Respirator offers custom fit, user comfort

PeakFit, a US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-approved N95 air-purifying respirator, is specifically engineered for personal comfort as well as safety.

Its contoured design and ample size help make breathing easier, reducing worker fatigue and promoting compliance, the company says. The molded nose bridge fits most faces, with no need to pinch a metal nosepiece to achieve a “peak fit.” An internal nose cushion is made with soft, closed-cell foam and helps ensure a safe, snug fit. The integrated, one-piece cloth head strap with buckle is fully adjustable to fit any head size.

Respirators provide protection against a variety of contaminants and are available in three versions: PeakFit (filtration against aerosols free of oils below permissible exposure limit), PeakFit OV (additional filtration against aerosols free of organic vapors below PEL), and PeakFit AG (additional filtration against aerosols free of organic vapors and acid gases below PEL).

Monitoring system supports frac, well test services

A new real-time monitoring service—Intellisite RTViewer—supports this company’s frac and well test services.

Frac monitoring service. One user is using the service to deliver second-by-second frac and well test data directly to customers anywhere in the world using the internet. The service provides as many as 40 channels of real-time frac data that can be accessed anywhere via web browser. The graphical interface allows each user to customize the frac data and select the preferred view: real-time graphs, digital readouts, or a raw data display.

Well testing monitoring service. Another user is using the system to receive near real-time data used to measure pressure, temperature, gas, and liquid flow in a potentially explosive environment. The system is designed to provide a small footprint and stand alone power requirements. The service allows the user to select the preferred interval range in readings: 1 sec to 60 sec intervals.
