certifications and service demands. With
that in mind, coatings and corrosion engi-
neering group KTA-Tator, Inc. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania) is offering a free program
to help manage this responsibility. "We
understand how tedious it is for inspec-
tors, industrial painters, manufacturers,
and facility owners to track the status of
their inspection equipment, so we're
taking on that burden for them," says
Matthew Fajt, vice president and instru-
ment sales manager at KTA. "Whether the
equipment inventory consists of one
gauge or 1,000, we are assisting our cus-
tomers in handling this important task."
To enroll in this program, users do not
need to have purchased equipment
through KTA. Tel: +1 412-788-1300,

Updated Analyzers Include
New Spectrometer
Spectro Scientific (Chelmsford, Massa-
chusetts), a global supplier of oil, fuel, and
processed water analysis instrumentation
and software, introduced the eighth ver-
sion of its SpectrOil series analyzers. New
capabilities are included in both the
SpectrOil 100 and SpectrOil M models for
the elemental analysis of oil, fuel, coolant,
and water. The technolog y measures trace
quantities of elements dissolved or sus-
pended as fine particles in natural or syn-
thetic petroleum-based products. The ver-
sion offers both stability improvements
and an enhanced user experience, while
new signal processing methods improve
short- and long-term stability. A fully inte-
grated standardization procedure facili-
tates calibration and standardization,
resulting in easier, faster operations.
Meanwhile, an improved background
measurement method enables lower lim-
its of detection in field applications and
includes temperature and background
measurement corrections that eliminate
restandardization. Signal processing is
improved for field applications involving
trace elements. Tel: +1 978-431-1120, web
