This is an area of 7.5 million people with 2.5 million gas supply points. WWU were using three types of gas detection equipment. All of them work by pumping a […]
A study led by scientific researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has detected unexpected physical behaviour of hydrogen gas when it burns. The flames are able to survive in more extreme conditions than previously thought. Hydrogen can propagate in incredibly narrow gaps. It can burn with very little fuel. It extends itself by breaking […]
Across all industrial sectors, automation is expanding. Therefore, so is the demand for multi-channel fibre optic cable, which is high-count and high-bandwidth and able to deliver an ever-increasing amount of data in a single cable. Installing pre-terminated, plug-and-play connectors that meet international standards has a considerable advantage to the oil and gas sector. In environments […]
