Fluid systems to treat exhaust gases
Norma Group has secured a large order
from a vehicle and engine manufacturer
to develop and manufacture fluid
systems for the transportation of fluids
into the exhaust pipe to reduce nitrogen
oxides. The product solutions are manu-
factured for a series of different vehicle
platforms. Production will start in 2014.
The fluid pipes are an integral part of
the selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
technology that reduces nitrogen oxides
in exhaust gases. The components of
the Normaflex product group used
for this order include heated pipe
systems and joining technologies of
thermoplastics that convey urea into the
exhaust pipes. Higher exhaust emission
standards increase the demand for new
technologies to treat exhaust gases.
Norma Group manufactures a wide
range of engineered joining technology
solutions in three product categories
(clamp, connect and fluid), offering more
than 35,000 products and solutions
to approximately 10,000 customers in
80 countries. The engineered joining
products are employed in vehicles,
shipping, trains, aircraft and domestic
appliances as well as engines and
water pipelines. The company operates
a network of 17 manufacturing facilities
and ten additional sales and distribution
sites across Europe, North, Middle and
South America, and Asia Pacific.

Oklahoma’s oil industry hosts
helping hand event
Oklahoma-based Samson Investment
Company and a number of its peers in
the energy industry – including several
pipe companies – joined together late
last year to offer a helping hand to
families in need.
Samson was one of the local sponsors
of the inaugural Oilfield Helping Hands
Oklahoma Golf Tournament, held at
Meadowbrook Golf Course in Tulsa.
Through fundraising events Oilfield
Helping Hands assists oilfield families in
critical need of financial support. OHH
focuses on raising money and keeping
costs down to help someone in the
immediate oilfield community. Funds
raised during the golf tournament –
totalling over $30,000 – will be donated
to members of the Oklahoma-based
oilfield families who are in critical need
of financial assistance due to major
medical crises and other life-altering
events.
Kurt Primeaux, Samson Gulf Coast
division operations manager, said,
“Oilfield Helping Hands is committed to
lending a helping hand to those oilfield
families in need through no fault of
their own. Our primary objective is to
not cover all their needs, but to lend a
helping hand to help them get back on
their own two feet.”
In total the organisation has provided
more than $1.1mn in financial aid to 127
families.
