DEICON supplies viscous dampers in dashpot, shock-absorber, viscoelastic, and eddy-current magnetic forms.
DEICON supplies viscous dampers as turbulent-flow shock absorber types and laminar-flow dashpots, and describes viscoelastic and eddy-current magnetic devices in the same family. Damping force scales with relative velocity, so digressive units with an exponent below one deliver comparable energy dissipation at lower peak force, which suits earthquake mitigation.
The dampers serve standalone duties on piping systems, buildings, and bridges, combine with springs for shock isolation, and act as the dissipating element inside DEICON's tuned mass dampers. Silicone damping fluid carries a viscosity-temperature coefficient near 0.6, well below mineral and petroleum oils.
