New Equipment 


Magnet probe
The intrinsically safe Magnet-Ex12 probe tests solenoid valves, relays, transformers and flow meters in hazardous areas. This highly sensitive device does not require contact with a test object. It comes with a built-in test apparatus to gauge the batteries. It is FM-approved for Class I Division 1/2 A-D T6. (ECOM Instruments)

Vibration monitors
The 1900/15 and 1900/17 monitors and compatible proximity transducer system provide economical machinery protection where only one or a few points need to be measured on general purpose machinery. Both monitors allow users the ability to make radial vibration measurements using proximity probes. The 1900/15 monitor can accept inputs from either the 3300 XL 8 mm or the 3300 XL NSv proximity transducer system and provides two levels of alarm: alert and danger. The 1900/17 is identical to its counterpart in functionality. It is equipped with a 4 mA to 20 mA output. (Bently Nevada Corp.)

Data management service
LOG-LINE Plus is an expanded version of LOG-LINE, which offers instant, downloadable public well log data. With the updated version, clients are able to securely view and access their own proprietary data through a common map interface. They can also realize cost savings in the storage and maintenance of well log data, and increased productivity. Because all information is stored securely online, the new tool eliminates the need for in-house well log data storage and maintenance. It also reduces the time required to collect or re-build well log data information from past projects. (A2D Technologies)

Manifold valve
The HM53 is a three-valve instrument manifold used to perform the block, equalizing and vent requirements of a differential pressure transmitter application. It includes a single mounting flange that allows the transmitter to bolt directly to the manifold, which eliminates the piping excess tubing nipples. A mounting kit may also be specified to allow for installations to a pipe stand. It features a non-rotating-tip stem that provides tight, repeatable shutoff without the galling or cross-scoring that occurs on ball-type stems. (Hex Valve)

Engines
CHPgen 375 Series is the latest model in the line of combined heat and power units. This engine / generator system can produce 375 kW with 88% total efficiency, while providing thermal energy in the form of 205° water. This modular, self-contained, natural-gas fired engine / generator is available from 375 kW to 1,400 kW. The unit achieves energy-cost reduction with reliable, consistent, on-site electrical power.
