Fluid Components Intl. (FCI)
Nothing damages a pump faster than heat build-up from dry running conditions. When there's no liquid for cooling, heat destroys a pump's bearings. [Keep Your Pumps Running]( a white paper from [Fluid Components International (FCI)]( explains how a point flow/level switch with a space-saving Vortab flow conditioner in your pump's process loop can prevent problems. FCI’s [FLT93 flow/level/temperature switches]( monitor for low flow situations and detect dry running conditions. Download our [FLT93 Series FlexSwitch brochure](.

[Bridging the Gap between Film Cast and Free Extrusion Liners](
[Bridging the gap between film cast and free extrusion liners](
Zeus
Zeus PTFE StreamLiner™ over-the-wire (OTW) extrusions have comparable wall thicknesses and flexibility to film cast liners, but with greater strength. Nominal wall thicknesses range from 0.004 in. (0.102 mm) – 0.00075 in. (0.01905 mm). Supplied in discrete lengths over silver-plated copper wire, these super-thin-walled liners allow increased lumen potential while maintaining the lowest possible profile for your finished device.
