Todol Products, Inc.
Urethane Foam Sealant
A two-part polyurethane foam sealant that comes in a can and features a long dispensing tube that reaches deep inside conduits and holes is being introduced by Todol Products, Inc. of Natick, Mass. Todol Duo-Fill 400 Two-Part Urethane Foam Sealant is designed for plugging and sealing applications where rapid expansion and fast curing are required to quickly stop flowing water. Packaged in a “can-inside-a-can” for field use, this expanding closed-cell foam sealant mixes directly in the actuator head of the rigid 9-inch L dispensing tube. The sealant adheres well to most construction materials and offers multiple starts and closures. The 13 oz. two-part can-inside-a-can dynamically expands to 3.5 gals of foam sealant.

Electro-Chemical Devices
Free Chlorine Analyzer
Municipal water system and industrial process engineers will find the FCA-22 Analyzer system precisely measures free residual chlorine while also offering a low cost-of-ownership. It is designed to monitor free chlorine in drinking water, rinse water, cooling water, and other fresh water samples from 0.05 to 20.0 ppm Cl
2, 5 to 9 pH, and at temperatures from 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C). The device also features a long-lasting sensor that minimizes part replacement and technician labor expenses. The unit's constant head flow control device maintains the optimum water flow past the sensor over a wide range of incoming sample flow rates from 10 to 80 gallons per hour. The Cl
2 sensor’s polarographic, gold/silver PFTE membrane construction extends sensor life to reduce operational costs.
Schneider Electric
TeSys® D Contactors
Schneider Electric of Palatine, Ill., has introduced the latest additions to its range of motor control products with TeSys® D 40A, 50A and 65A contactors featuring Everlink® termination technology.
“Schneider Electric’s Everlink technology is exclusive to TeSys D 40A, 50A and 65A contactors and TeSys GV3P 40A and 65A manual motor protectors,” said Tim Roberts, Schneider Electric staff product specialist.
Everlink termination technology saves time by providing a direct connection to TeSys D overload relays and TeSys GV3P manual motor protectors without requiring an interconnect block. Everlink technology also reduces wiring errors with direct connections. Spring termination technology moves with the wire as it relaxes over time to reduce the need to retighten.

VICI Metronics Inc.
Model 150 Dynacalibrator®
VICI Metronics’ Dynacalibrator® Model 150 is a constant temperature system designed to generate precise ppm or ppb concentrations of chemical compounds in a gas stream, using permeation devices as the trace gas source. It is used as a reference for the calibration of gas chromatography instruments and in other instruments that measure gas concentrations.
A passivated Inertium® coated stainless steel permeation chamber houses the permeation device(s), with measured inert carrier gas sweeping the calibration gas/vapor from the chamber. The digital temperature controller maintains the chamber temperature at a setpoint with an accuracy of ±0.01°C, traceable to NIST standards. Reduced flow path volume permits low concentration generation of mercury, water, and other difficult-to- work-with materials.
