Extending predictive diagnostics to remote applications

Last month, a new, physically smaller version of the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor was introduced. The system — only 19 cm wide by 27 cm high — allows predictive condition monitoring for rotating equipment in a greater number of…

Measure multiple parameters with this analytical platform

Endress+Hauser The Liquiline CM442 (photo) is a four-wire, two-parameter transmitter for analytical sensing applications. The device can accept data from two sensors and measure any combination of parameters, including turbidity and suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorine and conductivity. Using…

This controller offers trouble-free commissioning

The eControl 8611 is a high-performance universal controller for flowrate, pressure, temperature, pH, conductivity and ratio between fluid and gas flow. It can be commissioned quickly and covers a wide range of different applications. During the initial configuration, the intelligent,…

Save space with this benchtop NMR machine

The second-generation MQC benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyzer features improvements that help maximize laboratory bench workspace. It has a more compact size and an internal computer with operator interface, so no external PC is required. The MQC’s magnet, computer…

A foot controller without wires

steute Schaltgeräte The advantages of wireless communication are particularly obvious in the case of foot controls; there are no cables to trip over or restrict movements. With the RF GFI/GFIS series (photo), engineers not only can take advantage of such…

Simulation Gets an Enhanced Meshing Tool

Version 5.0 of Tgrid advanced mesh-generation software introduces new tools and enhanced capabilities to generate high-quality meshes more efficiently. Tgrid technology is a specialized preprocessor for fluids analysis, and is used to create large, unstructured tetrahedral and hex-core meshes for…

This Device is Tailored for Ethanol Monitoring

This firm’s new gas detector (photo) registers asphyxiating or explosive concentrations of ethanol, making it useful for biofuel refineries, processing plants, pipelines, pumping stations, and fuel dumps. The detector calibrates itself given an initial ethanol sample, triggering an immediate warning…

Use One Sensor for Both High and Low Conductivities

The Rosemount Analytical Model 410VP four-electrode conductivity sensor is the latest addition to the PUR-Sense family of sensors for the life sciences and food and beverage industries. The wide dynamic range of the sensor (1 µS/cm to 1,400 mS/cm) makes…

This Radar Sensor Wears a Plastic Antenna

A new antenna system of plastic makes it possible to offer the Vegapuls 67 radar sensor at a considerably lower price, says the manufacturer. The sensor is suitable for application areas where, for economical reasons, ultrasonic instruments or capacitance probes…

When the Heat is on, this Device Keeps Pressure Gauges Cool

Extreme process temperatures reduce the accuracy, reliability, durability and lifespan of a pressure gauge. The Sta-Kool cooling element was designed specifically with high-temperature processing environments in mind. Under laboratory test conditions, the 316L stainless-steel Sta-Kool cooling element was able to…
