James (Jim) J. McKinley, founder of KIN-TEK Laboratories, Inc and later President of KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc., has retired from KIN-TEK on July 31, 2017.
Jim started the Company in 1970 with the idea of developing and expanding permeation technology as a means of calibrating analytical instruments and generating test gas mixtures. Through his wide-ranging work Jim became widely known as an industry expert for solving difficult calibration problems.
Jim fostered, guided, and managed KIN-TEK as it grew to become a world leader in applying permeation technology to a wide range of calibration applications in research laboratories, environmental health and safety, petrochemical operations, quality control, and many others.
Today KIN-TEK products are sold in all industrialized countries and its customers include many fortune 500 companies, universities, and government organizations.
Jim received his bachelor and master's degrees in physics and mathematics at the University of Houston. Jim has been active in ISA and became an ISA Fellow in 2008. Jim has authored scientific articles, presented technical papers, and consulted on standards development projects including with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

New FlexStream™ Module - FlexGF Gas Feed Module
KIN-TEK Laboratories, La Marque, Texas, is proud to announce the release of a new FlexStream module - the FlexGF gas-fed oven permeation module. This module enables the FlexStream instrument to create gas standards from high vapor pressure gases such as NO, CO, O2 and others not available in liquid filled tubes.
When used in conjunction with a certified Trace Source™ Series 57 gas permeation tube (source), the FlexGF allows control of component gas pressure and purge rates while the source is maintained at constant oven temperature. Oven temperature and pressure are easily adjusted via the FlexStream front panel color touchscreen or by an external computer with Modbus communications.
This instrument was show-cased at PITTCON in Atlanta, Georgia March 11-15, 2011.

New FlexStream™ Module - FlexPM Auxiliary Permeation Oven
KIN-TEK Laboratories, La Marque, Texas is proud to announce the release of a new FlexStream module - the FlexPM oven permeation module.
The FlexPM is an independently controlled permeation tube oven designed to work in parallel with the FlexStream Base Module. The FlexPM allows concurrent operation of an additional set of permeation tubes that may operate at a different temperature from tubes in the Base.
The FlexPM can use KIN-TEK Trace Source™ disposable or refillable permeation tubes. Oven temperature is easily adjusted via the FlexStream front panel color touchscreen or by an external computer with Modbus communications. Primary dilution flow rate is provided by the upstream FlexBase module. Secondary diluiton to achieve very low concentrations can be optionally provided by a downstream FlexSD module.
The FlexPM is one of several auxiliary modules designed to work with the Base Module. Up to 5 additional modules can be used with a single Base Module to form a complete gas standards generating system.
This instrument was show-cased at PITTCON in Orlando, Florida February 28-March 5, 2010.

New FlexStream™ Module - FlexSD Secondary Dilution Module
KIN-TEK Laboratories, La Marque, Texas is proud to announce the release of a new FlexStream module - the FlexSD secondary dilution module.
The FlexSD Module is used in series with the FlexStream Base Module and any additional permeation modules to extend the range of concentrations attained from permeation tubes.
Using the full flow range of the standard Base and FlexSD modules allows a concentration range of 10,000:1 from a single permeation tube. For applications requiring fixed flow of the output mixture, the FlexSD can provide adjustable concentration over a 200:1 range.
This instrument was show-cased at PITTCON in Orlando, Florida February 28-March 5, 2010.
