Total RC, the refining and chemicals arm of French oil giant Total SA, is standardising on manifolds produced by the Instrumentation Products Division of Parker Hannifin.. The decision follows several years’ extensive temperature, pressure and corrosion testing of products from different manufacturers – Parker is the first company to have secured a 100 percent pass rate.

Under the terms of the contract, Parker will supply all the instrumentation manifolds that Total RC needs for new installations and upgrades across its entire European base of refining and petrochemical operations. Most of the company’s requirements will be for manifolds designed to connect process transmitters to ANSI Class 1500 or 600 piping, together with some for use with pressure gauges and lower rated instrumentation tubing.
