Smart inspection system for
maintenance in hazardous areas
Together with its strategy partner
Senseven, this company has introduced
the Valve Sense mobile inspection
system (photo). Industrial
users can now use the software and
AI-based system in conjunction with
this company's IS540.1 smartphone
to monitor critical valves in international
explosive hazardous areas. This
solution uses advanced sensor technology
based on the proven acoustic
emission method, which can be easily
applied by maintenance personnel via
software guidance - without special
training or expert knowledge. Companies
can use the mobile inspection set
consisting of a smartphone, measuring
electronics, waveguide, sensors and a
software package to regularly check
their plants themselves during ongoing
production, thus saving time and
money. Intact valves ensure smooth
operation, guarantee product quality
and also provide safety for employees.
Valve Sense helps to detect valve leakage
of water, gas, steam or air at an
early stage and to react promptly. -

Robust hearing protection with
Bluetooth connectivity
Noise-COM 500 products (photo)
are Bluetooth-enabled hearing protectors
specifically designed for use
in extremely harsh, noisy operations.
They are suitable, for example, for
use in construction, mining or other
heavy industries where using hearing
protection is vital, and the ability
to communicate with clarity is of
equally high importance. These robust
and durable hearing protectors combine
excellent ambient-sound quality
with an outstanding noise-canceling
microphone for clear speech. As the
Noise-COM 500 can be connected to
various Bluetooth two-way radios or
mobile phones, users can comfortably
listen to audio, as well as make and
receive phone calls. Additionally, the
ambient sound feature allows users to
clearly hear surrounding sounds, such
as speech or warning signals while
blocking high-level, harmful noises
out. There is also an easily accessible
rotary button for push-to-talk and ambient-sound
volume adjustment. With
the Noise-COM 500XP model, there
is an option to define ambient-sound
audio profiles for different occasions,
enabling the best possible audio for
most operational situations. - Savox

Optical flame detection
over longer distances
The Spyglass SG50-F triple infrared
(IR) and ultraviolet (UV) open-path
flame detectors (photo) offer fast and
high-performance optical flame detection
over extensive distances, and
superior false-alarm immunity when
operating in challenging environments.
All Spyglass flame detectors
are available with optional built-in color
or near-IR video, which allows users
to see fires remotely and make critical
safety decisions from a distance.
Color video is proficient at seeing gasoline
and jet fuel fires, while the nearIR
video option identifies fires caused
by hydrogen and methanol, which
may not be visible to the naked eye.

Protect tanks against
overpressure or excess vacuum
12F-TWW-0 pressure/vacuum relief
valves (PVRV; photo) are designed to
increase protection against damage
to tank equipment caused by overpressure
or excessive vacuum. These
new devices are said to achieve
superior sealing performance and
industry-leading flowrates within a
smaller valve footprint utilizing 10%
overpressure technology. With this
device,
costly
product evaporative
losses due to normal tank " breathing "
are greatly reduced and fugitive emissions
are minimized, the company
says. Made from aluminum, carbon
steel and stainless steel, the Model
12F-TWW-0 PVRV is available in sizes
from 2-12 in., in pressure settings
from 0.5 to 24 oz/in2 and vacuum
settings of 0.464 to 24 oz/in2. It also
offers superior tightness, exceeding
API-2000 leak requirements, and
is PED and ATEX certified. - Groth
