Hose clamps are widely utilized in maritime settings to fasten hoses onto connections in order to stop leaks and guarantee the integrity of fluid systems aboard ships and boats. These are some salient features of their use in maritime settings.

Material Selection: Because marine environments are exposed to seawater, they can be corrosive. Therefore, materials that are resistant to corrosion, like stainless steel, should be utilized for hose clamps used in these types of applications. Marine applications can benefit from the strength and rust and corrosion resistance of stainless steel hose clamps.

Sealing: In order to keep leaks in marine systems, proper sealing is essential. By evenly exerting pressure all over the line, hose clamps create a tight seal and guarantee a safe connection between the hose and the fitting. This is crucial for the ship’s many fluid systems, such as the hydraulic, fuel, and water systems.

Vibration Resistance: Engines, waves, and other causes cause constant vibration in marine vessels. For the connections to remain intact, hose clamps need to be strong enough to tolerate this vibration without loosing.

Adjustability: During upkeep or repairs, hoses occasionally need to be taken out or changed. The installation and removal of adjustable hose clamps can be done quickly and easily without the use of specialized tools, making maintenance jobs on marine vessels easier.

Environmental Conditions Resistance: Hose clamps used in marine applications need to be resistant to UV rays and extremely high or low temperatures in addition to being corrosion-resistant. This guarantees its durability and dependability in challenging maritime environments.

The Oracle of Quality Testing: Salt-Spray Tests

The phrase “salt-spray test” describes an accelerated corrosion test that is applied to various products and materials to assess their performance in a salty environment.

Usually, a saline solution is sprayed on the material to be tested once it is placed inside a chamber.

It is significant to note that, given that the materials are exposed to a very high concentration of sodium chloride (typically 5% NaCl), many of the natural variables that cause corrosion are not taken into account in this test. The concentration of salt in this mixture is alarmingly high, as it is rarely found in outdoor applications.

The following parameters are used when conducting salt-spray tests:

The test samples are placed into a chamber at a predetermined temperature (usually 35ºC) and misted or finely sprayed with a 5% sodium chloride saline solution.

The duration of the test can range from 24 to 1000 hours. Throughout the trial, the samples are maintained at a constant temperature and moisture content. To ensure that the saline solution covers the entire surface, each sample is also rotated at regular intervals.

Oxidation of the sample’s surface is the test’s outcome. The number of hours needed before the sample’s surface exhibits oxidation for the first time is measured. The numer of hours before 5% of the surface oxidizes is one of the other techniques.

Jolly Clamps come with a variety of surface treatments and are made of different materials. The article’s resistance to corrosion is determined by the combination of these two factors.

According to ASTM B117 (Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray).

India’s Journey Towards Green Mobility: The First Breakthrough

During an interview with Press Trust of India, Nitin Gadkari this week, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, emphatically declared to transform India into a green economy to promote environmentally friendly mobility by completely eliminating both the petrol and diesel engine vehicles. However, the minister declined to indicate a definite timeline and milestone for attaining such an ambitious target; though he appeared confident about the wave of changes that are expected to happen over the next five to seven years.

This idea stemmed from the fact that India spent close to US$17.00 billion on Crude Oil imports last year as a result of which, it is incumbent to develop alternate fuel for sustainability and self-reliance towards our avowed goal of AtmaNirbhar Bharat by promoting the use of biofuels to allow India to end its dependence on crude oil imports.

The Union Minister further proposed a reduction of GST on hybrid vehicles to five per cent and flex engines to 12 per cent, an initiative which is currently under active consideration by the Finance Ministry to give a fillip to the production and use of such vehicles.

Reacting to the statement of the Minister, environmental activists welcomed the increasing initiative to develop green mobility in India.

6 Important Green Flags to Look for At Your Workplace

What do you look for, when you’re evaluating a prospective job? Only the responsibilities, benefits, and pay, right? Wrong. If one of the top five things on your job checklist is not the work culture, you’re not doing it right. So, what should you keep an eye out for? Let us help you out with it.

Diversity and inclusivity feel genuine

A big green flag, here, is when you are made to feel nothing at all about being different. Of course, we don’t want discrimination, but patronisation is just as bad — it shows ingenuity and can also indicate inconsistency. When you feel nothing — not special or terrible — for being different, you are seen as an equal. At the same time, you are included and valued, just like other employees.

Differences are welcomed

When ideas take contradictory paths, they are received well. They are not dismissed or ridiculed. Leaders and coworkers who hear you out no matter how opposed they are to your idea, are definitely something you should look for. You are heard, your proposals are considered and evaluated, and you are encouraged to express more ideas even if they might not be agreed to by everyone.

Mistakes are allowed

Employees are given the space to err. And when they do go wrong, they are understood and guided in the right direction. Every folly is considered to be an avenue for growth and thus, a positive outlook is fostered. They are taught to not fear making mistakes and to recalibrate their strategy to come out stronger.

Synergistic development is encouraged

The organisation cares about employees’ growth and ensures that their team grows with them. And not just professionally. If people feel burdened mentally, then breaks and rest is encouraged. Self-check-ins are encouraged, and employee check-ins are put in place to ensure that employees are well-equipped mentally and physically to perform to the highest standards. Employees are shown that they cared for, verbally and through actions, too.

Gossip is not tolerated

Gossip, badmouthing and such is openly discouraged. Although it cannot be stopped in any workplace, realistically, employees are given the freedom to express displeasure respectfully and healthily, so as to avoid gossip and rumours. Employees are taught to have an open and healthy discussion in a practicable manner.

Conflicts are navigated through and dealt with in a healthy manner

Disagreement and displeasure are displayed in a respectful and non-toxic manner. No one is attacked or demeaned in the process. Keeping a peaceful environment is prioritised. Clear boundaries are maintained for what is okay to say and what isn’t. And when working together is necessary during an ongoing conflict, the people involved ensure to make it a comfortable working environment for the rest of the team.
