> LIT ATTENDS ISA CALGARY AND FINDS NEW APPLICATIONS

 

The ISA Show in Calgary was the event to be at once again if you're in the Instrumentation business in Alberta. Traffic and activity was brisk and we met lots of current customers and some new ones. As always all of the customers were interested in the unique solutions that we provide for some of their most challenging applications. As is often the case, customers entered our booth with a puzzled expression and a question something like; Do you guys have anything that will measure…………….? Yes we do and we talked at length about that solution and agreed to exchange the details over the next week. That's trade showing what we were there for. Thanks to all who stopped by and hopefully we will see and hear more from all of you over the next year.

> GOSCO'S NEW VALVE DESIGN IS AVAILABLE NOW

 

Gosco, a leader in the Severe Service Ball Valve Market, and has improved an already phenomenal design of their ball valve with the added advantage of a removable bonnet for quick and easy service of the stem and packing without having to remove the valve from the line. The bolt-on bonnet can simply be removed with four bolts and slide off of the stem and tacking combination for replacement of any of those components. Of course this is not something that will have to be done very often unless the application is extremely severe service. Typical of Gosco though, they wanted to have the most reliable and easily serviced package available so say hello to the new Dual Pak and Vari V.

> MSR MAGMETER CONTINUES TO PENETRATE THE OIL SANDS

 

MSR Magemeter had their first installations in the utilities areas of Syncrude and Suncor some years ago. Recently they have begun to have systems installed in extraction and tailings areas of Syncrude, Suncor and Albian Sands. Albian Sands began with using the meters in Utilities and because of their successful implementation decided to recommend trying one in tailings. It worked well and continues to work. Watch for more applications in the future.
