Number six on this magazine’s list of twelve tips for clearer technical writing is “When writing about concepts that are new, unfamiliar or abstract, try to include examples.” This principle, as articulated in an informative article by former CE Editor-in-Chief…
Electrochemical Devices S10 and S17 Sulfide Analytical Sensors (photo) provide accurate, reliable analysis of sulfide levels in water-treatment, sewage and wastewater-treatment applications. The S10 Sensor is an immersion- or insertion-style sensor, while the S17 is a valve-retractable-style sensor. Both feature…
iKey The DT-102-SS industrial keyboard (photo) is constructed of stainless steel and is specially designed to withstand the rigors of industrial processing areas. The DT-102-SS meets NEMA 4X and IP68 specifications, and can withstand rain, snow, splashing water and…
The simulator allows users to experience the benefits of ultrasonic gas leak detectors for quick leak detection in challenging conditions found in most outdoor oil-and-gas installations. The system responds to the distinctive ultrasound created by the leak. The detectors pick…
The RNS and RWS Series flowmeters are designed to measure non-condensing steam and saturated process steam at pressures of up to 150 psi in energy-related applications. Both series types have no moving parts and require negligible maintenance. All meters in…
Accurate level measurement in steam applications Emerson Process Management Dynamic Vapor Compensation (DVC) is a new option available for the Rosemount 5300 Series of High Performance Guided Wave Radar (GWR) level transmitters (photo). DVC eliminates accuracy errors associated with varying…
Last month, in unveiling the S-Series release of its DeltaV digital automation system, Emerson Process Management (Austin, Tex.; www.emersonprocess.com) introduced electronic marshalling, a new concept in input/output (I/O) configuration that promises to streamline the design and installation of automation systems,…
For many years now, talk of wirelessly networking and transmitting process signals has projected new levels in process performance, safety and overall efficiency for the chemical process industries (CPI). Until recently, however, a number of strings held back widescale adoption.…
As the chemical process industries (CPI) continue to focus on improving operations and lowering costs, interest in process automation diagnostics, which can play a critical role in helping processors reduce maintenance spending, continues. “Processors are beginning to realize that good…
A new line for simply and easily determining melting point Mettler Toledo Melting point is one of the most frequently determined thermal values for material characterization. With these new melting point systems (photo), only one click is required to run…
