Wafer piece of pipeline = proactive scale
buildup maintenance, reduced shutdown
Flowrox Scaling Watch is newly announced for precise measurement of scale in pipe-
lines and other fuid control environments.
This wafer piece of pipeline is engineered to insert between two fanges for precise
ft. It allows scale detection often the result of hardened mineral deposits that can reduce
fuids fow through a pipeline. It serves oil and gas or other industries where production
rates can be adversely affected by the hardening of iron, salts, or other minerals in pipes
and valves.
This device uses Electrical Capacitance Tomography technology. It allows operators to see
inside piping systems without stopping a process or opening a line. It also enables 3D-
imaging plus measurement of nonconductive media inside process pipelines and tanks.
Flowrox Scaling Watch utilizes a patented algorithm to create 3D image of process fuid
in piping. It generates trend data as well as shows free volume inside pipe and scale
growth rate over time. The new system also shows scale thickness, scale profle, and
composition all of which allow engineers to understand areas where pipes are prone
to scaling. This new predictive device helps operators address scale issues before they
reach critical levels which can cause downtime or costly damage. It comes in carbon steel,
316/316L stainless steel or titanium.

help improve probability of detecting
defects sooner and to perform routine
predictive maintenance.
Integrated camera and LCD monitor
combine portability, durability and the
latest imaging technology. A sunlight-
readable display offers outstanding view
of quality images for smart decisions to

Automated foor wrench
reduces drillstring damage
Bulldog 90 Automated Floor Wrenches reduce
drillstring damage for new build and retroft rigs.
Operated solely by a hard-mounted console and
wireless remote control, they also improve drill foor
safety, removing workers from the rotating zone while
making connections. Patent pending 360 clamping
reduces slippage, tool joint wear, and pipe distortion.
Preprogrammed thread profles ensure accurate, con-
sistent make-up torques on each connection to re-
duce or eliminate associated thread damage.

XRF positive materials identification
analyzer tool tell alloy composition
This free eight-page brochure describes
and illustrates newly introduced XL,
PMI, XL PMI+ & XL PMI+ Ultra Posi-
tive Materials Identification tools.
The X-ray fluorescence instruments,
as part of GEs partnership with Thermo
Fisher Scientific, identify and analyze
in seconds various metal alloys
by their chemical composition, through
nondestructive methods.
PMI tools are emphasized for simplic-
ity, accuracy, and reliability in applica-
tions including oil and gas. With one of
the lowest levels of detection for silicon,
they are cited as ideal to predict corro-
sion in existing pipes and fitting in old refineries. A low silicon content
reading (<0.1%) of the pipes helps determine when to replace system
components before there is an accident.

Digital welding process control offered
The AdaptARC system is on the market to provide all the advantages
and benefits that digital control can introduce to the welding process.
With the new system computer control of torch to work-piece dis-
tance, oscillation, travel, wire feed, coolant recirculation, gas flow, and
weld power is intuitive. It is also easy to program, monitor, adjust,
and modify. Systems produce less smoke and spatter to reduce operator
hazards from hexavalent chrome for worker and workplace safety.
The AdaptARC permits fast and easy process change-over in minutes
as it delivers up to 100-in./min head speeds and up to 700-in./min wire
feeds for applications requiring high deposition.
Welding performance is cited to be up to 5-times faster than conven-
tional GTAW orbital designs.

iPad predictive maintenance products
VibePro predictive maintenance products are newly developed specif-
ically for the iPad. They are announced as solutions for vibration analy-
sis, dynamic balancing, infrared thermography, and shaft laser alignment
on a single device.
This developer of the iPad Vibration Analyzer declares using iPad as
its product platform offers predictive technology at about one-fourth the
cost of comparable systems. VibePros coherence all tools can work
wiht each other is highlighted by vibration analysis software. It com-
municates directly to the alignment component.
VibePro6 features include route data collection, on-site vibration anal-
ysis, correlation between vibration readings and alignment condition,
instant emails for reports, transmissibility measurement, plus machine
verification and acceptable reports for motors, pumps, fans, and spindles.

Compressors recover fuel gas,
condense hydrocarbons to meet regs
Meet stringent environmental legislation which prohibit flaring of waste
gas: HP & NAB Flare Gas Recovery Compressors. In refining they re-
cover fuel gas and condense hydrocarbons.
Nash liquid ring systems run cool plus clean gas as they compress it.
This eliminates the need for downstream aftercoolers and scrubbers in
refinery pressures up to 215 psia / 14.8 bar. Rugged design and construc-
tion make HP and NAB tolerant to carryover from process upsets.
