Gas Monitoring & Detection and Other Instrumentation—Software
Product: iNet Control
Application: Managing gas detector fleets
iNet Control is a hosted software platform for managing gas detector fleets. Included
with every iNet subscription, iNet Control automatically collects and presents fleet data
for complete program visibility. Users can check the overall health of their programs with
trend data graphs, a list of items that require attention or comparisons to industry averages. If more information is needed, the user can click onto details down to the sensor-level for each gas detector. iNet Control organizes gas detector data into three categories
– alarms, maintenance and usage. Alarm event data shows users if employees are at risk
from exposure to harmful gases. Maintenance data ensures that events like calibration
and bump testing are performed as scheduled. www.indsci.com 412-788-4353

Application: Gas
regulator for
the analytical
market focused on
chromatography
Airgas has developed a
new, patented gas regulator for the analytical market in response
to chromatographers’ requests for a lighter weight, lower cost
option. The new Airgas regulator meets the quality and purity
demands of gas chromatography applications. Includes bonnets
made of a unique resin to reduce weight. A needle valve built into
the regulator body reduces internal volume and weight. The body
is crafted from solid bar stock, has a stainless steel diaphragm, an
encapsulated seat, and is all nickel plated. The new regulator can
also be purchased with a check-valve cylinder connection to prevent contaminants from entering the gas stream during cylinder
change out. Visit www.airgas.com and click on “Locator” to the
