Products SAFER SPRINKLERS Victaulic’s FireLock IGS Style V9 Sprinkler Coupling and Grooved Sprinklers have not only eased the manner and speed in which fire protection systems are installed but offer increased job site safety and system confidence. A single bolt makes up the joining of the innovative coupling design, which in turn is fitted onto sprinklers with a connection size of 12.7mm, 19.05mm or 25.4mm, and transitions to 25.4mm allowing for the standardisation of 25.4mm IGS outlets making the project easier to plan, design and weld. The simplification of the coupling leads to simplified installation, which increases not only on-site job safety, bit allows for ease of maintenance in the future.

EASY FLOWS Instrotech is offering Kobold’s VKP plastic flowmeters that operate on a special suspended float principle with cylindrical measuring tube and spring-loaded float with orifice. The float in model VKP-3 has slots mounded onto the outside, which protect the instrument from soiling by capturing dirt particles. The danger of the float jamming is thus considerably reduced and soiled liquids with a particle size up to 400m can be measured without difficulty. In model VKP-2, the sharp-edged orifice in the float renders the instrument less sensitive to changes in viscosity. The model VKP finds application in lubricant circuits, domestic electrical, installations, machine tools, solar energy systems, cooling circuits, welding machines, and pumps.

Our high-performance composite material made of PP GF40 allows the operating up to -60°C ambient temperature. The material property doesn’t change appreciable between -40°C and -60°C. Generally, the approval applies for the mentioned component. The complete fan (and article) must fulfil the application rules according the technical document, L-AH-0044. With ZAplus we are able to offer a complete fan system without the expensive motor suspension or casing made of stainless steel. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 974 4211.
