Handheld meter
YSI announced the addition of the Pro1030 to its line of Professional Series instruments that provides measurement of pH or ORP, temperature, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS) - all within a handheld instrument. YSI engineers have incorporated customer-friendly features into the Pro1030, such as user-replaceable sensors, cables and a convenient calibration. In addition, its ruggedness is backed by military- spec connectors, a IP67 waterproof and rubber over-molded case, and 1-meter drop tests. A super-stable, 4-electrode conductivity cell is built into the cable, and the cells are easy to clean, requiring minimal maintenance.

Fabric buildings
Legacy Building Solutions offers fabric buildings that incorporate structural steel beams instead of open-web trusses. This engineering concept provides a high level of flexibility for a variety of building applications, including wastewater treatment plants. Legacy buildings utilize a durable rigid frame in place of the hollow-tube, open-web truss framing traditionally used for fabric buildings. Unlike hollow tube steel, Legacy's solid structural steel beams are not vulnerable to unseen corrosion originating inside a tube. Additionally, the structural steel has multiple coating options, including hot dip galvanizing, red oxide primer and powder coat paint.

Ball valves
Val-Matic's newly-acquired QuadroSphere® Ball Valve line is applied where typical trunnion ball valves experience problems. The unique contoured ball features four recessed surfaces that create additional flow paths, allowing the flow and particulates to move freely above, below and around the sides of the ball when moving from closed to open position. Seat ring contact to the ball has minimal contact area, which reduces wear and operating torques. With a fraction of the resistance across the seating surfaces when cycling, wear is reduced up to 70%, improving the performance life of the ball and seats. The QuadroSphere® is available in sizes 2 to 24 NPS and in ASME pressure classes 150 to 2500 with a variety of body, seat and seal materials to meet specific application requirements.

Socket wrenches
Lowell Corporation offers the 50, 50QR and 150 Series of ratcheting socket wrenches that are designed for tough construction and pipeline jobs. Those who need a heavy-duty wrench but don't want to buy an entire socket set can now buy individual wrenches with just the socket sizes they need: square or hex, inch or metric. Applications include heavy equipment adjustment, water towers, and pipeline installation and repair. The Series 50 wrenches are cast iron, while the Series 150 wrenches are stamped steel. The ratchet mechanism in the Series 50 is also fully enclosed, while the less-expensive 150's mechanism is partially enclosed. The heads also differ in that the Series 50 disassemble for cleaning, while the 150 heads do not.

Welding system
CLIMAX Portable Machining and Welding Systems announced the release of the AC5000 AutoClad to its line of on-site cladding machines. Designed to automate the internal cladding of small-diameter nozzles and pipes, the new system makes it easy for manufacturers of processing equipment - such as pressure vessels, valves and flow-control devices - to achieve the proper weld in the right place, even during the most difficult welding jobs. A water-cooled torch keeps temperatures under control, allowing the AC5000 to complete long weld times, ultimately maximizing productivity and increasing the life of consumables. With infinitely-adjustable step and rotation speed, the AutoClad produces high-quality welds with difficult-to-weld materials such as nickel alloys (Inconel™, Monel™ and Hastelloy™) and stainless steels.
