3 PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS FOR VAPOR RECOVERY APPLICATIONS As EPA regulations to reduce the emissions produced by the disposal of saltwater and other caustic by-products of oil and gas production become more stringent, reliable low pressure measurement has become even more critical. Vapor Recovery Units are designed to comply with these EPA standards, provide the producer with additional profi ts that may be lost due to stock tank vapor emissions, and eliminate stock tank vapor emission into the atmosphere. Recovered vapors have a signifi cantly higher BTU content than natural gas from the pipeline, therefore recovered vapors can be more valuable than methane alone. Vapory Recovery Units, along with salt water disposal systems and storage tanks, require precise pressure measurement to ensure optimal control and monitoring, and maximize recovered emissions and profi t to the producer. NOSHOK 625/626 Series Intrinsically Safe Pressure Transmitters offer low pressure ranges that are ideal for vapor recovery control, salt water disposal control systems, tank vent monitoring systems and liquid level monitoring in shallow tanks. NOSHOK 625/626 Series Intrinsically Safe Pressure Transmitters are Factory Mutual & CSA complaint for Class I, II and III Div. 1, Class II and III Div. 2, and Class 1 Zone 0. These transmitters provide an accuracy to ±0.125% Full Scale (BFSL), and offer low pressure ranges including: -4 oz/in 2 to 12 oz/in 2 0 oz/in 2 to 12 oz/in 2 0 oz/in 2 to 16 oz/in 2 0 inh 2 0, to 50 inh inh 2 0, to 100 inh 2 0 Standard ranges are from vacuum to 15,000 psi, and absolute ranges are also available. NOSHOK 625/626 Series transmitters are available with a standard threaded connection as well as a fl ush diaphragm confi guration, and are constructed with welded 316 stainless steel with no internal o-rings, gaskets or seals. NOSHOK 625/626 Series transmitters are entity approved for use with all approved Zener barriers where required. on 625/626 Series Intrinsically Safe Pressure Transmitter

4 Major Upgrade In The Works For 2015 As part of our ongoing commitment to continually improve customer satisfaction, NOSHOK is embarking upon an exciting ERP upgrade with the implementation of Epicor 10, scheduled to launch in fourth quarter Epicor 10 is Epicor s fl agship Enterprise Resource Planning application for middle market companies. This software provides numerous strategic solutions to enhance our customer partnerships, drive growth, and increase collaboration. Epicor 10 will also enhance effi ciency and accuracy, enabling us to provide even higher levels of service and performance for all of our stakeholders. 10 We will be working hard to ensure that our focus is on a streamlined and seamless transition. NOSHOK will continue to provide the highest standards of service, support and value throughout this process. New CNC Machine NOSHOK is excited to announce that we have added a new Leadwell V20iT 5 axis, 40 tool CNC machining center to our expanding equipment inventory. The V20it machining center is purpose-built to facilitate multi-surface machining in one chuck to reduce set up and fi xture making, thus avoiding accumulative error from series machining procedures, while maintaining speed, accuracy and effi ciency. The Leadwell will also provide increased confi guration fl exibility, while eliminating wasted down time in the manufacturing process. This new machine greatly increases our capabilities and capacity, enhancing our ability to provide the highest level of value.

Before it was presented to NOSHOK by Major Jeremy Dobos, this American fl ag was fl own on September 11, 2012 at the 109th Military Intelligence Battalion Headquarters at Bagram Airfi eld in Afghanistan. Major Dobos, a former NOSHOK employee, is an 18 year United States Army veteran and has served as a military intelligence offi cer with tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq and is the recipient of three bronze stars. From left to right, NOSHOK s veterans are Robert Manjura, Sergeant, United States Air Force and Ohio Air National Guard ; Robert Samay, Senior Airman, United States Air Force , Desert Storm veteran; and Jason Reust, Sergeant, United States Marine Corps Click to enlarge

5 Q: How does temperature affect the accuracy of a pressure gauge? A: Temperature changes affect the stiffness of a Bourdon tube. The stiffness change is produced by a combination of changes in the elastic (Young s) modulus and a change in linear dimensions due to linear expansion and contraction. The error caused by temperature change will follow the approximate formula: ± 0.04 x (t2 t) % of the span.

NOSHOK s 800 series temperature transmitter is being used to monitor engine temperature on these vessels. There are fi ve engines per vessel and they are reworking 32 vessels total. The photo below is of LCU 1643, the fi rst one being completed. The transducers will help the Navy monitor their system with better accuracy, as they currently have the old style temp switch which only sends a signal to the board when they are in an overheat condition which is too late. With the new set up we can let them know before they get too hot. The temperature transducers will also help them with troubleshooting why a system is getting too hot since they can watch systems update the temp as they run different functions and horsepower ranges on the vessels. The temperature transducers will be on the main engines, Bow Ramp system, Skagit winch control system, which also controls the A frame set up for the Render or anchoring system they use with these style boats as well as the generators engines on board. This is a big win for AFP Industries since it will be spec d in on all these boats and it will be business that will pay dividends for years to come. Thanks for your help on these and I will be on the lookout for more applications for NOSHOK products. Roy Creely AFP Industries YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT TO US!
