The direct insert style liquid flow sensor with a stainless steel/PPS plastic tip combines advanced flow sensing technology with a built-in transmitter, providing an all-in-one solution for accurate flow measurement. This device is suitable for pipes ranging from 1-1/2 inches to over 36 inches and is designed for direct installation through a 1-inch NPT port.
In hot tap installations, the sensor is mounted under pressure using a service saddle or weld-on fitting. It is then connected to an isolation valve and carefully inserted into the pipeline to measure flow without interrupting operations. Hot tap installations are commonly used in retrofit projects, but they are also valuable in new construction for easier maintenance and long-term service flexibility. This ensures continuous monitoring, reduced downtime, and improved system efficiency.
While bacterial and viral infections are both highly common, each carries its own set of mild to severe health risks. To effectively reduce the risk of exposure in your facility, it is important to understand the key differences between bacteria and viruses.
This guide from ServiceMaster Clean explains what bacterial and viral infections are, the potential dangers they pose, and how they spread in different environments. It also highlights practical cleaning and disinfection practices that can significantly reduce contamination risks, improve hygiene standards, and help maintain a safer and healthier environment for employees, customers, and visitors.
Viral infections are smaller than bacteria and require a living host to survive and multiply. Like bacterial infections, some viral infections are harmless, while others can cause serious health complications depending on the type and strength of the virus.
Viral infections are typically caused by various sources such as direct contact with infected individuals, contaminated surfaces, airborne droplets, or exposure to contaminated food and water. They can spread quickly in crowded or poorly sanitized environments, making proper hygiene, regular cleaning, and preventive measures essential to reduce the risk of transmission and protect overall health.
