USGS releases first study to assess global earthquake risk to mineral supplies
Earthquakes have the potential to substantially affect mining operations, leading to supply chain disruptions that adversely affect the global economy.
EXAIR’s new PEEK Pico Super Air Nozzle™ has been engineered to produce the highest performance attainable from a tiny nozzle. It delivers one of the smallest, most precise blowoffs available with an efficient, high volume, high velocity airflow. The overall length of the air nozzle measures 16mm with a diameter of only 5mm, permitting installation in tight spaces. Its PEEK thermoplastic construction provides self-lubricating qualities with a low coefficient of friction to produce non-marring protection for sensitive materials. PEEK thermoplastic has excellent chemical resistance and can withstand many harsh environments found in chemical, plating, etching and metal cleaning processes and thrives in seawater environments. The PEEK Pico Super Air Nozzle is suitable for blowoff, cooling and drying applications located in general industrial or corrosive environments.
The Model 1109-PEEK Pico Super Air Nozzle provides a narrowly focused air pattern. High amplification of airflow and a strong blowing force of 142 grams are achieved with minimal air consumption of 4.9 SCFM at 80 PSIG. EXAIR’s PEEK nozzles have a high temperature limitation of 160°C. Safe operation is assured since the airflow of the Pico Super Air Nozzle cannot be blocked, which meets the OSHA standard for dead-end pressure 29 CFR 1910.242(b). Sound level is very low at 68 dBA and meets OSHA noise requirement 29 CFR 1910.95(a), as well as being CE compliant.
Distributed by Compressed Air Australia, the Pico Super Air Nozzle is designed to easily replace existing wasteful nozzles or open pipes. The compressed air inlet is male M5 X 0.5. The Pico Super Air Nozzle is also available in Type 316 Stainless Steel and with NPT or BSP threading. For further details, please click here.
