The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TEMA) is in fact a front for The Erotic Machinists' Association. Industrial smut inside.

Buy a reactor from RAS Process Equipment! You can minimize pressure and increase fluid velocity! They've got dimple jackets, vessel wetted parts, Flush bottom ball valves, and Quick opening manways! Tube troubles? You need look no further than Ohmstede (bonus home page graphic: gaze in wonderment upon the masterpiece that is the Entry Door to the Corporate Office). They offer exceptional on-site retubing as well as explosive tube plugging and nozzle modification! [And a stunning corporate philosophy: "Ohmstede's employee workforce has been trained in the corporation's quality system empowering each employee with the necessary tools to improve all work processes."] API's main thrust is Heat Transfer Moisture Separators; they separate entrained moisture and drain it to the bottom reservoir. They include a blowdown plug. The gallery at Hughes-Anderson will prod the Freudians in the crowd. Please note that this firm uses the Olympus Borescope with Camera and Monitor, and inspects for Liquid Penetrant, Hardness, Wet and Dry, and Surface Roughness. Rowr. ITT Standard probes Coupling, the ol' In and Out, Stuffing Box Flange, and of course Packed End. I'm off for a cold shower.

  • I open my manway in praise of this gloriously smutty post.
  • That was quick.
  • I pride myself on my speed. Mrs kitfisto, on the other hand...
  • P'raps some on-site retubing is in order.
  • Oh God, it's the planetary ball mill all over again...
  • You love it Pleggy...
  • You had me at "stuffing box flange." God, now I really wanna fuck R2-D2.
  • Beeeepwheeeeeeebeeeeeepboop!
  • Yeah, I'd give him an 'oil bath' to remember...
  • What, no grease nipples?
  • "The TEMA Advantage {inline image} " Indeed.

  • (If I may make so bold.)
  • Hubba Hubba! I must engage my manual release mechanism.
  • And to think I felt dirty for oogling at those MythBusters gals...
  • So, fish tick, what google search led you to the TEMA page? "flush bottom?" "quick opening manways?" or was it "tube plugging?" come on, fess up, what were you looking for? and don't confuse quick opening manways with quick opening mayonnaise
  • yeah, one has a slight vinegar aftertaste and the other...er...um...
  • There you go, making fun of FEMA again... TEMA? Nevermind.
  • You people are so pathetic. I had a girlfriend when I was twenty that used to wear a valve on a chain around her neck. It was her petcock. Stupid men were so impressed. She out-grew it.
  • Twas TEMA, and the blowdown plugs     were threaded to a slip-on flange: Olympus was the borescope,     And the petcocks outgrabe. "Beware the vessel wetted parts!     The pack-ed end, the stuffing box! Beware the bottom reservoir, and shun     The brass flush bottom valves!" He took explosive tube in hand:     Long time the lap joint flange he sought -- So rested he by the nipple tree,     And dimple jacketed he thought. Guess this makes me a stupid man. Hee!
  • Well, fish, at least you didn't say *deep voice "How'd ja like to pet MY cock, honey."
  • oh yea, I forgot the "hur hur hur hur" laugh at the end
  • Well, it *is* a bit like wearing a "kick me" sign, at least around A Certain Element, isn't it?
  • *applauds the vessel wetted parts!*
