As Seen On TV products always seem to promise a bit more than they can deliver so when I see a new product arrive on the scene, I always wonder if it will really solve my problems. I really needed something that would fix a leaky windshield fluid hose in my car and plug and air mattress leak, but of course I was skeptical.

The advertising for the product Mighty Fixit made it look so great but here is my real experience.

Besides being entertained by the infomercial I had high hopes but very low expectations for the product itself. I'm glad to report that this gadget happens to be great and the product seems to do it all. Well, at least all the stuff if showed on TV. Think of Mighty Fixit is everything that we wish duct tape could be. It's supposed to fix, seal and repair just about anything.

When I say anything, I'm really referring to cracks in hoses, leaks in pipes, torn power cords, etc. Now this product is not tape. It's not even sticky and there is no adhesive. It's some kind of stretchy silicone material that will adhere to itself.

This means that as long as you can wrap it around something a few times and back over itself, you can create a seal. So if you have a crack in your radiator hose, you will wrap the product around the hose a few times which will allow it to trace the shape of the hose, create and air tight and water tight seal, and ultimately fix your problem.

So basically you would use this stuff like tape but it is much more permanent and really works well. But, here's the catch, and it took me a while to discover it.

I still think this is the coolest As Seen On TV gadget in a long time. It's simple and solves problems and comes with an over the top sales pitch. It's perfect for Television But it didn't work on the one thing I really needed it for.

Fixing my Windshield Fluid hose was a breeze but I have a very expensive air mattress and it had a leak in the seam. It was a small slow leak but needing mending non the less. I thought my new miracle tape would be perfect because I had temporarily fixed it with some glue and masking tape. When I cleaned the wound and prepared to seal it with my new stuff, I realized that the trick to it working was that fact it would wrap around and stick to itself.

Well, my mattress is huge and since there is no adhesive it could not wrap around and infuse with itself. My solution needed to be some type of flat seal and I couldn't stop my leak with this miracle of modern science.

So while Mighty Fix It really works for most things you need to keep in mind that have to wrap it around itself a few times. This is why you'll notice tubes, hoses and small branches in the ad and it works brilliantly for those type of things.

The Best of Industrial Valves & Pressure Gauges 101

Valves are an integral part of the day-to-day functions- plumbing valves used in taps for hot and cold water, gas control valves on cookers and barbecues, small valves fitted to washing machines and dishwashers, and safety devices fitted to hot water systems.

Valve is a device that regulates the flow of gases, fluidized solids, slurries or liquids by opening, closing or partially obstructing various passageways. Industrial Valves are used in a variety of commercial, residential, military applications, and also in transportation. Oil and gas, power generation, mining, water reticulation, sewerage and chemical manufacturing constitute the majority of valves used by industry. These may be operated manually, or automatically, driven by changes in pressure, temperature or flow. Based on the varying needs, valves may be of different types.

• A check valve allows fluid to flow through it in only one direction. Check valves are two-port valves, that is, they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave.
• Ball Valves are principally designed as on/off isolation valves for a wide range of temperatures and pressures; they have inherent quick opening flow characteristics. Specially designed ball valves however, may offer good flow control capabilities at high pressure.
• Butterfly valves are for quick turn on or shut off applications including agricultural and irrigation, water distribution and waste treatment. Industrial applications including chemical, paper and pulp, and a wide array of industrial mediums.
• Gate valve are commonly used in many garden, irrigation, and industrial flow control systems.

There are a wide range of industrial applications in which Pressure Gauges are utilized. Pressure Gauges are designed to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid. These instruments monitor and indicate the internal pressure and/or vacuum of vessels and systems, especially those having dynamic working characteristics that require regular monitoring.   These vary in style, size, pressure ranges, and wetted parts material, depending on the application. Specialty tanks, such as fire extinguishers and medical gas cylinders use pressure gauges. The important types include:

• Liquid Filled Pressure Gauges can be filled with various fluids, such as silicone oil, mineral oil and glycerin. The liquid filling provides protection to internal components of the gauge in severe environments in which the gauge may endure excessive vibration and pulsation. Gauges made of stainless steel can be used in corrosive environments or in applications that have strict sanitary requirements and are capable of withstanding high pressure cleaning.
• Industrial Pressure Gauges have heavy-duty sensing elements and case designs and higher accuracy requirements than general purpose utility gauges, and are built for extended life, designed for harsh, corrosive environments.
