HATFIELD, Pa. (March 15, 2019) - Eric Pipal has been promoted to Vice President and General Manager at Brooks Instrument, a world leader in advanced flow, pressure, vacuum and vapor delivery solutions.
Pipal originally joined Brooks Instrument as an Operations Director in 2007. Since then, he's held positions of increasing responsibility within the operations department prior to taking a customer-facing role as manager of the industrial business unit in 2015.
"Eric has a strong leadership record, and we are confident he will lead the Brooks Instrument team to continued positive results in the future," said Sharon Szafranski, Group President at ITW, which owns Brooks Instrument as part of its test & measurement business unit.
He holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Penn State University along with an MBA in finance from Saint Joseph's University.
"I look forward to working with the Brooks Instrument team and our customers in this new capacity," Pipal said. "Brooks Instrument has a strong history of great people and a deep understanding of customer applications, coupled with a foundation of reliable, high-quality products upon which we can build. I'm especially excited about several key products we're launching this year for biotech and semiconductor manufacturing, including new mass flow controllers equipped with EtherNet/IP™ and other features for bioprocessing, as well as new pressure-based mass flow controllers for semiconductor processing. Besides our ongoing support for the industrial markets, the biotech and semiconductor segments are important product development areas for Brooks Instrument."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
