An occasional customer called us recently to make an enquiry in relation to the replacement of an electrical component for one of our compressors (well out of warranty, we might add at this stage). The problem was, at this particular building in the Canary Wharf area of London, that over time there appeared to be much confusion at their end …
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 …
As most of our customers will already know, here at Sale Engineering Products we are renowned for our sprinkler system air compressors which are specifically designed and built for dry, alternate, pre-action and tail-end fire sprinkler systems. At this time of year – autumn through to spring – we are especially busy in this regard as many alternate systems switch over from …
Sale Engineering is pleased to announce our first female workshop technician, recruited in August to help us satisfy growing demand for a number of our product lines – especially, at the moment, our pump initiation boards – and of course help support the team as we move forwards with our new products. Obviously the industry (engineering in general, not just …

Today marks the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. On 2nd September 1666 a small fire started at Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane just after midnight. The small fire soon turned into a catastrophic blaze, destroying the homes of 70,000 of the City’s 80,000 inhabitants. No one could have ever imagined a worse day for the City …
Pressure gauges make up part of the key component of any compliant fire sprinkler system. The system itself is made up of a series of pipes connected to fire sprinkler heads. The pipe network contains a constant water supply. This water has to be kept at an adequate pressure and flow rate. Intricate pressure gauges are used to maintain this …
Flow switches are a common part of all sprinkler systems. They detect that water is flowing in the sprinkler system and give an electrical signal to the fire alarm control system to tell it that the sprinklers are operating. Multiple switches will be present in any system design so that the location of the water flow and hence sprinkler operation …
Jockey pumps are an important part of a fire sprinkler system. Basically they are small pumps connected to a fire protection piping system with the aim to maintain uniform or artificially high pressure in the pipes. If a fire sprinkler is activated, there will be a pressure drop that will be sensed by the pump’s automatic controller. This will cause …
Air compressors have several applications, especially in the industrial sector. Basically, their task is to convert power into pressurised air that is then ready for use. We use air compressors for different purposes like, for instance, providing pressurised air for driving pneumatic HVAC control system valves in some buildings, we use them for paint spraying or for supplying large-scale industrial …
