New process monitoring analyzer

Here’s the Minivap On-Line process monitoring analyzer for determination of vapor pressure of gasoline, crude oil, LPG, NPG, and vapor-liquid ratio .

The measuring principle works with Minivap VPS and LPG laboratory instrumentation.

New system reduces ground noise, extends motor life

A new, patented wire/cabling system helps reduce high frequency electrical ground noise to zero when used in conjunction with variable frequency drives or with products containing IGBT switching power supplies.

The firm says its system provides an effective ground that:

• Reduces high frequency ground currents to zero.

• Reduces motor bearing currents.

• Extends motor life.

• Increases system mean time between failures.

• Directs fault currents away from hazardous locations.

Cables and conduits are UL Listed components and use standard industry fittings, and they also are approved for Class I, Division II hazardous applications.

Firm adds welding purging equipment to portfolio

A new range of welding purging equipment has been added to this firm’s product lineup.

The equipment, from Germany-based JA, is designed to reduce the amount of gas and man-hours used during welding applications. One of the JA products is the silicon dam purging system that is used to localize the purging volume inside tubing and pipeline. These systems are designed not just to reduce the amount of gas being used, but also the time taken to purge welded joints. JA silicon dam systems are made up of modular components. This allows custom purging systems to be easily configured and also means each part can be replaced individually should it be damaged.
