Overmolding is done through a process of injection molding in which two or more different materials are used to combine wires and make them into a singular component. To better understanding overmolding , it’s important to have a thorough understanding of how it works.   1.       The cable assembly is placed inside a mold 2.       Molten plastic material is poured into the cavity of the mold 3.       Once cooled, the plastic material solidifies into the shape of the mold and covers the junction point between the wire and its connector The Many Benefits Of Overmolded Cable So, why do people go through the trouble of combining wires into single components? The biggest advantage of doing so is increasing the longevity and reliability of cables and their components. ·          Better Flexibility With overmolding, the flexibility at the cable exit is strengthened. You might subject the cable to more pulling and strain near its connector, and with the help overmolding, there

 If you're like most people, you've probably had a tough time finding the right mud pump with all the options available in the market This article will highlight some important things you should know before buying mud pumps. What Are Mud Pumps? Mud pumps are a machine with a vacuum that is used to pull water from low-lying areas and into the sewage system. The units are usually powered by electricity, but they can also be operated on gas or steam. They work by using air pressure to exert force on water, which then forms a stream in the pump hose. Once this stream is formed, it pushes the water through an intermediate chamber and out of one or two outlets before circulating back into the input chamber for re-injection. At this point, most mud pumps will have another outlet from which they can utilize the output flow downstream for agricultural purposes such as irrigation or crop flows. What Are They Used for? Mud pumps are usually used in municipal wastewater plants

Pad Type Weight Indicators are an important drilling instrument used for oilfield drilling operations. They're used by drillers to measure the weight on the surface and downhole. This blog post will share some important details about using pad-type weight indicators. Why Are Weight Indicators Important? A pad type indicator helps the driller ensure that the hook load is properly monitored. An inability to do so can result in some serious problems and delayed operations. To avoid any trouble in the middle of the work, it's very important to use the right weight indicator with a clear purpose in mind. Different Types of Weight Indicators You can find two different kinds of weight indicators in the market: diaphragm and pad type. Although both are based on a closed-loop hydraulic system, there are some key differences in how and why they’re used. Both of these weight indicators come with load dials that you can change for sensing different pressures of the rigging syste

Mud pressure gauges are highly accurate pressure measuring devices that are used in a multitude of industries. The demand for these products is dependent on energy needs across the globe. Therefore, due to the rising energy needs, mud pressure gauges are in high demand in developing countries .   These devices are designed to withstand harsh working environments and can operate at temperatures as high as 120 degrees and vibration ranging up to 15Hz. Simply speaking, mud pressure gauges measure the static mud pressure, which means they are used in drilling, mining, petroleum, chemical, and energy sectors. What Is A Mud Pressure Gauge? The basic working principle of the pressure gauge is that it measures the force that the fluid exerts contained in a tube that moves the pointer. The mud pressure gauges contain a built-in dampening mechanism that diminishes any gauge fluctuations to measure even minor pressure changes accurately. These features enable mud pressure gauges to be

From weighing instruments to medical equipment to drilling tools, load cells are used in a wide variety of applications. But what exactly are they? [Fun fact: The circuit used for load cells was invented almost a century before load cells were created.] Let’s find out more about load cells, how they work, where they are used, and what makes them so interesting! Load Cells: What They Are Simply put, load cells are transducers that convert mechanical forces into readable electrical signals. Load cell sensors typically work with strain gauges, although hydraulic and pneumatic load cells also exist. However, strain gauge load cells are used most commonly. Load Cells: How They Came to Be Before strain gauge load sensors came along, mechanical lever scales were used for weighing applications. However, the foundation of load cells was laid when Sir Charles Wheatstone, an English physicist, invented the Wheatstone bridge in 1843. This circuit could measure unknown electrical re

Over-molded cables are extremely adaptable, functional, versatile, and favorable in a range of circumstances that occur on an oil rig. They can be customized for use under the guidelines of any design specifications. The cable ends are always protected because the pin connectors and wire are enclosed within a terminated shell. Since oilfield extraction companies can’t afford power delays or bad connectivity, over-molded make sure that operations are never disrupted. They are the most popularly used cable assembles in oilfield instrumentation today, and here’s more on that. Other Features Cable assemblies come with different kinds of thermoset or thermoplastic materials. Injection molding can be made to provide various mechanical properties that can be adjusted according to the oilfield conditions and environmental factors. Oilfield infrastructure is complex and requires extra safety to prevent electrical (and other) hazards. Over-molded cables provide resistance against stress

Fractional distillation is a purification process for crude oil that helps separate different components at various boiling temperatures. Crude oil predominantly consists of alicyclic, aromatic, and aliphatic hydrocarbons . But there are other organic substances in it, too, including carbon (84%), sulfur (up to 3%), nitrogen (1%), oxygen (1%), and mineral salts (0.1%). All the elements found in crude oil have different densities, proportions, and boiling points. In order to separate them, the raw substance is treated to high temperatures so that once the liquid arrives at one element’s boiling point, it can be distilled. This process is known as fractional distillation. Here’s more on how fractional distillation works. Heating the Liquid First , crude oil is heated with a high-pressure steam to a high temperature of approximately 1112 degrees Fahrenheit or 600 degrees Celsius. Once the mixture arrives at its boiling point, the element with the lowest boiling point starts to vapo
