Blue-White Offers DIGI-METER F-2000 Series Flowmeter

The BW DIGI-METER F-2000 series electronic insertion-style flowmeter from Blue-White Industries is made for monitoring flow in municipal water and wastewater. The clamp-on saddle fitting and insertion sensor are quickly installed on IPS (ASTM D1785) pipe sizes from 1 1/2 through 12 inches and metric (DIN 8062) pipe sizes from 50 mm through 315 mm. The electronic display and communication enclosure can be mounted directly to the sensor, or remotely mounted to a pipe or panel. Standard models display flow rate and accumulated total flow, and include NPN open collector output for communication with data loggers, SCADA systems and other external devices. Optional 4-20 mA/0-10 VDC plug-in circuitry can be added for additional communication requirements. 714/893-8529; www.blue-white.com.

 

RIDGID Introduces TC-40 Pipe Cutter

The TC-40 plastic pipe and tube cutter from RIDGID is designed for cutting polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PEX, rubber hose, PVC and CPVC up to 1 5/8 inches outside diameter. A 75-watt motor drives the pointed X-CEL blade, providing a square, precise cut in four seconds. The pushbutton blade release allows for quick repeat cuts. The pipe cutter is powered by a detachable 12-volt lithium-ion battery for up to 250 cuts per charge. The 2.5-pound cutter features an ergonomic pistol grip and LED light at the front of the tool. 800/769-7743; www.ridgid.com.

 

Bell & Gossett Introduces i-ALERT Pump Monitor

The i-ALERT condition monitor from Bell & Gossett provides an early warning of pending pump trouble. The monitor continually measures the vibration and temperature at the pump power end and uses two red blinking LEDs to alert personnel when the pump exceeds preset vibration and temperature limits. The monitor also has a single green LED that indicates when the monitor is operational and has sufficient battery life. 847/966-3700; www.bellgossett.com.

 

Xypex Offers Crystallization Concrete Waterproofing

Crystallization concrete waterproofing from Xypex Chemical Corp. uses concrete’s inherent water permeability to deliver crystalline chemicals that plug the material’s pores and bridge micro-cracks that occur as the concrete dries and shrinks, making it resistant to chemical attack, such as sulfuric acid. The sealant can be used on new concrete or applied as a surface coating to existing concrete. It is nontoxic, contains no VOCs and is NSF-61 approved for potable water by NSF International. 604/273-5265; www.xypex.com.

 

Reed Introduces Squeeze-Off Tools

PE Squeeze-Off tools from Reed Manufacturing Co. compress polyethylene (PE) plastic tube/pipe to stop the flow of water or gas. Available in PES6 (3- to 6-inch diameter) and PES8 (3- to 8-inch) models. When used properly, the pipe will return to its original shape and normal flow rate. The tools reduce time spent looking for buried shutoff valves, reduce wasted water and gas and enable crews to restore service quicker. The “M” manual tools provide a clamping force after physically turning a handle on a long screw. The “H” hydraulic tool uses a pump and cylinder for easier clamping. 800/666-3691; www.reedmfgco.com.

 

Red Valve Offers CheckMate Inline Check Valve

The CheckMate inline check valve from Red Valve Co. is designed for odor mitigation. In outfalls, stormwater, CSO and SSO applications, the valve’s custom-engineered, all-rubber unibody design prevents sewer system odors from backing up, while allowing water to discharge as needed. Valves are available in 4- to 72-inch sizes. It is maintenance free and has a totally passive operation. 412/279-0044; www.tideflex.com.
