History of Valves

Valves are used in regulating the flow of a fluid. The Roman Empire was unmatchable in early days in controlling and storage of fresh waters. In fact the castellum was the first water Sewerage system in the historic city of Pompeii. 

The distribution and regulation of water from the aqueduct through 3 outlets was done by the castellum. Egg shaped Lead Pipe was used in the transportation of water. Unfortunately the  ancient city of Pompeii was buried under the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The excavations have led to the finding of bronze valves which were used to pump water uphill to the castellum.

With the technological advancement in the modern times our piping system as a whole have improved dramatically. Valves are being used in wide range of industry and are also being governed by different regulations. The various governing standards as per region are ISO,ANSI,EN,BSI,DIN,JSA etc. 

These valves handle pressures in excess of 2500 PSI and temperature of around thousand degree Fahrenheit. This makes them vulnerable to leaks and failures.

We at INDANA are bringing these spillage in control and giving a safe channel for the fluid to pass without making any effective pressure on the walls of a he containing Valve spray shield. These shields are designed for proper fitting to avoid any slightest of spillage. What makes them unique is they have a layer of PTFE stitched on the sides with see through PVC in the middle. This makes visual inspection of leakage from the valves easily possible and thus can result in immediate corrective action. Special ropes and Velcro are used for fastening. These Valve Spray Guards are easy to tie and ideally would take less than 60 seconds.

What is the most commonly used material for nuts and bolts?

Be it construction or any other major industry the role of nuts and bolts and other types of fasteners are critical. Thus they determine the overall strength and structure of the largest structures.  So in case you happen to have your business in the manufacturing or construction sector we are sure that you would be interested to know what the commonly used materials for nuts and bolts are. So let us understand the different types of materials used. The different types of fastener materials used Fasteners are made with   a wide variety of  of material s . These include everything from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Some of these materials are again separated into different grades. This is done to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening as well as processes involved.  Apart from this some nuts and bolts are available with a variety of coatings or platings.   This is done to increase the resistance against corrosion or alter the appearan

Properties of HSFG Bolts

Bolts are extensively used as a fastener. They serve various purposes and there may be various types of bolts. We at  Indiana Steel  being in the steel business since long and are involved in the manufacture and supply of various kinds of fasteners includes bolts. Of the various types of bolts which are in use the HSFG bolts are widely used. These are on account of the properties they have. In this blog we will explain to you what they are and their properties and benefits of using them.   HSFG bolts what they are? How they are made? High Strength Friction Grip Bolts are popularly known are HSFG bolts. They are made from bars of medium carbon steel. These bolts have great strength. Their high strength is built through the process of quenching and tempering.  This process is also known as alloying steel. Steel washers of hard steel or carburized steel are provided to evenly distribute the clamping pressure on the bolted member and to prevent the threaded portion of t

Material Types For Flange Guard

Safety is one of the key requirements for many industries like chemicals and petrochemicals which require the transportation of hazardous chemicals. These can expose the working personnel and the equipment at the plant to considerable risks. Flange guards are safety shields which shield the working personnel and the surrounding equipment at such plants.  This is why their use has been mandatory in the industries of today. However while installing flange guards at your plant you must ensure that they of high strength, easy to install, offer great efficiency and must be of the best material which suits your need. We at   Indana Steel   being one of the leaders in manufacture and supply of different types of flange guards list some of the types of materials which are used for the manufacture guards. Flange guards: the materials used  Teflon You would usually find in the market flange guards which have a teflon coating. This helps the flange guards in increasing its effic
