  2. Struggling with Fraction Conversions?

    Struggling with Fraction Conversions?

      For some, converting fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions is easy. For others, it is more difficult or even a chore. Where you fall on that scale depends on a number of things. Your natural mathematics or memorization abilities, the number of fractions you need to convert, the amount of other things on your plate, and your stress levels all factor in to how challenging a fraction to decimal conversion could be. Most of us have many things on our mind, many concerns demanding our attention, and many things to get done in a single day. In a fast paced production environment, people simply do not have the time to sit down and work out equations. If you have a piece of equipment with ball bearings that are due to be replaced, you want to be able to place an order quickly so that you can turn your attention to the next pressing matter, and the next after that.

  7. PPC Balls and Hydraulic Fracking

    PPC Balls and Hydraulic Fracking

    Since its advent over six decades ago, fracking has been vital to the development of the oil and gas industry in the U.S. The use of hydraulic fracking affords industry professionals several benefits; the production of domestic oil and gas is greatly increased, and resources are recovered more efficiently—leading to lower overall costs for petrochemical companies. Hydraulic fracking utilizes high-pressure fluids (usually a mixture of chemicals, water, and sand) to create fissures in deep rock formations, facilitating the amplified oil flow rates. Over one million fracks have taken place in the U.S. since 2012, attesting to the popularity of the process. As the use of fracking increases, so will the demand for modern tools and techniques. To offer more versatility to our clients, Precision Plastic Ball Co. has a wide selection of products that are ideal for hydraulic fracking applications.
