As the UK continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming months, components like solenoid valves and oxygen sensors play a crucial role in a fight driven not by offensive weapons, but by instruments of science. Coronavirus attacks the lungs, making it more difficult for the patient to get enough oxygen. As yet, no […]
Crew working aboard ships, ferries and superyachts in the current COVID-19 pandemic face a unique challenge to keep passengers and crewmembers safe in a climate of elevated concerns about hygiene.

Cave diving is a true thrillseeker’s pastime regarded as one of the world’s most dangerous extreme sports, as you venture into the unknown – especially when passing through a sump where the tunnel is completely submerged in water. As a cave diver it is essential to protect your own safety. Plenty of lighting for good […]
A ‘crash test’ by Yachting Monthly highlighted the dangers of gas explosions on boats, which can be catastrophic for the vessel and fatal to crew and passengers. In a Yachting Monthly article describing the test, Chris Beeson wrote: “A gas explosion is in a different league. It’s unpredictable and there are no half measures. You […]
Why is a solenoid valve used? A solenoid valve is used to control the flow of a fluid – including both gases and liquids – through a pipe. There are different types of solenoid valves. Some have more than one inlet or multiple outlets, allowing them to divert flow or choose between several different fluids. […]
Solenoid valves use electromagnets to open and close a valve, controlling the flow of water or another fluid through the valve. At their most basic, solenoid valves operate by passing current through a coil of wire. This induces a magnetic field that can be used to move an armature, opening or closing the valve. However, […]
