Use these scales with
corrosive materials
This company offers a wide range of
150-lb cylinder scales (photo) that
are used for weighing and monitoring
the usage of corrosive chemicals,
including liquefied gases, such
as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, ammonia,
hydrogen chloride and carbon
dioxide, which are packaged in cylinders
up to 12 in. in diameter. The
scales feature a corrosion-resistant
construction, and are available with
digital and mechanical components.
Single- and multiple-cylinder models
are available. The scales' low-profile
platform design increases safety
and ease of cylinder handling. Booth

Integrated gas detector makes
laboratory analysis portable
The X-pid (photo) is an intrinsically
safe gas detector that can detect
benzene, butadiene and other volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) in a
matter of seconds and weighs less
than 3 lb. Designed for users who
frequently test for hazardous toxic
substances, the X-pid product line
integrates gas detection capabilities
via photoionization detector (PID)
and gas chromatography (GC) technologies,
combining robust analysis
with portability. The integrated PID
provides measurement in the low
parts-per-billion (ppb) concentration
range. The PID/GC gas detector also
comes with an explosion-proof handheld
control unit and mobile app that
enable intuitive handling and control.
The device's sensor unit compiles
measurement
values
and sends
them via Bluetooth to the control unit.

Piping systems for safe
conveyance of hazardous liquids
The Double-See vinyl double-containment
piping system (photo) is an
easy-to-install pressure-rated system
with a primary (inner) and secondary
(outer) pipe designed for safely
transporting hazardous liquids. With
the Double-See system, both primary
and secondary pipes are cut to the
same length and can be joined simultaneously.
This saves significant
time and prevents potential mistakes
caused by staggered pipe-cut measurement
errors, according to the
