Sound Meter Reduces Noise Test Times
The CEL-620B wide-range (20–140 dB) integrating sound meter features real-time octave band frequency analysis from 16 Hz to 16 kHz, along with a full-color liquid crystal display that presents overall noise levels in numerical and graphical formats. It is designed to digitally measure sound levels in factories, refineries, construction sites and other industrial workplaces where noise can be a problem. It displays the previous minute’s readings, allowing the user to view trends and pinpoint significant events when levels rise above background levels. The instrument helps plant managers comply with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

Safety Gloves Preserve Sensitivity
Made of a thin Viton-brand synthetic rubber over butyl material, ChemTek 38-214T gloves provide workers with 90 min of protection from phenol chloroform and many other dangerous chemicals. In addition, they have longer breakthrough times (more than 200 min) for other chemicals, including acetic acid, benzene, ammonium hydroxide, carbon tetrachloride, dimethylacetamide, methylene chloride and sulfuric acid. They improve on previous safety gloves, which did not provide sufficient dexterity and tactile sensitivity to allow wearers to perform lab work efficiently.

Safety Eyewear Protects in Style
The design of A900 Series safety eyewear and A900 reader magnifiers takes inspiration from the latest trends in sunglasses, providing lightweight frames and a comfortable fit at an affordable price. These eyewear lines meet two different needs — one is appropriate for everyday tasks, and the other provides increased magnification for such tasks as reading, close-up inspections, and fine-detail work. A900 Series eyewear offers side coverage, with wraparound, distortion-free polycarbonate lenses in clear, gray or silver-mirror tints. It features padded temple tips, a nose bridge made from nonslip material, and either the manufacturer’s Fog-ban anti-fog coating or a scratch-resistant hardcoat. A900 Series reader magnifiers offer 180-deg. field of vision, as well as high-impact, hardcoat and UV protection. Lenses may be clear or tinted gray, and can provide +1.5, +2.0 or +2.5 magnification.

Ductless Fume Hood Blocks Fumes and Particles
The Purair 20 ductless fume hood protects operators from hazardous substances, because all mechanisms in the head section of the unit are on the clean side of the filter, preventing contamination. Switches and electrical components are isolated from dirty airflow and kept away from contamination, and the work area has a removable spillage tray that can easily be cleaned. Filters can be chosen from 14 types of carbon, including specialty media suitable for organic, solvent, acid, mercury and formaldehyde vapors. The standard hood measures 49 in. wide by 27.5 in. deep by 47.5 in. high; other sizes up to 96-in. wide are available.
