13 February, 2014Australian Pump Industries has developed a complete range of hydrostatic test equipment designed for testing underground and surface-mounted pipelines.
Monitoring rainwater with Talking Tanks
03 February, 2014It may sound like something out of a science fiction film - innovative artificial intelligence that interprets data and takes action - but through an industry-led project, Australia has opened the floodgates to intelligent rainwater tank systems.
Weka visual level indicators
31 January, 2014Control Components locally builds magnetic level gauges in Australia under licence to Weka. Typically used in place of a sight glass to provide a visual indication of the liquid level in a tank, the process liquid never comes into contact with the brightly coloured indication flags, so tank levels can be read for years without needing any further maintenance.
