Manhole inspection

Clamping in seconds to the pole of a QuickView® zoom survey camera, the new ClipStream™ from Envirosight displays and records real-time video during pipe and manhole inspections. The monitor's wide viewing angle and tilt-mount make it easy to see footage, even when the device is deeply extended or used overhead. Alternately, the monitor undocks for wireless viewing at distances up to 32'. The video unit captures up to 16 GB (approximately 12 hours) of AVI video and JPEG still images to a micro SD card. Recorded footage can be viewed directly on the system's 3.6" color LCD, or transferred to a computer or smart phone by ejecting the card or tethering via USB.

Double-diaphragm pumps

Wilden®, a maker of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump technology, has developed its Advanced™ Series Metal AODD pumps with the characteristics necessary to effectively handle mining operations. Advanced pumps are able to excel in mining operations where large solids and abrasives often must be handled because of the unique set of features that they have, including: improved flow rates; product containment; bolted liquid paths; self-priming and dry-run capabilities; anti-freezing technology; variable flow and pressure rates; lube-free operation; and ease of operation and maintenance. Wilden Pump, Grand Terrace, CA, www.wildenpump.com

Butterfly valves

Assured Automation has announced its new line of High Performance Butterfly Valves. The HP Series offers Class VI shut-off and an advanced seat design which provides a bi-directional interference and pressure assisted seal. These valves are available in sizes 2" through 12" with a pressure rating up to 285 PSI for 150 class and 740 psi for 300 class valves. Body is available in carbon or stainless steel with Wafer or Lugged flanged end connections. The HP Series disc is engineered for a quick release from the seat, which reduces torque and seat wear. Machined position stops on the body locate the disc in the seat to achieve maximum seat and seal life. Assured Automation, Clark, NJ, 800-899-0553, www.assuredautomation.com

Power supply

Halogen Valve offers an Instrument Power Supply with battery power that provides uninterrupted 24 VDC for standard monitoring equipment like the Jupiter and Satellite gas detection systems. A three stage battery charger, powered by 115/230 VAC at 50 to 60 hertz maintains the 12 VDC battery at peak performance levels. The power system is designed to maintain a full charge that will provide 24 VDC output during a loss of AC power for up to three days. Membrane panel status lights provide diagnostic information for various system configurations. Halogen Valve Systems, Irvine, CA, 877-476-4222, www.halogenvalve.com

Bimetal thermometers

Ashcroft® bimetal thermometers eliminate the use mercury to measure temperature. Available in dial diameters from 2" to 5" and in ranges from -80 to 1000°F (and Celsius equivalents), these instruments are available in standard stem lengths from 2½" through 24" and special order stems up to 60". Ashcroft Maxivision® thermometers provide a fixed rear or bottom stem while the Everyangle™ design allows the stem angle to be adjusted. Hermetically sealed for easy wash-down or liquid filled to counter high vibration, the stainless steel bimetal thermometers are ideal for virtually every difficult installation. Ashcroft, 800-328-8258, www.ashcroft.com

Pressure sensors

American Sensor Technologies now offers the AST5400 wet / wet differential pressure sensor (also termed differential pressure transducer or transmitter) to measure line pressures up to 2,000 PSI with a turndown ratio of 15 to 1. Using Krystal Bond™ Technology, the sensor contains no silicone oil, O-rings, or welds. This MEMS pressure sensor technology completely isolates the media to the pressure ports, thus eliminating contamination risk. The low strain level on the diaphragm results in accurate, repeatable measurements. American Sensor Technologies Inc., Mount Olive, NJ, www.astsensors.com/index.php.
