carbon monoxide levels. The expanded measuring range of 80,000ppm allows technicians to test even the most poorly maintained equipment without risking damage to the gas sensor. Bacharach’s Combustion mobile app allows the user to quickly and easily create and send customisable emissions reports from their smartphones or tablets.

Bacharach, a specialist in gas detection and analysis instrumentation, has introduced the Monoxor XR (extended range) hand-held exhaust gas analyser for measuring carbon monoxide in ambient air or directly from the exhaust pipe of forklifts, floor burnishers or other equipment burning propane, gasoline, diesel or CNG (compressed natural gas). The Monoxor XR is used for verifying worker safety and achieving compliance with OSHA air quality regulations. It can also be used for engine tuning and diagnostics, resulting in improved equipment efficiency and fuel savings. The Monoxor XR provides visual and audible alarming for instant alerting of personnel to dangerous

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques launches pipe freezing systems

plug. It is a controlled method of pipe freezing that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze stationary liquids in a section of pipe or tubing. The nitrogen is passed through a coil surrounding the pipe producing a frozen plug inside and hence preventing flow through the part to be removed.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT ® ) has launched Accu-Freeze™ Pipe Freezing Systems for sealing a pipe or system while pipe repairs or general pipework maintenance is carried out, without the need to drain the system. Accu-Freeze is available from HFT’s Pipestoppers ® Division and reduces pipe fluid to a temperature below its freezing point and develops a freeze

little drain-down or refill and little to no system downtime. “The ice plug only forms beneath the Accu-Freeze coil wrap, jacket or aluminium clam jacket. The system is effective on 6-12" (150 to 300mm) pipe or tube. The ice plug does not expand outside of the range of the jacket or coil.”  The LN2 injections are automated, which reduces the

operators’ workload and the amount of LN2 consumed, keeping operating costs low. Accu-Freeze can also be operated remotely, which makes it ideal for use inside ‘hot’ nuclear areas where personal exposure must be kept below certain limits. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques www.huntingdonfusion.com
