Solinst Mini Oil/Water Interface Meters give clear and accurate measurements of product level and thickness in wells and tanks. Determination of both light (floating) non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) and dense (sinking) non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) is quick and easy.
The Model 122M Mini Interface Meter with PVDF laser marked cable is a convenient small version, which can easily to fit in a backpack, or an optional custom mini carry case. It uses narrow laser marked PVDF cable, in 80 ft or 25m lengths. The Mini Interface Meter enhanced electronics include automatic circuitry testing; 300 hours of on-time battery life; clear signals; and high accuracy. The circuits are powered by one standard 9V battery housed in easy-access drawer in the faceplate.
The 122M uses the P8 Probe, which is 5/8" in diameter (16mm) and stainless steel construction. It is pressure proof up to 500 psi. The beam is emitted from within a Hydex cone-shaped tip. The tip is protected by an integral stainless steel shield, and is excellent for the vast majority of product monitoring situations. The 0.12" (3mm) coaxial cable has a durable PVDF jacket with permanent laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter. The cable has a braided copper outer conductor, a stranded stainless steel central conductor, and a smooth chemical-resistant surface that is easy to decontaminate.
No, the Solinst 122M mini interface meter does not come with a carrying case. While this meter is small enough in a backpack, an optional custom carrying case is available under the Accessories Tab.
Yes, the Model 122M mini interface meter has been approved by QPS for use in hazardous locations, Class I, Div 1, Groups C&D based on CSA Standards. It is also ATEX certified under directive 94/9/EC, as II 3 G Ex ic IIB T4 Gc. This meter comes with a ground cable to protect the user and the electronics in potentially explosive environments.

Charles River Algal Blooms Stop Swimming and Launch a Floating Wetland
The Charles River used to be a swimming hotspot for Cambridge and Boston residents. 
 
 Decades of industrial pollution and nutrient runoff have degraded water quality and eliminated public swimming in the Lower Charles, but a movement is afoot to get Boston and Cambridge back in the water. One step toward the goal of a safely swimmable river—without the need to obtain a permit, as is now necessary—is detecting and managing the harmful algal blooms that appear on the river. 
 
 An experimental floating wetland and new research and analysis of water quality data that shows a possible effective detection system for algal blooms on the Charles River are two new steps toward the goal of safe, accessible swimming.
Read MoreHarnessing the Gulf Stream for Renewable Energy
The Gulf Stream, the massive western boundary current off the east coast of North America, moves water from the Gulf of Mexico north and west across the Atlantic Ocean. There’s a lot of energy in that much moving water and researchers are trying to put it to use. 
 
 Although the Gulf Stream’s path shifts (researchers say it acts like a wiggling garden hose), in a couple of spots, it stays relatively stable. At one such spot off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, researchers have dropped moorings and research instruments to study the current with the eventual goal of harnessing it for renewable energy.
Read MoreBuoys in the time of Covid: Delays to important information
In early 2020, Michigan found itself facing one of the worst outbreaks of Covid-19 in the country. Though it’s close to second nature now, businesses, schools and governments were suddenly forced to conduct business without close contact. Universities and research institutions had to pause some scientific research. Whatever was able to continue slowed to a crawl. 
 
 Around the Great Lakes, a network of buoys monitors dozens of water quality parameters and lake conditions, reporting them in real time. This year, the monitoring season was cut a bit short as Covid-19 restrictions hit in the weeks before buoys were set to be deployed.
