The Ford Uni-Flange® 1500R pipe restraint is rated to 150 psi for UL and 200 psi for FM. The UFR1500R is the rapid installation addition to the 1500 line of restraints. It requires fewer bolts to complete an installation. The restraint features specially designed ring segments that provide positive thrust restraint. The segments are activated by Auto-Tork bolts with heads that twist off at the required torque offering a visual indicator of correct installation. A safety stop is built into the bolt and gland casting, ensuring the bolts can never be over tightened.

Water level meter
Solinst Canada is offering a new version of the Model 101 Water Level Meter featuring the company’s recently developed laser marked flat tape and a submersible probe. The flat tape is made of durable PVDF with laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter, certified traceable to National Standards. The thick dog bone design prevents adherence to wet surfaces. The tape also has increased abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and electrical efficiency with the use of six strands of copper coated stainless steel and 13 strands of stainless steel in each conductor.

Remediation
Solvay Chemicals has signed a contract with Carus Corp. to market a new soil and groundwater remediation technology that uses Solvay’s IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide. The new Drillox Technology has proven to be very powerful at the in-situ degradation of contaminants. The basis of the patent pending technology is the slow release of hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of a suitable catalyst, this property can be used to perform Modified Fenton’s chemistry. The technology can be implemented either by the traditional direct push method, or through injection wells already used for remediation.
