Hammer Union pressure transducers from Automation Products Group are now ATEX (II 1G Ex ia IIB T4 Ga) and IECEx (EX ia IIB T4 Ga) certified to provide long life in harsh oil patch environments in applications such as mud logging, cementing, fracturing, acidizing, and measuring while drilling (MWD). It features shock and vibration resistance (100 g for 11 msec), while providing better than +/-0.25% combined linearity, hysteresis and repeatability (BFSL) on pressure ranges up to 20,000 psi. It is available with either 0 to 5 VDC or 4-20 mA output and features industry standard electrical connectors for simplified installation. Automation Products Group Inc.www.apgsensors.com
Oil in water monitoring
The new InfraCal 2 Field Portable IR Analyzer from Wilks can measure down to 0.1 ppm oil in water accurately, on-site and in less than 15 minutes. The analyzer provides added sensitivity and features for today's most challenging environmental applications. It is ideal for non-technical users, and they combine improved electronics, which have significantly increased signal-to-noise ratio for greater performance. A touch screen intuitive display allows for a multitude of new options and features, including multiple calibrations, internal data logging and data transfer capabilities, alarm functions to ensure results are acceptable, and security/password settings to avoid unauthorized changes.

Centrifugal blower
The Hoffman Revolution delivers up to 45% energy savings, provides increased reliability with little or no maintenance and is factory prewired and tested in an ergonomically designed sound enclosure for plug-and-play operation. Technology improvements allow the footprint of the Revolution to be significantly smaller than traditional blowers, which reduces installation costs and enables it to function in places traditional blowers cannot.

Emergency gas shut-off
This Terminator emergency shutoff system sequentially closes 150 lb. cylinder valves containing toxic gas in less than five seconds when activated from remote sensors and switches. Halogen's Gemini controller has a self-contained battery system that guarantees the operation of the motorized closing mechanism even during a power failure. This dual-torque, microprocessor-controlled system applies 40-foot pounds of torque for emergency closures of the cylinder valve. It is also designed to only close when electronically activated.
