JSP’s Press to Check™
Filters – Supreme
Compatibility with
Faceshields and Visors
Wearing face-protection equipment such as faceshields and visors is no problem
when they are used with JSP’s Press To Check™ filters on a half-mask. The
low-profile, swept-back design of the Press To Check™ filters enables excellent
visibility, allowing the filters to be worn effectively behind all types of faceshield
and welding visor.
End users are now therefore able to achieve a truly compatible half-mask solution
with their faceshields whilst also receiving the award-winning functionality benefits
of the Press To Check™ face fit check system. The unique hinging system on JSP’s
Press To Check™ filters enables the wearer to quickly determine whether a correct
face-fit has been achieved every single time they put on their half-mask before
entering a hazard area, without disturbing the fit to the face, so providing daily
face-fit reassurance. This is one of the features that led to the product winning the
BSIF Product Innovation of the Year Award in 2014.

Electrical Safety Assured
with Rittal’s
TS 8 Baying System
Safety and security are two high priorities for installers
and users of electrical switchgear. To prevent personal
injury or property damage as a result of issues such
as fault currents (short circuits), a number of industry
standards and regulations have to be followed.
To help limit this risk, Rittal has developed an effective solution with the TS 8 bayed
enclosure system. During the assembly phase, the side panels, enclosure roof,
rear panel and gland plates are automatically connected to the frame conductively.
This means potential equalisation can be achieved without necessarily having to
connect these parts with earthing straps (although the final decision as to whether
to leave earthing strips out completely is up to the user).
Automatic potential equalisation with the Rittal TS 8 baying system offers the
following benefits: • It saves mounting as many as seven earthing straps • It
simplifies the assembly and disassembly of all the panels.

enveloped in aluminium cladding. Denso Tape was used to protect anchoring bolt
threads , with Denso Void Filler used to fill the anchor head protective caps on the rear
tension support frame.
• Safe – Prokem can install level floor surfaces with anti-slip finishes and safely markings

Innovative Solution
for the Prevention of
Crevice Corrosion at
Pipe Supports
Corrosion at pipe supports is one of the leading causes of topside and
above ground piping failures, which can have potentially catastrophic
results. Traditional styles of pipe supports including beam, clamp and
saddle create crevices where water is trapped and held in constant contact
with the pipe surface. Once corrosion is initiated in these areas it can
quickly undercut the paint film, resulting in rapid wall loss generally in the
form of pitting. If these conditions are not addressed, entire sections of
pipe can fail and require replacement.
I-Rod is a durable thermoplastic, extruded and cut into a half round rod. It
is the key component in all of Deepwater’s I-Rod pipe supports.

KlenzGuard - The
Safest Delivery Possible
“Connecting Chemicals
Correctly”
Klenzan, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of hygiene
solutions is excited to launch a unique innovation in
the safe delivery of bulk chemicals – KlenzGuard.
The risks of delivering the wrong chemical into the wrong bulk tank are
well documented with severe health & safety risks associated with mixing
incompatible chemicals with the accompanying financial losses and costs.
Existing primary controls involve reliance on the delivery driver / operator
ensuring that the correct transfer pipe is connected to the correct inlet pipe introducing the risk of human error, a risk that KlenzGuard removes.
