TIVAR* MEANS ABRASION RESISTANCE

 

GAS MASTRRR sets a higher standard over conventional metal rotating propeller components with the use of TIVAR*. This space age polymer offers a unique combination of high impact strength, abrasion and chemical corrosion resistance. TIVAR* has excellent chemical resistance to both liquid and gas chemicals and exhibits zero water absorption. TIVAR* also has a low coefficient of friction that approaches that of Teflon. This low coefficient of friction is extremely important when mixing chemicals that have a tendency to scale.

GAS MASTRRR units utilize an innovative non-fouling vacuum cavity distributor constructed of a UHMW Polyethylene material called TIVAR*. This material meets and exceeds the challenge of harsh water and wastewater environments. When rotating continuously at 3450 RPM in an environment full of sand and solids, impact and abrasive resistant materials are essential. TIVAR* reduces the component wear because of its unique molecular structure making it inherently superior at withstanding abrasive action. Various tests performed on TIVAR* to stimulate actual abrasion show it to surpass up to six times the abrasion resistance of the most common metals used in propeller design. One of these test's is the sand slurry abrasion test. In this test each material is weighed, rotated at 1750 RPM in a 50/50 sand/water slurry mixture for seven hours and weighed again. Carbon Steel is rated at 100. The number for each material depicts the relative weight loss due to abrasion, the lower the figure, the better the abrasion resistance.
All tests were performed by The Menasha Corporation makers of TIVAR*.

Sand Slurry Abrasion Test & Coefficient of Friction.

Tivar protects against excessive wear in wastewater applications and exibits zero water absorption. Tivar is tough enough to protect the steel walls and beds of dump trucks and rail cars from sand or gravel abrasion. Tivar has an extremely high impact resistance and is ideally suited for raw water intake, wastewater and CSO basin applications.
