Parker Hannifin’s instrumentation products division will highlight its solutions which eliminate most of the common sources of problems on fluid instrumentation and hydraulic control systems at Offshore Europe 2011.
Groundbreaking development work has led to the company’s small-bore fitting, valve and manifold products incorporating many features that reduce the risk of system failure, leaks and process downtime.

Among the major potential problem sources that Parker’s instrumentation technology combats are the risks posed by corrosion, the large numbers of potential leak paths that are inherent with traditional system building techniques, and the risks posed by welding or “hot work”.
Parker is additionally highlighting the benefits of advanced materials and will detail a proven supply chain and machining capability for exotic-alloy versions of tube fittings and valves – especially for 6Mo material. Another key display this year is Parker’s ever-widening range of fitting and valve products that eliminate leak-prone taper threaded connections, and with it any need for PTFE tape or anaerobic sealant – another common cause of problems in the field.
Parker’s products in this area include valves and manifolds with integral compression tubing ends, and threadless piping interfaces that convert a standard flange to a compression tubing connection.
