Castell supplies safety interlocks to Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant


astell is to supply interlocking systems to the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant Phase II project under construction in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, China. Tianwan is the nuclear power plant with the highest unit capacity in China. To date, it is the largest joint technical and economic project undertaken by China and Russia. Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant Phase II project in Lianyungang, China, uses Castell safety interlocking products to ensure the safety of maintenance staff Castell will provide multiple sets of mini FS industrial safety interlocks and key exchange boxes for the China National Nuclear Corporation construction project. These devices prevent the busbar earthing switch from connecting during maintenance on high-voltage switchgear, thereby guaranteeing the safety of maintenance staff. Since 2010, Castell has provided customised safety interlocking devices for six successive nuclear power projects in China. Project supporter ABB China recommended Castell to the China National Nuclear Corporation as part of this latest Power Plant Phase II project.

manufacturer’s recommended price is now £399 and the VT04A is £369. Fluke Visual IR Thermometers fill the gap for when a single-spot temperature reading is not enough and a high-resolution thermal image is more than users need: the one tool combines the visual insight of a thermal imager, the visual images of a digital camera, and the point-and-shoot convenience of an IR thermometer. Using the VT04 or VT04A is far faster for conducting inspections of electrical, industrial, HVAC/R and automotive applications than an infrared thermometer, which requires multiple readings and manually recorded results. The Fluke VT04 and VT04A offer a wide 28°x28° field of view for scanning and up-close evaluation and sharp images.

licat Scientific has expanded its Gas Select™ firmware to include a library of up to 130 preloaded gases, referenced to NIST Prop 9, and


an industry-first utility for defining mixed gas compositions. New to Gas Select 5.0, the COMPOSER utility gives users the ability to quickly program and store up to 20 personalized gas compositions directly on Alicat mass flow meters and mass flow controllers. With COMPOSER’s capabilities, Alicat devices adapt to a range of applications and users’ changing needs. The Gas Select firmware comes standard on all Alicat mass flow meters and controllers. Version 5.0’s expanded library now includes up to 130 preloaded full gas calibrations, depending on the Alicat instrument series. In addition to many pure gases, Gas Select 5.0 includes numerous gas mixes commonly used in bioreactor, welding, manufacturing, power, refrigerant and medical industries. The library has also been updated to include complete NIST Ref Prop 9 gas properties data for the preloaded gases and gas mixes.

cean Optics has introduced a new substrate for Raman spectroscopy applications.


Surface-enhanced Raman


spectroscopy (SERS) substrates are highly sensitive, stable and reliable,


delivering precise trace-level Raman spectroscopy


measurement in applications ranging from chemical and explosive agent detection, to authentication, contaminant screening and quality control in production environments and the laboratory. Using precisely controlled gold nanoparticles, Ocean Optics SERS substrates amplify very weak Raman signals by many orders of magnitude. The result is fast, repeatable SERS measurements for the identification and quantification of SERS-active analytes. Detection at the parts per billion, and even parts per trillion,


level are


possible. Ocean Optics’ unique SERS substrate manufacturing method results in affordable mass production with high repeatability and customization options. Standard substrates are microscope slide format with a 5 mm diameter active area.

St John’s Ambulance revealed that only 18 per cent of people know basic first aid, yet all businesses are required by law to provide the appropriate first-aid arrangements, including the provision of trained first aiders. In order to help promote workplace safety and guide businesses towards providing the right kit and training, Arco, the UK’s leading safety supplier, has published an Expert Guide to First Aid Kits and Training in the Workplace.


With two main bodies providing


recommendations on good practice for first aid provision in the workplace, The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 Approved Code of Practice and Guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), it can be confusing for businesses to understand what is needed to be compliant. Arco’s First Aid Expert Guide provides clear instruction on the current regulations and on the correct contents of first aid kits.

Valve Ranges Complement Hydra-Cell Pumps


W


anner International offers a wide selection of Back Pressure Valves and Pressure Relief


Valves that it claims are ideal for use in chemical dosing systems and complement its Hydra-Cell diaphragm pumps. Wanner Back Pressure Valves help ensure that Hydra-Cell pumps provide accurate predictable flow, while the Pressure Relief Valves protect pumps and systems from over pressure situations. Like the Hydra-Cell pumps, the robust low maintenance diaphragm valves have no dynamic seals, guaranteeing complete 100% containment of the pumped liquid. Both ranges are available in a wide range of materials including 316 Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C, PVDF and Polypropylene making them the ideal choice when pumping corrosive or hazardous chemicals. With flanged, union, threaded and socket connection options, they offer high reliability in rigorous service and require minimal maintenance that can invariably be carried out in- situ without removing the valve from the pipe work.
