Gas detection instruments are critical to protecting the life, health and safety of workers in many industries.

Preventing dangerous exposure levels and monitoring over time is key, and using the very best instrumentation available is essential for keeping people safe and healthy, now and in the future. The sensor technology within these instruments is vital, and often the most important aspect to get right for enhanced protection. 

ION Science, as a leading global gas detection OEM for over 30 years, were chosen by Blackline Safety for their superior range of gas sensors when developing their comprehensive product range. 

Recent discussions within gas detection sectors have revealed a growing number of customers who are looking for solutions that are reliable, long lasting and offer high levels of personal protection.

ION Science’s latest development, the Cub 11.7 eV personal solution, provides superior protection against harmful VOCs while delivering on key areas such as lifespan, reliability and compliance. 

The conversation around health versus safety is continuing, specifically looking at where gas detection and compliance sits within this huge and vital area and what role it can play. Developing instruments that can protect individuals and ensure effective protection against VOC (volatile organic compounds) exposure is of vital importance, particularly in the 11.7 range. 

As engineering managers face relentless pressure to deliver improved productivity, often with fewer skilled hands and tighter budgets, the benefits of professional tool storage and management become stronger than ever.

Snap-on Industrial’s Level 5™ automated total asset management system brings order to any workplace, enabling engineers and technicians to know exactly where to find every tool when they need it, saving time and easing stress.

Wolf Safety have introduced a powerful new range of ATEX certified LED installed lighting, designed for safe, permanent fixed use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The world’s leading manufacturer of portable and temporary ATEX and IECEx certified hazardous area safety lighting, Wolf have been keeping people safe for almost 120 years. They have been experts in high power LED technology for safe use in hazardous areas for over 15 years.

The company’s technical team has now brought its vast knowledge and expertise to bear on a new range of highly effective LED installed lighting, which is safe to use in  Zones 1 and 21 hazardous areas.

Protection during the loading and unloading operations of liquids and dry inert material. 

The GRDE-4200 electronic earthing system help to prevent fire and explosions in areas with hazardous levels of static electricity when trucks or trains load and unload liquids and dry materials. 

Filling, dispensing, transporting and tipping materials into vehicles or containers generates static electricity simply through the movement of the material being processed or handled.

 The charge level is greater for poorly conductive solvents flowing through plastic pipes. Furthermore, a fast flow or large amounts of air bubbles flowing through the pipe can amplify the static electricity.

REMBE Inc., the American Branch of REMBE GmbH Safety + Control, headquartered in Brilon, Germany has just moved into its new premises in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

The brand name REMBE is worldwide renowned for superior quality and performance in industrial safety solutions such as Turn-Key Dust and Gas Explosion Protection Systems and Pressure Relief Devices like rupture discs or breather valves. 

REMBE has successfully protected numerous sites across the U.S. and Canada ranging from wood manufacturing factories to critical processes in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industry.

AGL Automation Ltd are delighted to announce the Meteor MCE-MRC-EX Hazardous Area Remote Camera. 

The MRC-EX is designed for real time monitoring of hazardous area locations. Applications include monitoring the status of plant and equipment in offshore locations and visual confirmation of alarms such as water level in pumping stations. The cameras are easy to install and are controlled and configured via the MeteorCloud viewing and analysis system. The MRC-EX has also been approved for use on the Tampnet Offshore 4G Network. 

Smart-Ex® 02 users can now independently update the intrinsically safe smartphone by the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments to Android 11, quickly and easily. Thus they benefit from the numerous advantages and brand-new functions of the cutting-edge operating system.

These include improved voice control (voice access), better management of access rights to camera, microphone and location for apps, as well as the ability to call up all connected end devices easily and manage them from a common location. From now on, security and data protection updates are carried out via the Google Play Store, comparable to app updates. This grants users maximum flexibility in controlling the updates.

Red lasers are near the edge of the visible light spectrum at 700 nanometers, and green lasers are in the center of the visible light spectrum at 550 nanometers, making them much easier for human eyes to detect.

Green lasers are up to 4 times brighter than red lasers and are visible in daylight as far as 650' (198 m) away with the naked eye and up to 1,000' (305 m) with a detector. They also produce a clean, sharp line with less scatter over long distances than red lasers.
