Oxford Flow
Flow control equipment specialist Oxford Flow launched two pilots, designed for use in high- and low-pressure environments.
Designed for use with the company’s hydrogen-ready IM series gas regulators, the pilots will expand market potential and offer the GDN operator a solution that can be used throughout its system.
The PRX2H high-pressure pilot is now ready to be deployed, with the PRX2L low-pressure pilot due for release in 2024. The new range of pilots includes: PRX2L low pressure reducing pilot (13mbar – 1.2 bar); PRX2 pressure reducing pilot (0.5-25 bar); PRX2H high pressure reducing pilot (17-70 bar); and PSX1 pressure sustaining/creep relief pilot (0.5-22 bar). www.oxford-flow.com
Sensirion
Sensirion offered its next-generation miniature CO2 sensor series, the SCD4x. The device is built on the photo-acoustic sensing principle and the patented PASens and CMOSens Technology enables the small sensor size to combine with high performance.
The integrated humidity and temperature sensor enable on-chip signal compensation and additional RH and T outputs. Also, the large supply voltage range (2.4 V-5.5 V), and adjustable power consumption make the SCD4x increases savings.
The kit contains a four-pin jumper wire cable that enables fast prototyping, through integration into existing platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. www.sensirion.com/scd4x
NDT Global
NDT Global released its OPTIX Data Visualization and Insights Platform, providing pipeline operators with an intuitive, cloud-based dashboard to visualize all inline inspection (ILI) data in one accessible location.
Digitization of the final inspection report, combined with the ease of filtering and arranging relevant data, allows operators to better understand their ILI inspection results and make more informed decisions to ensure the integrity of their pipelines.
The platform provides a comprehensive view of pipeline conditions not previously available, bringing together results from many inspection runs. Continued advancement in ILI technologies has led to significantly more data to extract and interpret. www.ndt-global.com
Antaira
Antaira Technologies introduced its LMP-1802G-M12-10G-SFP-67-24 and LMX-1802G-M12-10G-SFP-67 Series Light Layer 3 managed series of switches.
The IP67-rated switch was designed specifically for industrial applications that are subject to high vibration and shock, water, and dust. It is backed by a five-year warranty.
The switches offer 24 to 55 VDC redundant power inputs through a five-pin M12 K-coded male connector. Total power of 240 watts is available for supplying up to 16 IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) devices.
Easy to manage, the 16-port 10/100/1,000 Mbps LAN M12 ports offer 148,800 pps for fast packet switching with store and forward technology. The 8-pin M12 CAT6A sockets with X-coding female connectors feature auto-negotiation speeds, full/half-duplex mode and auto-MDI/MDI-X connections. www.antaira.com
Enduro
Enduro’s Digitel Data Logger DW2 ILI pig features advanced IMU navigation equipment that complements our PigProg software containing GIS tools that connect to a system using ArcGIS.
Pipeline operators are becoming familiar with new regulations pertaining to CFR 192 and 195 compliances. Pipelines affected by these new regulations will need accurate mapping along with moderate consequence area (MCA) determination.
Natural gas gathering and transmission pipelines also need to be updated. Enduro also has tools to work with liquid pipeline operators for HCA determination using the unusual sensitive area (USA) licensed datasets. www.enduropls.com
Endress+Hauser
Endress+Hauser offers the Prosonic Flow P 500 measuring system, a device that requires only minimal straight inlet runs and can be installed directly onto the exterior of the pipe, so there is no need to interrupt operations.
In contrast to mechanical meters with high maintenance requirements, ultrasonic flowmeters have no moving parts. It can be mounted on a wide variety of pipeline types, including steel or cast-iron and plastic.
A special, maintenance-free contact foil (coupling pad) provides optimum sound transmission between the sensor surface and the pipe.
Depending on the line size, fluid, and pipe material, the sensors are delivered with different ultrasonic frequencies (0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, or 5 MHz) to provide maximum signal quality, and thus a high level of accuracy and repeatability. www.endress.com
RegO
RegO introduced Presto-Tap, the industry’s only UL-listed liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) system leak test devices to its portfolio.
Adding the full line of Presto-Tap devices to its portfolio of LPG valves, regulators and tank hardware enables the company to provide a fast, low-emissions way to perform required National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) system leak tests.
RegO provides an online calculator to project the total savings available, with the devices and valves, factoring in the cost of the technician’s time, service call expenses and the cost of excess LPG emissions. RegO also offers the LDS2000 RV fitting, a series of Presto-Tap LDS brass pigtails, as well as tank pressure fittings (TPF Series) for installation between the tank service valve and the first-stage regulator. www.pages.regoproducts.com
