New adaptaflex website highlights world leading flexible conduit systems
he new website for Adaptaflex flexible conduit systems is now live.
www.adaptaflex.com
T Visitors to will find comprehensive
information about one of the broadest ranges of flexible conduit systems currently available. Designed to protect critical power and data cabling, industries as diverse as construction, marine and rail infrastructure benefit from the application of Adaptaflex technology and there are also countless uses within machinery manufacturing and mechanical engineering. The new website provides full technical details on Adaptaflex products, with a product search feature provided to assist in the correct conduit specification.
The new Adaptaflex
fully interactive product catalogue is included on the site and visitors can also register as Members to download and receive technical information, drawings,
approvals, data sheets and other
specialist literature. Adaptaflex conduit systems, cable glands, fittings, accessories and pipe tools are available from Thomas & Betts subsidiaries and distributors throughout the world.

New flowmeter for compressed air and gases
nly with precise knowledge of compressed air and process gas costs can saving potential be understood. The new thermal flowmeters from E+E Elektronik record the mass flow or corrected volume flow in your supply network with the highest possible precision, regardless of pressure or temperature. For example, consumption of compressed air, nitrogen, helium, CO2 or oxygen can be measured. The EE771, EE772 and EE776 flowmeters enable extremely precise evaluation throughout the pipe network from the compressor through to the end consumer. Even the smallest volume flows are recorded accurately, which is a prerequisite for charging consumers exactly or locating leaks. Measurements can be carried out in pipes of DN15 (1/2“) to DN300 (12“) and with an operating pressure of 16 or 40 bar. During development, special attention was paid to simple, cost-effective and, above all, safe assembly of the flowmeters. In this respect, the patented non-return protection device of the EE776 sets new standards for safety. The hot tap valve of the EE772 and the ball valve mounting fitting of the EE771 ensure that the flowmeters can be installed and removed very quickly in their operational state. This is a useful feature for periodic quality control and calibration.
O For pipes from
DN40 (1 ½“) this can even be done without interrupting the flow in the supply pipeline.
It is easy for the customer to adapt the flowmeter perfectly to its measurement task using the configuration software included in the delivery. Two signal outputs are available to output the measured values. Depending on the application, these can be configured as an analogue output (current or voltage), switching output or pulse output for consumption measuring.
The
flowmeters are also optionally available with an integrated bus output, M-bus or Modbus RTU.

company to save £10,000 on energy with ABB
A
galvanising company in Kent is set to save over £10,000 a year in electrical energy costs while also cutting CO2 by 60 tonnes a year following the installation of an ABB standard drive on its fume extraction system. Medway Galvanising Company Ltd, based in Sittingbourne provides galvanising, powder coating, stripping and shot blasting services for all types of architectural and structural steel for customers in the South East of England. As part of its galvanising service, it processes up to 12,000 metric tonnes of steel a year, based on 24 hour production from Sunday to Saturday. Galvanising is carried out in the company’s zinc dipping bath, which contains 145 metric tonnes of molten zinc at 450 degrees centigrade. An extraction system over the zinc dipping bath is used to extract the harmful fumes given off in the process. The fan on this extraction system was initially run at full speed for 24 hours a day, even when not needed. The new installation involves an ABB standard drive and a high efficiency 37 kW ABB motor. For most of the time, the ABB motor runs at half speed, or 25 Hz.

or any organisations selling electrical assemblies into the US market, the launch of the Kopex-Ex UL listed range of XP-Flex explosion-proof flexible couplings will be of particular interest. As
UL listed products they are approved for use in hazardous and wet locations including Class 1, Div 1 & 2 classified areas. This classification covers areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable gasses, vapours or liquids are present within the atmosphere under normal operation conditions. XP- Flex explosion-proof flexible couplings have a flexible bronze construction with an arc resistant inner sleeve and brass fittings.
nipples. With their flexible design, XP-Flex couplings make it easy to achieve tight bends in electrical conduit systems in confined spaces - or to connect stationary equipment to equipment that moves or vibrates.
Their explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant construction means they can be used with confidence in hazardous and wet areas. The XP-Flex range is available in 150-915mm flexible lengths, with ½, ¾ and 1 inch NPT threads available.
