CFCM CCAI Logo 2022 400The Chemical Coaters Association International offers a variety of training classes for the industrial finishing industry. This year the association adds valuable content to the calendar with its Industrial Finishing Safety Seminar. This one-and-a-half-day seminar was developed by industry experts well-versed in safety for finishing operations. To be held April 5 & 6, 2022, in Elgin, IL, the seminar will focus on NFPA 33, the Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials. Attendees will learn critical information on safely operating an industrial finishing line.

Seminar presenter and finishing consultant Rich Saddler remarks, “NFPA 33 provides the foundation for designing, building, and operating a finishing system which is safe and effective. This class will cover the entire standard and allow participants to understand the details and ask questions.” This workshop covers general safety requirements & construction/design, electrical and electrostatic spray equipment, ventilation, storage handling and distribution, fire protection, operations, maintenance and training, drying and curing, powder coating and an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) panel. Attendees will also benefit from the opportunity to connect with professionals in industrial finishing safety.

This workshop is ideal for paint manufacturing engineers, lead painters, paint maintenance leads, maintenance engineers, maintenance personnel, staff engineers, environmental engineers (industrial health & safety), finishing equipment designers, system engineers, controls engineers, project engineers, and facility managers.

CFCM slingpsychrometer 400Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.

As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.

The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
