Portable Laser Can Detect Gas from a Safe Distance
The Gas Laser uses advanced laser technology to detect natural gas. It supports remote detection, allowing for a detection distance of 30 m (100 ft) to help operators work at a safe distance. The laser can operate through glass and provide an audible and visual indication when there is methane. It operates for up to eight hours and has a graphical interface for easy interpretation.

Reusable Container Is Suitable for Hazardous Material Shipping
Capsuloc is a hazardous materials (hazmat) shipping container for transporting flammable liquids. Made of hard plastic with a twist-on lid, the container allows for a compliant seal without needing lock rings or any tools to open the cap. The container weighs 32% less than paint can kits and is also half their size, saving space and reducing shipping costs. The containers are reusable and recyclable. The kit is compliant with United Nations (UN) regulations and can be compliantly shipped with an outer UN fiberboard box.

Miniature Sensor Monitors Pressure and Temperature
The flowplus-SPT M6 is a miniature flush pressure sensor with a perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) pressure membrane. It is made of stainless steel and is 15.3 mm long. The sensor measures pressure and temperature through an M6 process connection. It can measure up to 40 bar in pressure and between 5°C and 50°C for temperature with a 2% tolerance. The sensor electronics can also convert the recorded measurements to an analog signal for input into various control systems, such as a PLC.

Valves Improve Safety for Hydrogen Applications
The TESCOM AGI H2 valves are suitable for hydrogen fueling stations and other hydrogen applications up to 15,000 psi. They feature a double-block arrangement that provides two layers of positive shutoff, protecting staff from high pressure during maintenance. To minimize risks, each valve has a QR code, allowing quick access to valve specifications. The valves comply with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 19880-3 hydrogen fueling standard.

Vertical Blender Design Saves Floor Space
This vertical blender offers versatile low-shear blending and drying. The vertical, conical design allows for processing of large volumes in limited floor space. It agitates the batch product using a low-speed auger that orbits and lifts material upward. Product then cascades back down due to the steep angle. It allows for efficient blending of batches that are as little as 10% of the maximum capacity. The blender can be jacketed for heating or cooling with water, oil, or steam. In addition, customers can use the blender with a vacuum to fast dry materials for wet applications.
