This handheld device quickly analyzes duplex steel for N and C

The Spectrotest TXC25 high-performance, mobile metal analyzer is capable of rapidly determining the nitrogen content in duplex steels with a spark excitation, and quickly identifying low-alloy steels using carbon excitation. The unit’s thin sample probe enables hard-to-reach sample areas, such…

This analyzer provides a top view of surface properties

Krüss The TVA100 Top View Analyzer (photo) measures the contact angle of liquids using the image of light spots that are mirrored by the curved surface of the drop. Contact angles in the lower range (down to 1.5 deg), which…

Multi fluid and multi range gives flexibility and cost reduction

The Select Series of digital mass flowmeters and controllers offers greater flexibility for user selection of both flow ranges and gas types. For user convenience, the firm has developed a free software tool called FlowTune. By hooking up the instrument…

Measure flow and pressure in microfluidic systems

Dolomite Centre Mitos Sensor units (photo) are designed to measure flow and pressure in microfluidic systems. Capable of displaying results in realtime, the sensors have low internal volumes, and are designed to minimize interference with the liquid flow. The Mitos…

Improve rheological analysis with this FTIR module

Launched at the K-Show last month, Rheonaut is a compact Fourier transform, infrared (FTIR) module for this firm’s rheometer platform. When used with the Haake Mars rheometer platform, the module helps users understand the causes of rheological properties on a…

Generate less waste with this mercury sensor

JM Science The Aquacounter HG-400 low-cost mercury analyzer (photo) requires small sample sizes and minimal reagents, so it generates a small volume of waste in sampling. Its detection limit is 0.5 ppt at sample volumes of 5 mL, and 5…

An interactive software tool for assembling process analyzers

Swagelok Featuring 3D CAD output, live flow evaluation and integrated flow data, the updated MPC Configurator (photo) makes it easy to develop complete process analyzer and sample systems. The program provides engineers with an interactive tool to build and assemble…

Obtain Accurate Differential Pressure and Vacuum Readings

The Type 226A and 228A Baratron Differential Capacitance Manometers (photo) provide accurate and repeatable differential pressure and vacuum readings from 0.027 to 133 kPa at ambient temperature. The direct linear signals are accurate for very small pressure drops and flow…

A Photoionization Gas Detector that Monitors VOCs

The 2020ComboPRO (photo) is a photoionization detector for monitoring VOCs combined with an optional pre-filter tube for benzene measurement capability. Its display provides simultaneous measurements of realtime, peak, time-weighted average and short-term exposure level readings. With a substantial measurement range…

Use Standard PC Hardware to Control Field Devices

With the Softnet PN-IO Linux software controller, it is possible to control distributed field devices via Profinet with standard PC hardware, such as the Simatic Microbox PC. The computer functions as a PN I/O controller. Up to 64 I/O devices…
