Corrosion Resistant Test Chamber Extraction
Test chambers are designed to examine various types of materials in many different ways for a wide scope of applications. Chambers may be required to measure corrosion or to test components to destruction. Their primary function is to speed up the processes to simulate time in an environment.
Finding the long term resistance to corrosion for various types of materials requires the speeding up of corrosion up (Read More)
Air Design launches standard range of Air Handling Units
With increased demand for improved energy efficiency and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Air Design, the leading brand of air handling units from Elta Group, has answered these requirements with the launch of PURA - a new range of standard energy recovery Air Handling Units.
Using heat and/or coolth* recovery technologies, the standard range of extruded aluminium pentapost frame Air Handling and Energy Recovery Units are able to minimise utility bills for improved energy savings and increased performance. The PURA units are suitable for both internal and external applications and in a range of sectors, from industrial and commercial buildings to healthcare and educational facilities.
The units come equipped with a plate heat exchanger or rotor and an electric heater or low pressure hot water (LPHW) coil for heat provision. For cooling, a chilled water of refrigerant coil (Read More)
HSE Safety Alert For Mild Steel Welding Fume
The UK HSE have recently released an alert warning that exposure to mild steel welding fume can cause lung cancer; and potentially also kidney cancer.. This is based on recent research by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Mild steel welding fume has now been reclassified as a human carcinogen.
What does this mean for employers? (Read More)
Brady’s Spill control guide book offers ideas on how to prepare for potential spills and what to do in case of a spill.
Uncontrolled spills can have a devastating effect on the environment, on people and businesses in the vicinity of the spill, and on a company’s future. Well prepared companies can stop spills before they cause workplace accidents, affect the health of employees and people living nearby, damage the environment and contaminate water. Investing in spill control tools can prevent major costs in fines, damages and pollution cleanup.
Boom for extraction systems in the UK: Welding companies trust in KEMPER
KEMPER records extraordinarily high growth in Great Britain. The demand for effective extraction systems has increased significantly since the introduction of stricter health and safety regulations in February.
The background is the reclassification of welding fumes: According to this, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) no longer only assesses hazardous substances from stainless steel welding, but also from mild steel welding as carcinogenic. (Read More)
BEKA panel lamps gain dust certification
BA390 intrinsically safe panel lamps from BEKA associates now have IECEx and ATEX dust certification in addition to their original gas approval.
Permitting installation in all dust Zones, this additional certification further extends the applications for this extensive range of panel mounting LED lamps.
Available in five different well defined colours, all the lamps incorporate a 20mA current regulator which maintains (Read More)
Ashtead launches intrinsically safe dust monitor
Ashtead Technology has added TSI’s latest personal aerosol monitor, the SidePak™ AM520i to its fleet of instruments available for both rental and sale.
“This is a major addition to our equipment portfolio,” comments Senior Sales Manager Josh Thomas. “Many workplaces include areas that contain or produce explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres, and a high proportion of these zones contain risks associated (Read More)
Want to understand more about explosions and their consequences?
Are you responsible for industrial premises that fall under the DSEAR or ATEX regulations? Are you involved in designing new process plants or maintaining existing ones? Do you work in hazardous areas?
If so, you will need a full understanding into the phenomenon of explosions, and the requirements of UK and EU regulations relating to health and safety in potentially explosive atmospheres. (Read More)
