These systems are inherently designed and installed to detect, control, and extinguish fires should they break out; they ultimately play an invaluable role in protecting life, minimising damage, and preserving building stability.

Sensors are sophisticated devices that are frequently used to detect and respond to signals. A new wireless sensor developed by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can measure skin hydration.

For those outside the world of engineering, the term solenoid valve may fall on deaf ears. However, if you’re responsible for upholding a building’s water system stability and safety, particularly in commercial or industrial infrastructure, you may have come across them before.

Fire sprinkler systems are an essential component of fire safety in industrial facilities. It might be the case that your premises house large amounts of hazardous materials and heavy machinery, making them particularly vulnerable to fires.

Bonfire night is just around the corner, but with many of the public events cancelled this year because of the pandemic, there’s a risk that more people will put on their own private firework displays instead.

Explosion proof pressure transducer designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions

The Gems 31EP/EA and 32EP/EA Series now available from Applications Engineering Ltd, a family of heavy duty explosion proof pressure transducers, were expressly designed to withstand the extreme environmental and pressure conditions common to oil and gas applications.

Since the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in June last year, the spotlight has been on fire sprinklers and their effectiveness more than ever before. You will know from many of our recent blog posts that we are ardent supporters of fire sprinklers and believe vehemently in their effectiveness at limiting the damage caused by any fire.

The paper manufacturing industry is one of many that relies heavily on precise liquid measurement and management throughout every production stage.

From the initial stages of wood chip processing to the final coating phases, accurate monitoring of liquid levels and flow rates is vital for preserving product quality, keeping production processes efficient, and preventing costly disruptions or malfunctions.

Fire sprinkler systems are a vital lifesaving component of any commercial and industrial building in the UK. The importance of using high-quality products in their installation and servicing goes without saying, not least to ensure they stay compliant and resilient in the face of danger.

A fire sprinkler system has prevented another potential Grenfell-like disaster taking place in Croydon, saving the lives of hundreds of tenants.

Sprinkler Save

Back in mid-December, during the lead up to Christmas, a fire broke out in the kitchen of a flat in The Waldrons area of Croydon.

Pressure switches are a part of our lives, but many people might not even know they exist. They are vital pieces of equipment to ensure the things we rely on work, like smartphones, aeroplanes, irrigation systems and energy systems.
