New universal ball valve lockable stop plate
A new universal ball valve lockable stop plate features improved clearance characteristics.
These new lockable stop plates allow rotational retainers and adapters to be used directly with this firm's ball valves so equipped to clamp and retain them in compact and leak resistant assemblies against pumps, motors, actuators, filters, valves, and manifolds.
Alternatively compact in-line assemblies may be made.

New tool helps widen scope of 3D visualization
Newly launched TerraSpark Data Showcase is a data visualization tool designed to help seismic processing companies and data vendors communicate their products and discoveries to prospective customers.
The tool helps enable users to quickly demonstrate 3D volumes along with land grids, lease blocks, and other cultural information using a simple notebook or lap top PC. A client or prospective customer can scroll through the volumes, previewing the data before making a purchase decision and highlighting areas of interest for which they would like to purchase data.
Multiple attribute volumes can be displayed side-by-side or overlaid for easy comparison. Data security is maintained by encryption of the data before installation on a PC, and on-the-fly decryption for display in Data Showcase.

New sand screen
Its manufacturing technology has resulted in a close tolerance method of construction that produces a slim hole screen.
This new design involves the use of diffusion-bonded sintered-laminate woven wire mesh combined with an outer perforated protective shroud over a perforated base tube. The maker has developed a process to weld the media flush-on directly to the inner perforated tube of the screen assembly. This integrated process helps enhance the screen's strength.
