For the oil and gas industry, finding and accessing new sources of energy depends on global availability of extraordinarily tough products that let you explore and extract resources buried deep beneath the earth’s surface.

WireCo WorldGroup supplies hard-working oil and gas products:

* Drill lines — cost-effective and maximum service life wire rope

* Offshore — steel wire rope for mooring, anchoring, towing, lifting, riser tensioners

* Below platform/deep water mooring — engineered, polyester ropes and high modulus polyethylene ropes

* Geophysical — non-metallic Aramid fiber ropes manufactured in a stranded construction with a durable extruded thermoplastic jacket      

* Electromechanical cable — mono-conductor and multi-conductor wirelines manufactured with multi-stage preforming and continuous hot pre-tensioning

* Mouldings —  engineered products for sub-sea risers and flow lines

At WireCo WorldGroup, we’re known for our global availability, product quality that exceeds industry standards, innovation and engineered solutions, and superior technical expertise. 

The New Dura 55 peristaltic hose pump is the latest addition to the Dura family, offering second-generation hose pump technology. Offering the market 20% more performance, high flow rates, lower maintenance. Reducing your overall life cycle costs.

Although the traditional prospector and drilling activities are the first images that may first come to mind when the subject of mineral exploration comes up, the greatest growth in recent years has been in non-contact (or at least non-drilling) geophysical techniques. Some of these may be possible from airborne and seaborne carriers, and even from space, offering several important advantages over more traditional methods.

It is widely recognised in all well-run mines that for working equipment to breakdown is not only bad for sustained production but it is bad for safety too. Hence the concept of planned preventative maintenance came about. However, the act of maintenance has many of its own hazards that maintenance practitioners and their assistants should be aware of.

Ever since it was first set in 1898, the Land Speed Record has been one of the most exalted and respected of human endeavours. During the years, as the technology has changed and become more advanced, the speeds have increased to become more comparable with fighter jets than anything found on the ground. 

The Bloodhound Project is the latest team to set its sights on the record with a stated aim of +1,000mph. WDS is one of the companies that is sponsoring the record attempt and helping to make the impossible possible. For more, click HERE.

The illegal trade of counterfeit generators is endangering the reputation and financial success of generating set manufacturers.

Counterfeiting is a wide-ranging crime which typically includes the practice of manufacturing goods, often of inferior quality, and selling them under a brand name without the owner's authorisation.

Companies invest significant amounts of time, money and effort developing their products to ensure they perform well, meet strict safety regulations and are made of quality materials. This is all absent in illegal, counterfeit and imitation products. To find out more click HERE

Micrometal is the specialist for mass production of photo etched metal parts in tight tolerances. Through photochemical machining very fine features can be fabricated on our continuous etching line. It enables production of endless strips of metal parts on reels, which are fit for further processing (eg, in the automobile industry). This so called Reel-to-Reel process is mastered by only a few etching companies worldwide.

The new VMC series of AKO is based on a multi-functional modular system which enables flexible exchange of the two types of body available (aluminium and stainless steel) and a wide range of different collar caps/flange types.

The different connection options are: flange connection; internal thread connection; tri-clamp connection; weld-on ends; threaded spigot (RJT connection).

Supplying compressed air/fluid (minimum pressure difference 2bar) into the casing of the air-operated Pinch Valve compresses the sleeve, which is specially manufactured with high rebound elasticity. The body's design guarantees that the sleeve can close freely to form a lip shape. This ensures that the product flow is completely sealed off tight and that the sleeve is guaranteed the longest service life at the same time. This closes the air-operated Pinch Valve and completely seals off the flow of the product.
 
The maximum operating pressure is dependent on the nominal diameter and is around 2-6 bar.

As soon as the supply of compressed air/fluid is interrupted and the air operated Pinch Valve casing is vented or drained, the specially manufactured sleeve is opened by its rebound elasticity/resilience, enabling the pressure in the medium to flow through the full passage of the air-operated Pinch Valves.
