Safely lift steel, fiber and plastic drums
The HCB hoist attachment (photo) is designed to handle all 55-gal drums, enabling safe lifting of steel, fiber and plastic drums weighing up to 2,000 lb. A padded belt cradle protects the drum sidewall during transport. The HCB is available…
Focus on Packaging and Transportation
Self-adhesive pipe labels improve workplace safety ANSI/ASME A13.1 recommends the marking of all pipes to clearly communicate their contents, to improve facility maintenance and safety. This company offers a variety of premade pipe marking labels (photo), which are ready to…
Smart actuation for control valves in extreme environments
SEVA electric valve actuators (photo) feature a microprocessor-controlled linear stepper motor to provide accuracy and repeatability. Built to withstand extreme conditions, two SEVA models are available, the SEVA-100 and SEVA-200, which provide torque for this company’s control valves in sizes…
NIR-based technique provides a simpler way to measure moisture
This company has developed an approach to moisture measurement that uses Near-Infrared (NIR) light, which can deliver immediate, laboratory-quality moisture readings. Traditional laboratory and online moisture-measurement techniques — while capable of providing comprehensive results — lack the simplicity and flexibility…
These optical flame detectors combine UV and IR sensing
The new FL500 optical flame detector (photo) is performance-approved for six different fuel sources: butane, ethane, heptane, methane, methanol and propane. By combining a precision ultraviolet (UV) sensor for quick response with an infrared (IR) sensor that monitors flame-emitted radiation,…
These flame arrestors decrease leakage and vibration risks
BelGAS FM flame arrestors (photo) stop ignited vapors from traveling backward into a vent line or tank, preventing explosions, burns and other hazards. The flame arrestor product line includes critical safety equipment, such as burner arrestors, inline arrestors, stack arrestors…
DP transmitters for hard-to-access locations
The Series 629C-RS wet/wet differential pressure (DP) transmitter with remote sensors (photo) is ideal for remotely monitoring differential pressure in chillers, heat exchangers and pumps. For hard-to-access applications, the RS option of the 629C differential pressure transmitters comes with remote-mountable…
New thermowells reduce vibration and fatigue
The Rosemount Twisted Square thermowell (photo) is said to reduce dynamic stress, simplify process calculations and provide more accurate temperature measurements than other thermowells on the market. Twisted Square thermowells improve reliability and reduce risk of fatigue failure through their…
New low-noise fans are oil-free to prevent contamination risks
The new Direct Drive high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan (photo) produces no noise and uses no oil. The lack of gears reduces noise, while the absence of oil means the Direct Drive HVLS fan eliminates any opportunity for contamination. The fan…
Realtime, easy-access diagnostics for PLCs
ICS Monitoring (photo) is a realtime diagnostics solution for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The ICS platform supports the troubleshooting of PLC-based control systems by helping to find the origin of a problem more quickly and reduce downtime. ICS Monitoring simplifies…
