New cable lockout system for oil field valves

This new safety cable lockout system eliminates the requirement of chains and incorporates the features of the hasp right into the cable lock.

The firm says its product is suited for isolation of various types of oil field valves. The cable lock is lightweight, easy to use, adjustable, and Occupation Safety & Health Adminstration (1910.147) compliant. The system allows as many as six operators to have individual control without compromising company safety standards, the firm says.

Made from high impact UV resistant polypropylene plastic, the cable lock promises to withstand corrosion and extreme weather conditions.

The system consists of a base and cover screwed together and accommodates a flexible, looped 6 ft PVC coated multi-stranded galvanized cable.

New refinery flowmeter

The new Multi-Trak Model 670S flowmeter measures mass flow rates in large refinery ducts or stacks that have nonuniform velocity profiles, high turndown requirements, dirty gas streams, wide temperature ranges, and fast velocity and temperature changes.

The unit dynamically compensates for changes in the flow profile by using as many as four independent mass flow sensing points to measure the instantaneous average gas mass flow velocity. The 670S's user friendly microprocessor-based human machine interface (HMI) controls all functions of the system. The HMI is used to collect, visualize, and store flow data, as well as set up the individual sensor points, thus allowing the entire system to be easily configured in the field.
