Vent filter

Pressure Systems Inc. has introduced a new vent filter that provides virtually maintenance-free moisture protection for all vented gauge format submersible KPSI transducers. Designed specifically for high humidity environments where water vapor may condense in the vent tube, the Series 810 SuperDry vent filter protects sensitive transducer electronic components from mildew, corrosion, rust and other forms of deterioration, while at the same time preventing the formation of a liquid column. The vent filter provides 10 times the moisture protection as compared to other barriers. It will be the standard moisture protection accessory shipped from the factory with any vented gauge submersible KPSI transducer.

Leak noise correlator

The new LC-2500 Leak Noise Correlator from SubSurface Leak Detection is an improvement on its predecessor, the LC-2100. The new unit correlates four times faster, and the radio transmitters are four times more powerful, transmitting up to 3500 feet to the main processor unit and traveling over hills and around tall buildings. The main processor unit, which weighs less than 7 lbs., has a temperature-compensated LCD display to improve visibility in very cold and very hot temperatures. The correlator has an aluminum body and is weather-tight, operating in rain, snow, and temperatures from minus 10 C to positive 50 C.

Sludge sampler

Coretaker™ is the first sludge sampler to float. The soft bright yellow lanyard makes it easy to find if accidentally dropped in the tank. A hard plastic handle makes it easy to grip. The exclusive Slip-Lock coupler has internal O-Rings for quick disconnect/connect functionality. Once connected, the bottom tube fastens to the coupler with a single knurled thumbscrew. There are no leaks, even under extreme stress, and no threaded fittings or glue is required. The Check Valve at the bottom of the unit has the same O-Ring technology and a rugged purge stem.
