Why is cost data used as a guide and a reference whereas market data is used only as a reference? The answer is the difference in detail and reliability. One can imagine the implications of a hose company cutting back on detailed cost analysis and relying just on total costs for guidance. This article will discuss the process of using a niche-by-niche route to achieve 30% earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and appreciation (EBITDA). Have you read this article yet?

US-based LifeGuard Technologies has released a new vacuum jacketed safety hose specifically designed for liquid hydrogen and helium transfer. Equipped with insulation and LifeGuard’s patented and patent pending safety internal shutoff system, the new hose is hoped to provide the insulation value, quality and safety required to transport liquid hydrogen. Utilising an engineering compression spring system with two non-return value within each fitting, the safety system is built into the new hose which will cause the internal valves to engage and the piping to remain intact while slow has stopped ..read more

Almost all automobiles still use power steering systems to mitigate drivers’ handling forces.1 A hydraulic power steering system is largely composed of an oil pump, a steering gearbox, and a power steering hose.

In the Air, Water, and Energy markets, specifically with regard to hoses and couplings, there is a notable difference between sales and cost control analysis. The difference can be seen in how well the analysis is organized and the atten­tion that is paid to detail. The hose industry achieves Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of 15-20%, but this percentage could, and should, be ten points higher.

Consumer confidence in driving hydrogen-fueled vehicles could be improved by having station operators adopt a predictive model that helps them anticipate maintenance needs, according to researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Colorado State University (CSU). Stations shutting down for unscheduled maintenance reduces hydrogen fueling availability to consumers and may slow adoption of these types of fuel cell electric vehicles, the researchers noted. The use of what is known as a prognostics health monitoring (PHM) model would allow hydrogen ..read more
