Updated Stauff catalogue
The revised, and in some areas
significantly expanded, general product
catalogue is now available from Stauff,
the Germany-based fluid technology
specialist.
In a total of 682 pages, the ‘Stauff
One’ – initially released in spring
2011 – provides all relevant general,
ordering and technical information
about the company’s wide range
of fluid technology products for
mechanical and plant engineering and
maintenance, consisting of industrial
pipework components, test equipment
and hydraulic accessories from own
development and manufacturing.
In addition to several new series of filter
housings for hydraulic applications, the
most relevant new products added to
this edition of the catalogue include
various Diagtronics innovations, such
as the practical PPC-04-plus range of
handheld hydraulic testers with new
sensors, and the LPM-II particle monitor
for in-line installation.
In order to meet growing market require-
ments, Stauff has also added further
designs and sizes of SAE flanges and
high-pressure ball valves for regulating,
throttling and shutting off fluid media in
industrial and mobile hydraulics.
In addition to the German language
version, printed English and French
versions of the Stauff One general
product catalogue are available. For
on-screen viewing, the company
provides a CD-ROM with PDF files in all
three languages.
Users of mobile devices can visit
