  • Industrial coating with color-change responsivity to acid and base contact
    Patent number: 11680181
    Abstract: A latex-based surface coating that can be applied to the surface of equipment to detect any leaks of acid or base onto the equipment. The latex-based surface coating changes color when a strong acid and/or a strong base makes contact with the surface coating, thereby providing a visual indication that a leak of a strong acid and/or a strong base has occurred. The surface coating is able to provide visual indications for acids with a pH between 0 and 3 in the liquid or gas phase. The surface coating is also able to provide visual indications for bases with a pH between 9 and 14 in the liquid or gas phase.

  • Casing spacer with roller assembly guards
    Patent number: 11578823
    Abstract: A casing spacer that fits around a carrier pipe at various intervals along the length of the carrier pipe for the purpose of positioning the carrier pipe within a casing pipe. The casing spacer is equipped with roller assemblies on the outside surface of the casing spacer. The roller assemblies are protected by guards to help the roller assemblies avoid obstacles that may exist on the inner surface of the casing pipe.

  • Fire rated isolation washer
    Patent number: 11365760
    Abstract: A washer for protecting a flange. The washer is capable of withstanding high compression loads, protecting a flange plate from galvanic corrosion, and maintaining torque load when a flange joint is exposed to extreme heat. The washer has two primary components—an inner ring and an outer ring—that are preferably made of materials having dielectric properties, particularly with respect to electrical insulation. The inner ring and outer ring are preferably fit together using an interference fit.

  • Low-profile casing spacer roller for high-capacity loads
    Patent number: 10927978
    Abstract: A casing spacer equipped with low-profile, high-load-capacity roller assemblies that require less force to install a carrier pipe inside a casing pipe. The low-profile, high-load-capacity roller assemblies are manufactured from a material designed to carry a heavy load, which material will not wear away as the carrier pipe is pushed or pulled through the casing pipe. The wheels of the low-profile, high-load-capacity roller assemblies are manufactured from an electronically isolating material to prevent contact of dissimilar metals, thereby mitigating galvanic corrosion.
