demanding safety standards in hazardous industries,
including oil-and-gas production, tanker loading and
unloading, petrochemical refining and storage, pipelines
and gas compressor stations, hydrogen production,
electric power generation, automotive and pharmaceutical
manufacturing. The HazardWatch FX-12 System is
designed with an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable
logic controller (PLC) technology and advanced
gas- and flame-detection field devices. Allen-Bradley
DLR-enabled communication protocols allow secure integration
with other products. A complete solution in a
single system, the HazardWatch FX-12 System includes:
a standalone local fire and gas alarm panel with touchscreen
operator interface; a redundant power supply to
support the fire and gas system according to NFPA 72;
easy integration with third-party auxiliary devices, such
as horns, beacons and fire suppression systems; and
FM-approved EtherNet/IP system communications.
The HazardWatch FX-12 can accommodate up to 12
field devices per alarm panel, with the capability to network
up to 12 panels. - MSA Safety, Inc., Cranberry

A smaller AODD model is added to this
pump product range
The extensive range of
Finnish Thompson FTI
air-operated double diaphragm
(AODD) pumps
has recently been expanded
with the addition
of a new 0.25-in.
non-metallic model, the
FT025 (photo), available
in polypropylene, polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF)
and conductive polypropylene
for use in ATEX
areas. The FT025 model delivers a maximum flowrate of
22 L/min (5.8 gal/min) at a maximum air-supply pressure
of 120 psi (8.3 bars). The FT025 extends the minimum
flow capabilities of AODD pump for a wider range of
pumping applications. Furthermore, FT025 pumps are
suited to handling abrasive, viscous and shear-sensitive
liquids and even " dirty " liquids, with particles up to 1.8
mm (0.06 in.) in diameter. Typical applications will include
handling acids, bases, plating solutions, wastewater,
paints, inks, solvents, ceramic slip and glaze, lubricants
and oils. The FT025 includes a unique lube-free air valve
design, which means that significantly fewer components
are used compared to other air valves, resulting in
reduced servicing time and the associated maintenance
costs and downtime. The air valve components include
a low-friction slide valve on a ceramic plate to allow for
long lifetime and superior sealing, and a molded Buna
rubber gasket that ensures total sealing and eliminates
flat gasket tearing. - Michael Smith Engineers Ltd.,
