Parker Instrumentation has signed a representation agreement for its fluid instrumentation manifolds, valves and tube fitting product lines with Benfield Electric Japan (BEJ). Headquartered in Tokyo, BEJ has strong links with Japanese Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) houses, and will help Parker to provide local design-in advice and technical
support for oil & gas related instrumentation projects. Among Parker Instrumentation’s key new product lines it is targeting at Japanese EPCs is a family of compression tube fittings that handle pressures up to 15,000 PSI but uses the familiar compression assembly technique, and manifolds and valves that may be specified without taper thread interfaces – avoiding the reliability problems that can accompany the use of sealants.
