Start with the news release
GF90 measures dangerous, variable-flow gases from
Fluid Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "The GF90 flare-gas flowmeter from Fluid Components International (FCI) solves the problem of measuring dangerous, explosive and toxic gases that often flow at varying and/or low levels.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Net's flame and gas detectors certified to SIL2 from
Net Safety Monitoring: "Exida has awarded SIL2 accreditation to Net Safety Monitoring's UV/IR flame-detection line. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SGS
- take a look at Roundtable on Russian and CIS petrochemicals
which says: "SGS has announced it will sponsor the annual roundtable entitled 'Refining and Petrochemicals in Russia and CIS Countries', which will take place in Amsterdam from 1 - 3 December 2009.".
Take a look also at the news release from Litre Meter, GOST-certified flowmeter chosen for Orlan platform,
as well as Toxic gas detector is Hart-compatible from General Monitors,
and Fieldbus Foundation certifies AT transmitters from K-Tek.
