Accurate machine adjustment is an essential element of any alignment process. Lawton Precut Shims, available from Ludeca, eliminate material waste, time consuming hand-cutting, de-burring and for heavy gauge shims the need for torch cutting and machining. Shims are made of stainless steel 304 full hard material protected against rust and deformation. Different shim sizes fit motors and generators over 1,000 HP. All shims are marked with thickness and size to facilitate identification and re-use. Ludeca Inc., Doral, FL, 305-591-8935, www.ludeca.com/shims
Gauges
Ashcroft® Plus!™ Performance pressure gauges eliminate pointer flutter in the presence of pump pulsation and high vibration. As a lower priced alternative to liquid-filled gauges, this smartly engineered internal feature also inhibits movement wear which greatly extends the life of the gauge. The Plus! performance option is available on a variety of the company’s pressure gauges, in a broad choice of service-types, sizes and configurations. Ashcroft, 800-328-8258, www.ashcroft.com
Flow meter
Sierra Instruments has introduced the next generation Innova-Sonic® 210i, an updated universal transit-time flow meter for liquid flow measurement applications.

The valves feature a full port design and are available with FPM or EPDM seals and reversible PTFE seats. The valves have a heavy wall thermoplastic construction that stands up to the most aggressive of applications. Hayward Flow Control, 888-429-4635, www.haywardflowcontrol.com
Water well screens
Rod base water well screens from Delta Screens are fully tested to meet or exceed the ISO 17824 standard for burst and collapse, and engineered to withstand the rigorous working conditions of downhole operations. The screens are available in 304 or 316 stainless steel and diameters ranging from 1 1/4” to 20”. Offering precision manufacturing and welding processes, Delta is ISO 2001 compliant and provides complete QA documentation, manufacturing traceability reports, and in-process inspection reports immediately upon completion. Delta Screens, Houston, TX, 713-856-0300, www.deltascreens.com
Portable pumps
The new Thompson Pump Compact pump series is 35% smaller and 20% lighter than the company’s JSC series. Available in the most common diesel-drive portable pump sizes of 4” and 6”, the Compact series offers an economical alternative to similar sized portable pumps – a significant savings compared to standard 4” and 6” compressor-assisted pumps. Reliability is increased by the removal of several redundant parts that are no longer needed with the latest diesel engines. Thompson Pump, Port Orange, FL, 800-767-7310, www.thompsonpump.com
Fluorometer
Walchem has added Turner Designs’ Little Dipper to its product line. The single channel, light industrial fluorometer installs directly into process streams. It provides an analog signal output proportional to the concentration of the fluorophore being measured. The meter is a rugged, 24/7 sampling device that requires minimal maintenance. It can be used with data collection systems such as the WebMasterONE to monitor and control the level of treatment chemicals for cooling tower and boiler applications.
