Used for automatic fluid control in automation systems. Available in normally closed and normally open types. Direct-acting type for orifices below Ø6mm. Pilot-operated type for orifices above Ø10mm. Operates with zero line pressure and low vacuum
First transistor invented by Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley in 1947. Semiconductors use electrons and holes as charge carriers. Germanium was initially used, later replaced by silicon due to cost and temperature advantages. Silicon forms protective oxide film during high-temperature processing
Silicone is a polymer composed of repeating siloxane units. Typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Exhibits low thermal conductivity and chemical reactivity. Resistant to water, oxygen, UV light, and microorganisms
ARMAT offers clamp connections meeting DIN 32676, ISO 1127, ISO 2852, ASME and BS standards. Made from AISI 316L or DIN 1.4404 materials. Available in various sizes from DN 4 to DN 300
Silicone is a polysiloxane polymer with alternating oxygen and silicon atoms. It is made from silica, a common form of sand. Unlike silicon, silicone has no carbon in its molecular backbone
Gasket is a seal that holds two surfaces together. Most common type is flat with circular cross-section. Must withstand pressure without deformation and resist corrosion
