Remove moisture and particles before entry to the system.Moisture and particle accumulation are major factors of oil contamination in industrial equipment. Neglected, these detriments restrict equipment efficiency, causing machine downtime and significant expense in replacement oil, parts and repair labour. Des-Case hygroscopic breathers incorporate a proven, field tested design.

They prevent water and contaminates from entering fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling or emptying process. Manufactured with a hygroscopic agent, they have the capability to extract water vapour from the air as it is drawn through the unit. Accompanying solid particles are then removed by a patented polyester fabric filter, allowing only clean, dry air to enter the system.

JBJ Techniques has spotted a gap in the market for an effective, simple to use, four-channel process monitor and alarm controller, combined with PC-based visualisation and data logging software. So the company has addressed this requirement by developing its own cost-effective package.

Why is it that, in so many different industries and market sectors, there are a myriad of all-singing-and-dancing high end products, swathes of simple, low end, single-function products, but very little in between. Take, for example, the monitoring of fluid systems in various processes. At one end of the scale, there are simple indicators to show pressure or flow – barely more than a dumb display with an alarm output or two.

Technological development and economic pressures can provide the means and the expectation for intelligent products to perform several tasks at once. Leuze electronic prides itself in providing intelligent products that are often rich in features, so that the equipment builder can complete the project quicker, easier and save money in the process.

The ROTOSCAN RS4-4M Safety Laser Scanner is a good example of this kind of function integration, with the additional benefits of “Motion Monitoring” and “Distance Measurement” being added to the innovative Safety Laser Scanner .All ROTOSCAN RS4 Safety Laser Scanners provide two dimensional scanning of user defined areas, providing warning, guarding, and measurement in a uniquely flexible, versatile, and efficient manner across numerous applications and diverse industries.

E-A-P International Limited have been stockists and specialist worldwide distributors of Eriks seals for over 38 years, and we now bring you our updated seventh edition of the very popular O-Ring Handbook.The O-Ring is now without question the worlds most versatile seal due to its simple shape,low space requirement, and its availability in a vast selection of sizes and compounds to meet every requirement.

This Handbook is intended as a guide to assist in the selection of an O-Ring for both dynamic and static applications, and for the choice of the correct compound for a given application.Recommendations are given for groove dimensions, installation procedures, sealing against vacuum and the use of Back-up Rings. Reference is also included on the use of Quad Rings as an alternative to an O-Ring in certain applications.

Dorchester based, Tritex NDT have developed a new range of triple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges for measuring metal thickness to check for corrosion on pipelines, storage tanks and other industrial applications where corrosion occurs. The new Tritex Multigauges have been designed for robustness, simplicity of use and most importantly, accuracy.

The range includes the Multigauge 5500, designed for hands free use when climbing on staging, scaffolding or when accessing large storage tanks by rope.The Multigauge 5600 has been developed for most common thickness gauging applications on pipelines. The easy to use keypad allows operator interface whilst the bright graphical LCD display gives detailed information such as echo strength, probe type and measurement units.

A new thermal imaging camera that takes the guesswork out of  temperature measurement, by fusing visual and thermal images on to the same screen, has been launched to meet the needs of electrical contractors, maintenance engineers, HVAC professionals, energy inspectors and auditors, and engineers in construction and the automotive industry.

The IRI 2010 is the first in a new range of British designed and manufactured thermal imaging cameras produced by Northampton-based thermal imaging specialists Irisys, who have spent 18 months developing the technology that will give tradesmen an invaluable tool for temperature, & hot / cold spot detection for around £2,000. 

The new BEKOMAT 33 was presented for the first time at this year’s Hannover trade fair in Germany. With this new condensate drain BEKO further extends the range started with the 31 and 32 drains two years ago. These drains have been very well received by our customers, leading to demand for a larger device- hence the new 33.

All three drains in the range have the same basic innovative concept in common: The BEKO service module. This module contains all wearing parts in a corrosion resistant housing which is fitted in seconds- making service a doddle! On the 33 we find, in addition, a condensate receiver tank to cater for larger condensate output, and a larger valve orifice.

When changing the service unit the condensate tank remains in place attached to the compressed air system, meaning no time consuming de-coupling of solid pipework.

Every service unit is pressure and function tested at the BEKO factory for peace of mind, and requires no electrical installation other than unplugging the electrical housing and plugging it back in again once the drain is serviced- just like plugging in an electrical item at home!

The new BEKOMAT 33 joins the other drains in the BEKO range, of which more than 1.5 million have so far been sold around the world. Please contact BEKO for more details
