There are those who view solenoid valves as merely a commodity, and there are those who are interested in long-term reliability. The overall reliability of any system in a process plant cannot exceed the reliability of the final link in the control chain.

Unfortunately, however, low cost and high reliability may be divergent ambitions when it comes to valves. Engineers seeking operational longevity and high-quality performance should think beyond initial purchase price, as any other strategy is likely to cost far more in the long run. 

Driven by cost pressures,...

Socap’s pneumatic stopper is suitable for the temporary plugging of circular pipes, like sewer lines, aqueducts, drainage lines etc. to completely isolate one section of the pipe containing the liquid from the section where repair or maintenance will take place. This type of pneumatic stopper can also be used to carry out pressure test on the pipe.

Socap ‘s Pneumatic Stopper is also use of temporarily plugging metal pipes (pipelines, gas mains etc.) to be serviced in the presence of flammable gas and liquids at medium pressure. This type of pneumatic stopper...

The FLIR GF346 is an optical gas imaging camera designed to detect carbon monoxide and a number of other gases. It is unbeatable for detecting even the smallest leaks. The FLIR GF346 can scan large areas rapidly and pinpoint leaks in real time. It is ideal for monitoring plants where it is difficult to reach components with contact measurement tools such as gas sniffers. Literally thousands of components can be scanned per shift without the need to interrupt the process. Using a FLIR GF346 safeguards personnel from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, reduces repair downtime and provides...

Slips, trips and falls can result both in fatal and non-fatal workplace accidents and they are one of the most frequently occurring accident types. 36% of EU companies acknowledge an increased risk of slips, trips and falls in their workplace according to EU-OSHA. To decrease the risk, we propose a number of reliable and highly visible safety identification solutions.

Floor marking: easily identify safe walking routes, obstacles and hazardous areas in the workplace. Safety signs: a simple safety sign can prevent costly workplace accidents if it is clearly visible, draws attention...

The new pocket-sized electromagnetic Picomag from Endress+Hauser simultaneously measures the flow and the temperature of electrically conductive fluids. It is a cost-optimized solution for utility applications where the focus is on high repeatability (±0.2% o.f.s.) and thus reliable measured values – e.g. to correctly measure water flows (max. 750 l/min, 198 gal/min) or to minimize energy costs.

Due to its compact design, it can be installed into any pipe up to 50 millimeters (2") in diameter, even in confined spaces. In addition, it offers intuitive commissioning with Bluetooth...

Critical and practical instruction labels on electric and electronic devices are important for safety, compliance and ease of use. Brady Corporation offers a complete range of reliable labels that can be designed with the highest flexibility and printed with advanced technologies.

Great flexibility

More information can be placed on labels for devices thanks to extremely accurate printing that allows more special characters, symbols, signs, logos and letters from every alphabet to remain clearly legible in small fonts. This enables increased flexibility in...
