the gas concentration with a hydrogen detector. - The vacuum chamber method allows for high-sensitivity measurements by evacuating the chamber and then introducing atmospheric air into the chamber, directing the gas to the hydrogen detector. There are two methods available. It features a compact and lightweight design that is easy to integrate into equipment. Additionally, its concentration resolution capability is ultra-high sensitivity up to 0.1 ppm (depending on set conditions and environmental conditions). Detection principle: Semiconductor type Detection sensitivity: Equivalent to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (depending on inspection conditions and measurement environment) Usage: Equipment-integrated type (dedicated for installation in equipment) Resolution: 0.1 ppm Power supply voltage: DC 24 V External dimensions: W 93 × D 91 × H 97 mm
