New Inhalable Particulate Sampling Head
Industrial Hygienists and Safety Professionals are required by certain regulations to sample for inhalable particulate, which is material that can be inhaled by a worker and deposited within their respiratory tract. To meet this demand Sensidyne (USA) introduces the IOM Sampling Head. The IOM inhalable dust sampling head was developed by the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Scotland to sample for inhalable particulate using a personal air sampling pump such as a Gilian 5000 or GilAir-3. When operated at 2 LPM it collects a dust sample that follows the particle size distribution as described by the ACGIH for inhalable particulate. For particles of 1 micron diameter, nearly all (97%) are captured by the IOM sampling head and collected onto the filter. For particles of 100 microns in diameter, 50% are collected onto the filter. This approximates the size distribution in the respiratory tract.

SV 100 integrated dosimeter for Whole-Body Vibration Measurements
Svantek (Poland) has announced the introduction of SV 100 a completely new, integrated Human Vibration Meter (HVM) & Analyser. This dosimeter is one of the first ever made complete HVM integrated with the triaxial “Seat Accelerometer”. SV 100 is equipped with a driver-presence detection sensor and user interface (display and push-buttons) for easy review and control of measurement state. SV 100 meets ISO 8041:2005 standard requirements and it is an ideal choice for the measurements according to the ISO 2631-1,2&5 standard. Instrument has all required weighting filters for the Whole-Body vibration measurements together with RMS, Peak, Peak-Peak, VDV, MTVV results. Moreover, using a computational power of its digital signal processor, the SV 100 instrument can perform real-time 1/1 or 1/3 octave analysis simultaneously to the meter mode. The time-domain signal recording (according to the ISO 2631-5) is also available as an exceptional option. Advanced time history logging, in non-volatile 64 MB internal memory, accomplishes the very powerful measurement capability.
The data downloading and instrument programming by the use of computer is easy and quick thanks to the USB
1.1 interface (12 MHz) which allows the connection with the SVANPC+ software. Instrument can be powered by a special battery pack, car “cigarette lighter” socket or the USB interface.

Extronics has created its range of products, in conjunction with market leading technology partners, to overcome the costs and timescales required to develop and certify voice and data networks and devices for extreme environments, by taking advantage of the original OEM’s initial investment and re-engineering the equipment to suit the hazardous environments in the process industries. By working with a few key prominent wireless network technology companies, Extronics brings customers the most advanced, feature rich, intrinsically safe and explosion proof network available, based on the worldwide 802.11 standard. Through its iWAP range of wireless access points Extronics can provide technologies such as WLAN, MESH routing, real time location, VoIP and telemetry. Extronics has also developed its wide range of iANT antennas to provide optimum coverage, bandwidth and distance for a variety of applications. Paul Lazor, Sales and Marketing Director at Extronics, commented, “Many facilities with hazardous areas have been held back in their drive for greater productivity because either the combination of cost and disruption to the site had ruled out installing wireless networks, or the technology was not available in the wider market to make wireless solutions robust and reliable enough. We have now reached a stage where we see a huge range of wireless and hand held devices that have the potential to revolutionize the process industries and we’ve set ourselves at the forefront of that today by launching our network and product range for use in extreme environments.”
