Thursday, June 1, 2023

In our inaugural episode, co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook sit down with Lisa Desai, director of technology sales at Pfaudler, to discuss glass-lined equipment. The three have an engaging conversation wrapped around the firing process, the art of spraying glass, benefits and value of using glass as a construction material, and discussions about gaskets, flanges and clamps.

Note:  The glass lining thickness measurement is indicated as "mils" in the podcast.  A mil is equivalent to a thousandth of an inch, not a mm.  For example glass thickness range of 40-90 mils is ~1-2.3 mm.
