Lincoln Electric
The Lincoln Electric Company has enhanced its Vantage® 500 engine-driven welder with a new model in a compact case. Now, at the same dimensions as the Vantage® 300 and 400 models, the Vantage 500 Perkins® is described as ideally sized for truck beds where available space and weight capacity are limited. The new model is designed to handle the most demanding construction, pipeline, rental fleet or repair applications. All Vantage 500 models feature a standard stainless steel roof and side panels for reduced maintenance and corrosion-resistance as well as simple controls to minimize training time. The Vantage 500 Perkins is powered by an environmentally friendly, four-cylinder, 1,800-RPM Perkins turbo-charged diesel engine. Bulletin E6.214, 888-355-3213, www.lincolnelectric.com.

Polyguard Products

Polyguard™ points to its non-shielding pipe coating RD-6. The company says that RD-6 coating systems have been used by major operators since 1988 and, to the knowledge of Polyguard, there has never been a case of serious corrosion found under RD-6. The company says it believes the shielding problem has been largely ignored worldwide. Polyguard says it has been ISO 9000-certified since 1996 with current certificates: American National Standards Institute, Dutch Council for Certification and Deutscher Akkreditierungs Rat. 214-515-5000, www.polyguardproducts.com.

R&M Energy Systems
NOT FOUND: R&M Sentry with one piece Closure_Seal.jpg
R&M Energy Systems offers its latest, most technically advanced solution for pipeline and vessel closures. Marketed under the SENTRY® brand name, this non-threaded, internal door closure features an innovative one-piece seal. The seal’s features include: 1) molded in all sizes with no vulcanized splices; 2) available in FKM (Viton), EDR FKM (Viton) or HNBR low temperature materials; 3) installation of the one-piece replacement seal is quicker and easier than ever resulting in reduced maintenance time; and 4) anti-extrusion spring molded into the seal. All pressure-retaining components on the SENTRY closure are manufactured from ASME SA designated materials. An improved hinge arrangement and a unique means of holding the locking segments in the open position, make operation of the closure smooth and easy. The innovative method of securing the closure’s locking components to the door helps prevent the possibility of injury during pipeline or vessel servicing. 936-890-1064, 403-264-2995, fmg.marketing@robn.com.
