The VeriCal in situ calibration verification system for gas and flare flow-meters enables technicians to confirm flow measurement accuracy in minutes — saving time and reducing operating costs. The system allows for the verification of flowmeter calibration without removing the meter from the pipe or process. It is suitable for flare gas applications in offshore oil and gas production and refining, as well as other applications where periodic validation of flowmeter calibration is required by the process or environmental regulations.

Two new hydraulic applications optimize system performance and reduce downtime by monitoring hose service life and identifying replacement hose specifications. Gates Sentry IQ Service is a predictive maintenance app that monitors the pressure and temperature of a hydraulic assembly to gauge remaining hose life. The app is designed for equipment and processes in applications where unexpected hose failures can cause expensive downtime, compromise safety, and require costly repair and clean-up. It is suited for both new equipment designs and aftermarket oil production applications.

The Martin Electric Screen Vibrator provides 7,700 lb of centrifugal force to sort or separate material. The explosionproof model has UL, cUL, and ATEX certification for use in hazardous locations around the world, and the high-strength cast aluminum cases are IP66-7 dust-tight and watertight. The dual-voltage units can be used in locations with different electrical power supply voltages. The vibrator features simple installation — bolt it in, wire it up, and turn it on — and low maintenance, requiring only periodic lubrication of the long-life cylinder roller bearings.

The Series 92 electric actuator’s rugged construction, proven design, and customizable options make the device suitable for a variety of oil and gas applications, such as pipeline transmission and wellhead control. It features a die-cast aluminum alloy, thermally bonded powdercoat, Type 4X, 7 and 9 enclosure that is bolted together in two sections by eight M8 hex-head cap screws with fitted O-rings. The actuator has a permanently lubricated gear train and hardened-steel spur gears. Two end-of-travel limit switches are set mechanically via adjustable cams to open and closed positions.

The L-Dens 427 T Ex online density meter is accurate, compact, easy to install, and cost-efficient. The L-Dens 427 family of density sensors has an accuracy of 1×10–4 g/cm³. This model, which accurately measures density and temperature and automatically calculates temperature-corrected density, API gravity, and a variety of concentrations based on density, is an explosionproof version suitable for aggressive environments. The Modbus, HART, and 4–20-mA outputs simplify connection to any flow computer or programmable logic controller (PLC).

The OXS Series inline/online gas monitor is based on the manufacturer’s tunable filter spectroscopy (TFS) technology. The OXS-3100 is designed for measurements in the ppm to percent range, whereas the OXS-4100 is used for sub-ppm ranges. Both systems provide real-time, optical scanning of multiple compounds in gas flows and processes. Their networking capability and factory calibration allow for easy installation and remote operation in industrial environments.

West Virginia lies in the very heart of the Appalachian Highlands. Its relaxed lifestyle, beautiful landscape and abundant resources make it the ideal place to live and do business. The state offers countless choices for work, home and play, giving West Virginians the opportunity to create lifestyles uniquely their own. You will find cost advantages to long-term investment in West Virginia due to the state’s strategic location, expert work force, vast supply of natural resources, ready infrastructure and advanced technology.

The OPTIMASS single-tube coriolis mass flowmeters are ideal for precise blending, dosing and batching applications. The flowmeters are ideal for a variety of applications in the chemical industry, including: batching to reactors, production balance of raw material feed, quality control, production control using concentration measurement, bulk loading from storage to rail road tankers, and tank farm management based on mass flow. Available in a variety of sizes, the OPTIMASS flowmeters are suitable for flow rates from 0.55 lb/min up to 15, 800 lb/min.

Newly improved with greater flexibility, APFRC hose provides the chemical resistance properties of FEP fluoropolymer with the durability of a multi-ply rubber cover. The new version is lighter weight than previous styles for easier handling. The FEP core offers a smooth, non-stick surface for unrestricted flow and a wide temperature range for both cold and hot materials. Standard sanitary fittings may be attached for ready-to-install hose assemblies for a variety of applications, including chemical transfer, food and beverage lines, pharmaceutical processing, biomedical use, and others.

The PCC Fluid Transfer Containers are used for transfers of crude oil, saltwater, petroleum products, chemicals, acids, foods, beverages and pharmaceutical fluids. They help eliminate spills by mounting directly onto the tank line or truck. Connections with hoses are now enclosed inside the container. When the transfer is complete, the firm’s patented sidewinder assembly valve is opened. Spills inside the container are drawn up and air is also drawn in to bleed the line. Upon disconnect there is little spilled inside the container (which is drawn up at the next transfer).
