The design of the SR-800 valve eliminates the interior spaces where liquids and foreign matter can accumulate. The valve has a unique piston design using O-rings behind a Teflon wall to significantly improve sealing and self-cleaning. The piston completely fills the valve interior, making it impossible for matter to collect. It does this by closing flush to the valve end, eliminating any recesses or cavities. The fabricated SR-800 valve body is constructed of BPE and 3A-compliant, low-sulfur- content 316 stainless steel to eliminate rouging.

Designed for water, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and chemical applications, these flare-style fittings are available in perfluoroalkoxyalkane (PFA), as well as natural polypropylene (PPN) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The fittings provide a straight-through clean design with zero dead-volume hold-up. The PFA and PVDF fittings are best suited for ultrapure water and chemical applications, while the PPN fittings are ideal for slurry applications. All fittings meet industry standards for size and thread.

The Prochem PB and MD side-entering agitators provide highquality performance in a variety of demanding applications, such as pulp-and-paper processing, flue gas desulfurization, and petroleum blending and storage. The agitator shafts are designed to handle up to 10 times the normal operating bending load at full torque. The Ultra VX drive belts and sheaves provide economical power transmission with effective shock-absorbing capability.

Every day at 12:00 a.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and at other intervals thereafter, the U.S. National Weather Service releases the Global Forecast System’s (GFS) 00Z track forecast for existing named tropical systems in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Basin. Using this information, Tropical MarketFirst can predict 12Z (12:00 p.m. GMT) hurricane tracks and release the data up to two hours before they would normally be released to the public. The system also allows users to compare the 12Z forecast with observed data coming in from the 00Z and 06Z tracks.

The Mobile EDU ductless fume hood can be moved from one location to another for industrial training and classroom demonstrations. The self-contained unit is mounted on heavy-duty wheels for easy transport. At 77.5 in. high, it can pass through a standard doorway. Independent tests demonstrated that the multilayered EDU filter provides 99.9% filtration efficiency for the chemicals found in a typical chemistry curriculum. The unit exceeds OSHA, ANSI, BSI, and AFNOR safety standards.

Lunar Foam Nitrile palm dip gloves are well-suited for wet, oily, and dry applications, such as manufacturing, materials handling, maintenance, recycling, small-parts assembly, and more. The gloves have a white or salt-and-pepper nylon shell placed over the palm and fingertips, giving them extra grip on wet or oily materials, and better surface adhesion on dry applications. They are available in sizes from XS to XXL to ensure proper fit and optimal dexterity and have a knit wrist for wearer comfort. Their antibacterial surfactants prevent odors from forming.

The Hot Hand Protector no-slip grip mitt is used for handling objects such as beakers, flasks, and bottles at extreme hot or cold temperatures. It is made from silicone rubber and is available in bright red, lime green and sky blue, making it easy to spot in the lab. The mitt measures 10 cm by 19 cm, with a “quick-fit” pocket at each end, one for the thumb and one for the fingers. Concaved tipped studs on the surface provide a secure grip.

The STA Safety Trip Alarm performs as a logic solver and reacts to potentially hazardous process conditions. It can warn of unwanted process conditions, activate emergency shutdown, and provide on/off control in safety instrumented systems (SIS) and traditional alarm-trip applications. The 4-wire STA accepts an input signal from transmitters (current and voltage inputs), temperature sensors (resistance temperature detector and thermocouple inputs), resistance devices and potentiometers, and a wide range of other monitoring and control equipment. It has three failsafe alarm outputs.

The Serpent ventilated safety helmet uses a six-vent airflow system to let heat escape and help workers remain comfortable. The helmet weighs just 13.1 oz and has a sleek, snake-head shell design. A six-point nylon suspension system provides impact absorption, and a soft, cushioned brow pad helps absorb moisture and perspiration. The helmet is available with pin-lock or ratchet suspension, which adjusts to fit 6-5/8 to 8-1/4 head sizes. A rain trough diverts water away from the worker’s face.

The TT-Flasher alarm is designed to assist operators in conducting regular onsite facility inspections for which a visual alert is sufficient to quickly attract attention. It can be linked to the manufacturer’s TraceTek leak-detection cable and fast-acting fuel sensor probes to provide first-level alarm compliance. It can also serve as a temporary alerting solution when enhanced systems for leak detection, location, monitoring and alarms are being specified for permanent installation. Alarm installation is quick and inexpensive.
