Explosions Happen.

Industrial fires and explosions happen and they have serious consequences. In 2014 alone, “accidents in the U.S. chemical and processing industries resulted in 85 fatalities and more than 600 serious injuries". But we rarely hear about them.

Visit us at the 2015 CHEM SHOW

Come visit us next week at the 2015 CHEM Show at the Javits Center in NYC on November 17-19!

This year the CHEM Show will celebrate its 100th anniversary by looking to the innovations that will drive the industry into the future, "if you are involved in processing chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods or other products that require mixing, blending, separating, or any process application, The Chem Show is your best resource to see and learn about the latest solutions that fit your process applications".

Minimum Standards

Today's message comes from the President of CIC:

No one would proclaim someone a good person simply because they haven’t been thrown in jail yet. Obeying the law is a minimum. It is not an ideal. It is not even an achievement. Likewise, the industry standards such as CENELEC or ATEX or NFPA norms are minimums. It is what is necessary and probably sufficient to prevent fires and explosions. We say “probably” sufficient because even installations that seem to meet all the code requirements still experience fires and explosions, just at a much lower rate than others. 

Flammability Analyzers for Process Applications

Industry standards have been established which set minimum levels of performance for flammable gas detectors. Sensors which are successfully tested and approved to these minimum standards can be listed and labeled. There are however, special requirements for solvent vapor moitoring. 

Our article in FS-World Magazine describes the considerations required when selecting a flammability analyzer for process applications.

Manufacturing Day 2015

Happy MFG DAY 2015!!

Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. It's a celebration of what 12 million people around the United States, inlcuding employees of this company, experience every day - pride at working in manufacturing. Although Manufacturing Day officially occurs on the first Friday in October, any day can be a Manufacturing Day.
