We thought that you may like to know that ExVeritas (a UK ATEX Notified Body and IECEx Certification Body) have just updated their popular IECEx and ATEX Information poster and are will send you one free if you contact them via their website.

The poster is Ideal for hazardous area project engineers, inspectors and equipment manufacturers. The poster has been completely revised for the latest edition of the Standards, including the latest Inspection and Installation standard (2014) charts and changes.

The compressed air system provider BEKO TECHNOLOGIES has further developed the range of CLEARPOINT filter technology.

With the innovative 3E filter elements (3E = Energy Efficient Element) and a flow-optimised, corrosion-protected housing construction, CLEARPOINT filters offer safe and reliable compressed air filtration with long service lives and significantly reduced operating costs.

Now, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES has extended the successful CLEARPOINT product line by the addition of sterile and steam filters for the highest hygienic demands.

Wolf Safety, the world’s leading manufacturer of hazardous area portable and temporary lighting, launches an extensive range of positioning, mounting and protection accessories, encompassing fixing kits, films and cable management, for its ATEX and IECEx approved LinkEx™ LED Temporary Luminaire (LX-400), giving workers more secure temporary installation solutions for lighting in hazardous area working environments.

Lone Workers can enjoy ATEX compliant protection

Legislation does not prohibit lone working in a general sense, but companies and organisations must conduct a risk assessment covering the activities of all employees, including lone workers. Since the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007, companies and organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of duty of care.

Wolf Safety, the world’s leading manufacturer of hazardous area portable and temporary lighting equipment, announces that its programme to update its lighting products to meet the evolving requirements of the latest harmonised standards is nearing completion, ensuring the continued compliance of all ATEX products newly supplied by Wolf to the strict requirements of the Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC now, and into the future.

The ATEX Directive requires that the latest advancements in technical knowledge and "state-of-the-art" thinking, which can change rapidly, are taken into account and implemented without delay into the protection of electrical or mechanical equipment designed for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

For the storage of flammable liquids DENIOS provides complete solutions from a single source: fire protection container and walk-in fire protection storage type BMC. The BMC ensures that operational requirements can be carried out in compliance with the latest regulations, no matter what the application is.

The robust steel fire protection container will impress with its practical standard equipment: A generous spill pallet collection tray including grid ensures compliance with PPG 26 regulations, and self-closing T90 doors provide immediate protection in case of fire. Additional equipment can be added as required, including but not limited to, heating or cooling systems, explosion proof equipment, shelving systems, loading trays made of PE and extinguishing systems. Also technical vents are available. They have a fire protection shut-off to ensure the required air change. Lights are also available in explosion-proof or standard on request.

New compact high output D2x explosion proof horn sounders and horn/beacon units from E2S

The new D2x family from E2S Warning Signals, the world’s largest independent warning device manufacturer, is based on a high output 116 dB(A) SPL 64-tone 4-stage horn sounder, which can be combined with a powerful 5 or 10 Joule Xenon strobe in a compact 130 mm wide, 125 mm deep die-cast marine grade aluminium housing. Designed for use in Zone 2, 22 and Division 2 hazardous locations, the D2x is a truly global product range, with multiple approvals permitting use in regions covered by IECEx, ATEX, NEC and CEC regulations.

FLIR Systems has just announced an end of year promotion to seriously whet the appetite! Throughout December, anyone ordering a new FLIR E8, Exx-Series or T-Series thermal imaging camera will also receive a free FLIR ONE thermal imaging device for the iPhone 5/5S.  This award-winning product puts a new world of vision in the palm of your hand.  It is based on FLIR’s miniature LEPTON™ camera that is also featured in the company’s latest imaging, infrared thermometer, the FLIR TG165.

Hazardous Engineering Solutions magazine has teamed up with thermographic services specialist Ti Thermal Imaging Ltd to offer HES newsletter subscribers a free three-month trial of its new TICOR™ Android-based thermal imaging reporting application which provides immediate one click report generation.

TICOR™ is one of two new software packages developed by Thermal Imaging Ltd which cut thermal imaging engineers’ survey/reporting time by 25% by streamlining the data capture, input and analysis procedures associated with thermal imaging report generation and maintenance monitoring.
 
TICOR™ is believed to be the first Android-based thermal imaging reporting application which provides immediate one click report generation. Installing the software on an android tablet enables engineers to enter data from a thermal imaging camera directly into the tablet and produce instant diagnostic reports while they are still on site with just one click at the end of each TI survey.  

The TICOR™ software can also be integrated into WEBCOR™ - Ti Thermal Imaging’s new online predictive maintenance and condition monitoring programme – and, again with just one click, the data captured on TICOR™ can be uploaded onto WEBCOR™ to provide data comparison and tracking of any changes to give early indication of potential issues or problem areas.

Both software programmes are compatible with any thermal imaging cameras that produce images in various formats as well as the recently-launched Seek Thermal camera attachment for mobile phones.   They provide a particularly efficient solution for monitoring and managing thermal imaging information for multi-site operations.   

Key Features

• Ability to report during inspection / survey
• Generate a one click report
• Built on knowledge based libraries
• Built for android
• Load correction formulas for electrical inspections
• Thermal indexing formulas for building inspections
• Pixel counting for spot measurement
• Preload inventory
• Check images in one click

 Key Deliverables

• Review report on survey completion quickly with minimal fuss
• Reduced reporting time on survey completion
• All reports created using common sentences
• Latest technology software and tablets
• Campaign management
• Auto fault find based on mathematical formula
• Measure distance between spots directly from image
• Easier inspection routes
• Quickly ensure correct image path names

 The software packages are the brainchild  of Richard Wallace,  Managing Director of Ti Thermal Imaging which has over 12 years’ thermographic surveying experience, and were born out of his frustration at the length of time engineers have to spend manually copying data to produce a report after a site visit.  

Wallace says:  “Engineers currently spend around an hour for each three hours of surveying, manually transferring data from TI cameras and cross-referencing and matching it with the images, and I thought there had to be a more efficient way of producing reports.  We looked at what was available on the market and none of the software we found did what we wanted it to do.  We’ve worked with a software specialist to create the TICOR™ and WEBCOR™ programmes so that engineers aren’t spending another two hours producing reports at the end of a six hour survey.”

Wallace adds:  “With thermal imaging now being so widely used across a wide platform of industries from oil, gas, water to construction, manufacturing and retail, there are so many applications where TICOR™ and WEBCOR™ will provide engineers with a cost-effective, time-efficient method of capturing and reporting data instantly and on an on-going basis.”
