Big job, well done Throughout September and October we were working with a new customer on a requirement for compressors which then became one of our largest single orders of recent history. We secured the order at a time of staff change and extremely high levels of activity across the board, and it had to be delivered in stages before …

The use of an Orifice Plate in a sprinkler pipe system
An Orifice Plate is quite simply a thin plate with a hole in it (think of a ring doughnut), used to reduce the pressure or restrict the flow in a pipe system. It can be made of any non-corroding material; at Sale Engineering we generally use brass, although we have made special plates in a number of other alloys. The plate …
