KOBOLD, represented locally by
Instrotech
, has on offer an extensive
range of diaphragm seals specifically for such purposes.They
are tailor-made to meet industrial requirements, and are
available with all industry-standard connection types
and fit perfectly with Kobold pressure gauges. In each
case, an appropriate solution can be chosen from a
wide range of designs, shapes and materials.
KOBOLD diaphragm seals allow measurements
to be taken even with aggressive, highly viscous,
solidifying or crystallising process media. They also
protect the measuring devices against high temperature
and pressure fluctuations, pressure peaks or vibrations.
Depending on the design, they can be used for
measurements at process temperatures of up to 350°C
and 1 600 bar. The use of diaphragm seals is also rec-
ommended where there are special hygiene requirements and
where specific media-appropriate materials are required. Kobold’s
specifically-engineered and practice-oriented diaphragm seal
system components, make ‘dead-zone-free’ assembly an easily
achievable goal. As the capillary tubes can be several meters long,
the measuring devices can now be placed at a safer distance from
harsh industrial environments.
Typical applications are in media enriched with solids, crystal-
lising/ polymerising/ HMh viscosity/ corrosive/ toxic and environ-
mentally hazardous measured media, as well as very low or high
measured temperature media; hygienic requirements for the food
and pharmaceutical sector and batch changing without product
residues in the measuring system.

The latest suspensions can be ordered pre-fitted on any MSAV-Gard
helmet, or as spares. “We have made it painless for our customers
to standardise on these new suspensions as there is no change in
part numbers for complete helmet assemblies. MSA Fas-Trac III is
the answer to all of your safety-helmet requirements,” Suraksha
Mohun, Product Marketing Manager,
MSA Africa
, comments.
In addition, two different sweatband options are available, de-
pending on application or preference. These are PVC perforated
wipeable or sweat-wicking replaceable foam, which is machine
washable. The foam sweatband is
made from breathable fabric for
direct air permeation. MSA Fas-Trac
III boasts the largest sweatband
surface area on any safety hel-
met, which improves perspiration
absorption by covering more of
the headband and the wearer’s
forehead.
“Extensive customer research
has revealed that the MSA Fas-Trac
III wheel-ratchet suspension is preferred by most users over what
they are currently wearing,” Mohun comments. This is due to the
main benefits of improved helmet comfort, retention, and stability,
with the added advantage of easy single-handed adjustment. MSA
Fas-Trac III suspensions are available for allV-Gard industrial safety
helmets fromMSAAfrica.The premiumMSA Fas-Trac III suspension
also comes with a lower nape strap than any other protection helmet
suspension, which improves balance and means that the safety
helmet stays on when the wearer leans over. Separating the ratchet
from the neck also allows the comfort pad to cradle the wearer’s
head, increasing air flow.
