Characteristics and Uses of Commonly Used Materials Material Material Characteristics and Applications ABS ABS offers good toughness, surface gloss, excellent processability, dimensional stability, and high impact resistance. With over 100 grades available, it is widely used in engineering plastics for various applications. ABS Flame Retardant This material has flame-retardant properties, but its performance may be slightly reduced after modification. It has improved fluidity and tends to decompose easily. Commonly used in the outer casings of electrical products. ABS + Glass Fiber Reinforced with glass fiber, this material improves strength and rigidity but reduces fluidity and increases internal stress. It is suitable for wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant parts. ABS + AS A blend that combines the strengths of both materials. It enhances toughness and hardness while improving fluidity. Often used in toys and electrical appliances. ABS + PC An alloy material that enhances PC’s impact resistance and strength while improving fluidity and surface gloss through ABS. Widely used in mobile phone cases, battery covers, and automotive components. PA6 PA6 offers good toughness, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, it absorbs moisture easily and requires drying before use. Commonly used in bearings and mechanical parts. PA6 + Glass Fiber Enhanced with glass fiber, this material increases strength and rigidity but reduces fluidity and may show visible fibers on the surface. Used in internal wear parts. PA12 Used in water meters, cable sleeves, and sliding mechanisms. It has good flexibility, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance but is prone to decomposition at high temperatures. PA12 + Glass Fiber Improved strength and rigidity with reduced fluidity. Surface fibers may be visible, and it is sensitive to high temperatures. PA66 More commonly used in the automotive industry and parts requiring high impact resistance and strength. Offers better cold resistance compared to PA6. PA66 + Glass Fiber Strength and impact resistance are enhanced, but fluidity decreases. Suitable for high-stress internal components. PBT Widely used in household appliances and automotive parts. It has good flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Known as one of the five major engineering plastics. PBT + Glass Fiber Reinforced with glass fiber, this material improves toughness, strength, and chemical resistance. Fluidity is reduced, and deformation is minimized. PC Used in electrical equipment, transportation, and consumer goods. Offers high hardness and impact resistance. Often referred to as "bulletproof plastic" due to its durability. PC + Glass Fiber Improves toughness, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Can replace many metal parts in practical applications. PC + PBT Combines the best features of PC and PBT. Offers good impact resistance, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Used in gearboxes and automotive bumpers. PE-HD High-density polyethylene is used in refrigerators, containers, and kitchenware. It has high crystallinity, good chemical stability, and impact resistance but poor flow characteristics. PE-LD Low-density polyethylene is soft, flexible, and has good cold resistance. Often used in blow molding and compression molding for bins and pipe couplings. PEI Used in automotive, electronics, and medical industries. Offers strong mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and high insulation. Can replace some metal parts. PEI + Glass Fiber Enhances mechanical properties and strength. Requires high mold temperature to improve surface finish. Used for internal functional parts in electrical appliances. PET Used in automotive and electrical components. Has good flexibility and mechanical properties but is prone to decomposition at high temperatures. Often used for internal parts and wearing components. PET + Glass Fiber Reinforced with glass fiber, it improves flexibility and mechanical properties. Used in internal parts and wearing components of electrical appliances. PMMA Known as acrylic or plexiglass, PMMA has high light transmission (up to 92%) and is used in mirrors and optical discs. It is hard and requires special screws during processing. POM Offers low friction and good geometric stability, ideal for gears and bearings. It has high-temperature resistance but can degrade easily at high temperatures. POM + Glass Fiber Reinforced with glass fiber, it increases strength and rigidity. May decompose easily at high temperatures and can replace some metal parts. PP High flexibility, good fluidity, and thermal stability. Unmodified PP is often used for screw cleaning and is known as 100% plastic. PP + Glass Fiber Improves toughness and thermal resistance but reduces fluidity and viscosity. Less likely to degrade at high temperatures. PPE Used in household goods and electrical equipment. Offers good mechanical properties and heat resistance. Blended with PA66 for better chemical stability. PPO Excellent dimensional stability and electrical insulation. Poor fluidity and tendency to stress crack. Used in precision parts. PS Commonly used in packaging, toys, and household goods. Divided into GPPS and HIPS, it balances flexibility and hardness. GPPS modified with SAN can replace PMMA. PS + Flame Retardant Enhanced flame resistance but may decompose and carbonize easily. Mostly used in the outer casings of electrical devices. PVC Used in pipes, wall panels, and medical equipment. Non-flammable, weather-resistant, and has good fluidity. Density affects hardness and application range. AS Transparency is second only to PMMA. Used in cosmetics packaging and electrical parts. Offers better fluidity and less screw wear than PMMA. AS + Glass Fiber Improves strength and thermal resistance. Reduces thermal expansion and increases toughness. ASA is a newer version with added flame retardancy. PPS Good chemical resistance and rigidity, but poor impact resistance. Used in internal functional parts where stability is required. PEEK High-temperature and wear-resistant, with excellent mechanical properties. Often used to replace metal in wear parts like gears and bearings. PPA High-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant. Used in metal replacements for fittings and components in harsh environments. Rubber High flexibility and elasticity. Rarely used for single injection molding. Most commonly used in blow molding and compression molding for various products.

Microbend Mass Flow Meter

Sealand is a trustworthy manufacturer of Microbend Mass Flow Meter, Microbend Mass Flowmeter, Microbend Coriolis Mass Flow Meter, Microbend Coriolis Mass Flowmeter.

Site Selection for Mass Flow Meter Installation
a) Sensor stays away from mechanical vibration source, for example, pump. Use flexible pipe to connect meter with pipeline if inevitable. The housing of meter must be standalone, out of touch with any other device. There must be 3 times the size of sensor between 2 sensors if there are many flow meters on the same pipeline, to avoid resonance.
b) Do not install sensor on pipeline that easily expands with hot and contracts with cold, especially near expansion joint, which leads to a worse stability.
c) Sensor stays away from industrial electromagnetic field, such as large generator and transformer, better 5m at least. Such device influences the performance of drive coil and pickoffs. Make sure magnetic field intensity less than 400A/m.
d) Sensor shall be installed on lower pipeline, to be easily full of fluid.
e) Make sure Ex-mark meet application requirements if in hazardous area.
f) Build a sunshade if the meter is under direct solar radiation. g) Keep the meter from corrosive liquid.
