    ***E-Z Form Hose Provides Maximum Flexibility for Tight-Bend Applications***
    WICKLIFFE, OH: E-Z Form Hose provides extreme flexibility while retaining full-flow performance. This hose can be used where formed hoses were required because conventional industrial hose products were not able to bend tightly enough without kinking. Users of equipment with existing formed-hose installations benefit because formed hose can be easily replaced with lower-cost, readily available E-Z Form Hose. Two versions of the new hose are available, featuring constructions that are suitable for use with oil-based fluids as well as water-based fluids. Sizes range from 1/2- inch to 4-inch inside diameter. Standard hose length is 25-feet, however lengths up to 130-feet are available. Both versions of the hose are rated to 75 psi maximum recommended working pressure as well as for full vacuum (or suction) applications. ---Parker Hannifin Corp., Hose Products Div.
    ***Light Series of Hose & Tubing Clamps***
    WALDWICK, NJ: New line of lightweight compact-designed clamps is designed for hanging pipe, hose, cable and tubing. Type LBBU clamp bodies are made from a lightweight thermoplastic elastomer (87 Shore-A) that aids in vibration and noise reduction. The clamps offer quick, easy installation and are perfect for applications in which space is limited and noise must be kept to a minimum (Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Mechanical & Plant Engineering and Instrumentation). LBBU clamps are also UV, Ozone and weather resistant. Both single and double line clamp styles are available with sizes ranging from 6mm to 18mm diameter. ---Stauff Corp.
    ***Process Alarm Messaging Software***
    EAST ROCHESTER, NY: Exele TopView(R) software can monitor thousands of process measurements from instruments and devices throughout a plant. When a problem occurs, the software immediately delivers a customizable alarm message to an escalating queue of appropriate personnel without the need for control room intervention. It works seamlessly with most SCADA, PLC, and historian set-ups. User-designated alarms can be delivered as emails, cell phone messages, pager notices, text-to-speech voice annunciation, audible alarms over speakers, and text messages. Users can create custom messages for each tag point, so personnel can receive a detailed description of the problem as well as its exact location. Also, remote access and acknowledge communication is supported through dial-in phone, PC, and Windows Mobile devices, so personnel can easily interrogate the status of a specific measurement at any time from any location. Installation, set-up, and start-up of the software are fast and easy. In addition to providing alarms on current tag values, it can send alarms based on calculations and operations. ---Exele Information Systems, Inc.
