Fluke Thermalert 4.0 Series Pyrometers

Fluke Process Instruments, a global leader in infrared imaging and thermal profiling solutions for industrial applications, launched the latest Thermalert 4.0 Series Pyrometers, adding intrinsically safe ATEX- and IECEx-certified models.The complete lineup of Thermalert 4.0 Series Pyrometers includes numerous integrated infrared temperature sensors with our widest selection of spectral ranges that can be used for a wide variety of process control applications.Each pyrometer conforms to Industry 4.0 standards, can withstand ambient temperatures up to 85°C (185°F) without extra cooling, combines innovative digital technology with standard two-wire installations for all setups (such as optional HART communications) and can now be ordered with ATEX and IECEx certification.With multiple communication options, this smart infrared sensor provides users with the features they need to understand temperature data and control their unique processes in a compact, integrated package that is easy to install and operate.“We’re pleased to release the latest models in our Thermalert 4.0 Series of Pyrometers,” says Dr.

SGMF advances LNG safety standards

The Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) has published two new guidelines to improve the safety of LNG-fuelled ships. The documents are intended to assist greater standardization in crew competency and vessel design.

ISO 15848-1 vs. API 624 Testing for Valves

Fugitive emission testing for valves in refining and upstream is mandatory, and stringently regulated. However, in the midstream processes the role fugitive emission standards play is vague for end users and manufacturers alike.

MiQ, Carbon Limits to Develop 1st LNG Standard

A new collaboration between two leading organizations is set to rapidly reduce damaging methane emissions from the production and transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG).The venture will see the development of a first-of-a-kind independent standard for determining the methane emissions of global LNG, providing buyers with the transparency they need to accurately assess and compare the methane emissions performance of every batch of LNG.MiQ, the independent, not-for-profit partnership between RMI and SYSTEMIQ, has already developed a world-first certification model to intensify methane abatement across the oil and gas sector, starting with upstream production.The group will now extend the MiQ Standard to the LNG supply chain through a collaboration with Carbon Limits – a diverse team of engineers, economists, and policy experts with strong expertise and extensive experience on GHG mitigation in the oil and gas sector.The move will create the first independently audited certification standard for LNG this summer, aiming to tackle the environmental impacts of methane emissions head on.
