Safety Standards Seminar to Cover NPFA 86 A review of the requirements in NFPA 86, 2007 Edition, Standard for Ovens and Furnaces, is the focus of a safety standards seminar set for May. Scheduled for May 5-6 the Hilton Indianapolis in downtown Indianapolis, the
18th Annual Safety Standards & Codes Seminar will be hosted by Cincinnati-based
Industrial Heating Equipment Association.
The seminar will address:
Oven and furnace location and construction.
Oven and furnace heating systems.
Commissioning, operations, maintenance, inspection and testing.
Safety equipment and applications, including programmable logic systems, burner management systems, safety controls and devices, and safety shutoff valves.
Thermal oxidizers.
Class A (flammable volatiles or combustible materials) ovens and furnaces.
Class B (no flammable volatiles or combustible materials) ovens and furnaces.
Class C (special atmospheres) ovens and furnaces.
Class D (vacuum) ovens and furnaces.
Loss prevention.
Product liability.
Typical process applications.
IHEA's Safety Standards and Codes Committee chairman, Ted Jablkowski of North American Mfg. Co., says, "IHEA's Safety Standards and Codes Seminar is an excellent forum for the review and discussion of the NFPA 86 Standard. Most presenters are members of the NFPA 86 Technical Committee. [In addition,] two new speakers will be joining the program this year: Rich Gallagher, chair of the Technical Committee and Tom George, chair of the Class A Task Group."
The registration fee for the two-day event, which will include a copy of NFPA 86, 2007 ediiton, is $700 for IHEA members and $750 for non-members. The Hilton is extending a special guest room rate of $129 for those making reservations prior to April 4. To register, visit the secure registration form on IHEA's web site or call (513) 231-5613 to request a printed brochure.

Infrared Camera ThermaCam T360 has the Fusion! feature, which the company asserts simplifies identification and interpretation of infrared images. The feature allows users to overlay the thermal directly over the corresponding visible image, providing both the infrared and visual images in real time. The overlay function can be adjusted to suit applications such as mechanical inspections, electrical surveys and diagnostic evaluations.
Solid-State Relays With UL certification for short-circuit current ratings (SCCR), solid-state relays are intended to facilitate an industrial control panel builder’s efforts to comply with the Article 409 from NEC and the latest version of UL 508A by providing them with preapproved ratings for SSR/fuse combination. The approved ratings allow panel builders to establish the SCCR for the branch circuit where the relay is located without performing additional testing.
Dry-Heat Sterilizer Steri-Dry models range from 110 to 234 ft3
. Each dry-heat sterilizer is made with a heavy-duty, fully welded, structural steel frame and includes a plate steel floor. The exterior is constructed of 304L stainless steel with a No. 4 polish to withstand frequent washdowns. All interior surfaces are continuously welded 316L stainless steel. The direct-drive circulation system provides a maximum temperature of 340°F (171°C).
Flowmeter Selection Tool With on-demand search capability based on fluid, industry and application, the Online Flowmeter Selection Tool helps process and plant engineers identify the flow measurement technology best suited to their specific needs. Available on the company’s web site, the tool provides information related to the company’s flowmeters for liquid, gas and steam fluid processes.
Infrared Thermometer Suitable for a range of process applications, Raytek XR combines features such as multiple extended temperature ranges, precision temperature resolution, RS485 outputs and a versatile electronic platform. The infrared thermometer is said to optimize continuous temperature monitoring.
Gas-Ignition Controls Third-party agency approvals such as the Australian Gas Association, the Canadian Gas Association and CE to standard EN 298:2003 have been achieved for the 35-6X Series of 24 V gas-ignition controls. The product line also is recognized under the UL component program, UL 372. With these approvals, the controls can be integrated into gas-fired equipment such as boilers, infrared heaters, and furnaces for installation in North America, Europe and Australia. The series includes a direct-spark ignition control, a direct-spark ignition control with combustion blower relay, and an intermittent pilot/spark-to-pilot control.
