Monitor hydrogen sulfide in
high-temperature environments
The 5100-15-IT Intelligent SolidState
Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detector
(photo) utilizes metal-oxide
semiconductor (MOS) sensor technology
to accurately monitor
hydrogen sulfide in environments
where temperatures
are extremely high. This network-enabled
gas detector has
a variety of output formats, and
features a user-friendly fixed or
scrolling eight-character LED display,
intuitive menus and simple
calibration procedures. For use in
hazardous areas, cast-aluminum or
316 stainless-steel enclosures are
available. - Sierra Monitor Corp.,
Milpitas, Calif.

An exhaust hose for very hightemperature
operations
The Flex-Lok 570 high-temperature
exhaust hose (photo) is a coated fabric
hose designed for exhaust venting
and welding fume extraction.
The mechanically crimped hose is
constructed from a para-aramid
fabric locked around a coated steel
wire. This lightweight hose is flameretardant,
puncture-resistant, features
high tensile strength and can
operate at temperatures from -40 to
570°F. Hoses are offered with diameters
ranging from 4 to 18 in. and
standard 25-ft lengths. - Flexaust

Use this ratchet tool for erecting
and disassembling scaffolding
The Williams Scaffolding Ratchet
(photo) is intended for applications
where scaffolding must be erected
for work at an elevated level. Featuring
a 36-tooth gear with 10 deg
of engagement, this tool can easily
engage the posts, fastener and
clamps on scaffolding. The ratchet
comes with a 1/2-in. drive-pinned
7/8-in. six-point socket. Opposite
of this socket is a bronze hammer

head, which can be used to
pound quick-release levers.
Additionally, a pry bar is
located at the other end of
the ratchet to aid in scaffolding
disassembly. A tethering device
prevents dropped tools. - Snap-on

These particle sensors are designed
for extreme conditions
The PS 10 particulate-matter flow
and emissions sensor (photo) is engineered
for harsh processes with high
temperatures and pressures, such as
coal gasification, fluidized-bed reactors,
kilns and other combustion or
incineration processes. Temperature
ratings up to 1,600°F and pressure
ratings to 1,000 psi are available.
There are no active electronics in the
sensor housing itself, providing high
reliability. The sensor is mounted
remotely to electronic control units
that apply advanced digita-signal
processing to allow for operation
even in extreme conditions. Monitoring
applications include particulate
emissions from fabric filters and
particulate flow in process pipes. -

A versatile curing solution for
larger light-curable parts
The BlueWave LED Flood System
(photo) for light-curable materials
provides intensity, uniformity and
repeatability in the curing process.
With the system's instant on/off ca30

pability, there are no mechanical
shutter components, no
warmup requirements, faster
exposure cycles and lower
maintenance costs, says the
company. The availability of three
different irradiator heads (365, 385
or 405 nm) gives users the ability
to optimize the curing process. Additionally,
the BlueWave LED system
features a 5 by 5-in. active area
for curing larger parts and reduced
curing times. - Dymax Corp.,

These acrylic flowmeters have
interchangeable scales
This company's 6A02 acrylic flowmeters
have interchangeable directreading
scales that are available
for any one of the following: water,
argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen
and helium. Scales are mounted
at the front of the flow body and are
positioned and secured by a clear
front-plate held in place by four
screws. A low-hysteresis, multi-turn
needle valve is also included. Dual
scales display flowrates in both metric
and English units. These flowmeters
can operate up to a maximum
temperature of 150°F and a maximum
pressure of 6.89 bars, with an
accuracy of ±3%. - Dakota Instruments,
Inc., Orangeburg, N.Y.

These systems recycle
metalworking coolants
HydroFlow Coolant Recycling Systems
(CRS; photo, p. 31) can recycle
any water-miscible fluid to its maximum
potential, thus minimizing
disposal requirements and reducing
