Understanding & Proper Installation of Pipe Penetration Seals
Why a gas and watertight seal is important for your operation When designing a pumping system-or refurbishing, reconfiguring, or expanding one-users may be faced with sending a pipe through a wall, floor, tank, or vault. Sealing this pipe-through so that no substance-gas or liquid-leaks is of utmost concern. Not only could the failure to create a gas or watertight seal create loss of efficiency ...

Pipeline Inspection Using Optical Gas Imaging
FLIR Systems has published a new application spotlight that highlights the role its Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras are playing in detecting gas leaks from oil and gas pipelines. Oil and gas pipelines often stretch long distances, carrying a variety of materials. Sometimes the pipes fail, resulting in liquid leaks or fugitive emissions of gas releasing into the environment. Through routine ...

New requirements for safe use and storage of liquid nitrogen and dry ice
The College of American Pathologists ("CAP")recently imposed new requirements to address risks related to the use and storage of liquid nitrogen ("LN2") and dry ice. Background The new requirements come after a deadly incident in 2017, when liquid nitrogen leaked at a Georgia lab that was not accredited through CAP. Emergency responders were called to the scene when an employee suffered burns ...

PureAire Combines Oxygen and CO2 Sensors to provide a Dual Gas Monitor to the Marketplace
As a recognized leader in O2 safety monitoring, PureAire recently explored the need for an O2 monitor where carbon dioxide is used. There are four key cryogenic gases; nitrogen, helium, argon, and carbon dioxide (CO2), which can create an oxygen deficient atmosphere. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) covering cryogenic gases cite that a cryogenic leak can create an unsafe environment by lowering ...

Enhanced Geomembrane CQA through proper application of geomembrane leak location surveys
Abstract Historically, geomembrane construction quality assurance (CQA) has focused on destructive testing of welded seams to verify seam strength and integrity. Paradoxically, seams are not subject to significant stress and practically never fail in service, while holes and construction damage in the geomembrane are a much more widespread problem. The historical approach fails to evaluate how ...

Thermal Vacuum Chambers: A Must Have for Space Exploration
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space, thus ushering in the Space Age. Since then, over 8,000 satellites have been launchedfrom more than 50 countries. According to Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, at the end of 2021 there were around 5,000 active satellites in orbit. In addition to all of those ...

10 Reasons why you should continuously monitor low temperature and liquid chemical sterilants for worker safety
1. Sterilant chemicals are highly toxic Low temperature and liquid chemical sterilants are designed to kill all microorganisms including resistant spores and if they were not toxic, they would not be effective in sufficiently high concentration to destroy all microbial life including the chemically resistant sporicidal forms of certain bacteria. There are two main classes of sterilant chemical, ...
