Fyrewerks is a fabricator of fire door core panels used in the building industry. By sandwiching the core between a veneer or routed wood exterior, the company provides a thin core panel to door manufacturers that meets the requirements for fire protection without losing architectural details of style.

Routine checkups, a healthy diet, and regular exercise are the prescriptions for a healthy life. The same prescriptions hold true for healthy pumps. Your pumps' "diet and exercise" is a function of how you operate them. If the fluid specific gravity, temperature, pressure or power quality are not within specifications, then their "diet" is not optimum. If they are running off the pump curve, then they are "over-exercised." Just like you, they may experience an injury or failure if they are running misaligned or are overworked.
