Gate Valve Variations And Their Usage Gate valves are an essential component in industrial applications, used to regulate the flow of fluids and gases. They are commonly found in pipelines, oil refineries, power plants, and other industrial settings where the control of fluid flow is crucial. But what exactly are gate valves? And why are…
The True Cost Of Low-Quality PVF Components Substances like petroleum, chemicals, or small solids require PVF components for transfer. No matter what industry you’re in, like oil, gas, or pipe fabrication, you’ll need PVF supply. PVF includes pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, and other parts. Each one of these plays an important part in any application.…
Have you ever found it difficult to get the quality PVF components you need to your job site on time? Have you ever called up a PVF supplier only to be told they couldn’t find the part you need? You must not have called TPC Industrial. We specialize in the impossible whether it’s getting parts…
Welcome back to another one of our special blogs revisiting some of our most frequently asked questions. This is part two in a limited series that compiles some of our best questions in a single blog. Being a leading PVF distributor, we like to make sure we’re always educating our customers. When they know what…
A: In short, yes—seamless pipe has a better pressure capacity and its overall strength is stronger than ERW. When you’re sourcing steel pipe for your project you need to determine what kind of steel pipe you need. Whether it’s being used on an oil rig, in a nuclear power plant, or a desalination plant—there’s a…
A: A PVF distributor is set up to distribute pipe, valves, fittings, bolts, and gaskets. Really anything that is needed in the petrochemical, refinery, downstream, or pipe fabrication. “Why do I need a PVF distributor? Isn’t one parts dealer the same as the next? Why don’t I just get all my parts from a…
A: Seamless pipe is formed by forcing molten metal through a round die to create a continuous tube of metal. Steel pipe is typically used in pipe systems that transport fluids or gases. At TPC we carry many kinds of steel pipe for a variety of different applications. Steel pipe has become the go-to option…
A: PVF stands for pipe, valves, and fittings. It’s really a slang term that we use in our industry because what we do encompasses a lot more than pipe valves and fittings. Anything that the plants need to run their facilities is what we sell. Whether it be hoses and assemblies, couplings, pipe—anything they need,…
A: Rubber hoses are used for the transfer of water, air, petroleum, chemicals, and dry bulk material with higher temperature and pressure ratings. Imagine the rugged sound of the diesel engine on an excavator, a jet ski skimming across Lake Houston, or factory machinery. There’s a lot of moving parts there and that means a…
A: Custom fabricated supports are what we do in-house to make sure that we can get you any fabricated support you need. It’s mainly for petrochemical refineries—shoes, t-supports, anything you need. We create supports that directly reflect the specifications and dimensions taken directly from your isometric drawings. We can also do hot-dipped galvanizing once they’re…
