Methyl Ethyl Ketone Vapor Detector Tube

Tube No. 152L has a detection range of 3 - 384 ppm for Methyl

Ethyl Ketone. With the ACGIH TLV-TWA set at 200 ppm and the

TLV-STEL set at 300 ppm this tube gives a clear indication of worker exposure concentrations relative to the TLVs in approximately 1 minute using only 1/2 pump stroke with the Gastec pump (range 120-384 ppm) For a lower detection range use full pump stroke to measure 3 - 120 ppm. — Nextteq LLC., 877/312-

Circle1onCard Enhanced CO & H2S Sensors

The new generation of the 4CF+ carbon monoxide and 4HS+ hydrogen sulfide sensors are now available. A number of design improvements and highly automated volume manufacturing and test techniques have contributed to the new sensors’ enhanced performance.

All pins are gold plated, lowering contact resistance with the socket. Internal current collector wires are ultrasonic welded. A

100% leak test on the electrode sealing along with 24 different parameters tested are an integral part of the manufacturing process.

Advanced Absorption Technology

PetroGuard is a dry, white granular high capacity instantly solidifying polymeric absorbent for hazardous chemical spills. Once applied,

PetroGuard will form an interlocking network matrix with rubber-like consistency. After treatment with PetroGuard, the solidified matrix becomes impervious to air or water, thereby eliminating vapor production. Deactivation process is mechanical not chemical and is non-exothermic. — Guardian Environmental Technologies,

Portable Gas Monitor

The OBSERVER® portable gas monitor - has the ability to indicate hazardous conditions in two places at the same time. The

OBSERVER® separates the sensors from the display unit and has alarm annunciation on both halves. The instrument monitors up to 5 different gases, has auto self-diagnostics of batteries, sensors, and electronics. This separate transmitting and receiving unit enables lowering of the sensing unit into a confined space to check for the presence of gases and safe oxygen levels before entering the area of concern. — Sensidyne LP, 800/451-9444, www.sensidyne.com Circle 6 on Card

Disk Filter Respirator for Tough Work Environments The 2200 series particulate filter technology captures particles in a three layer filtration design versus the traditional five layers. The reduced number of layers enables easier breathing while offering the same level of filtration performance. It also incorporates a new netting construction technology, enhancing durability that can mean a longer-lasting filter. — 3M, 800/243-4630, www.3M.com/OccSafety Circle 4 on Card
