FRP pipe applications
U.S. Composite Pipe South has published two new fliers showcasing the multiple applications of Flowtite® 100% non-corrosive FRP pipe. One covers the advantages of using the pipe in sliplining as well as in direct bury installations in adverse environments. The other flier details both pressure and penstock applications. Flowtite pipe has proven to be efficient in these types of applications due to its abrasion resistance, hydraulic characteristics, smooth bore and its availability in standard and custom lengths.

The new site, www.KIDirect.com, allows customers to purchase select standard flow meters 24 hours a day and have the product shipped out the next business day. The site is organized so buyers can easily find the flow meter they're looking for. Buyers can search by product series if they know the model, or they can search by fluid type, pipe connection size, scale length or full-scale flow rate. The website is also optimized for mobile e-commerce using the iPhone and other smartphones.

Electromagnetic flowmeters
A 74-page reference guide from ABB serves as a primer for selecting and applying electromagnetic flowmeters. "Magmeter Basics--A Technical Reference Guide" first introduces magmeters, summarizing such topics as principles of operation, construction, magnetic fields, maintenance, transmitters, installation, and calibration. Eight additional sections elaborate on these topics. The second section, for example, discusses and tabulates liquid conductivities. Additional sections cover such topics as pressure loss considerations, piping configurations, and electrode coating solutions. One section covers the pros and cons of AC versus DC magnetic field excitation in question and answer format.
