This sensor monitors a wide range of conductivities

JUMO The tecLine LF-4P (photo) is a new cell with four-pin technology for measuring conductivity. The device fills the gap between two-electrode cells and inductive measurement technology, and makes it possible to cover a very wide measurement range from about…

Unbreakable switch technology finds application in keyboards

ITW ActiveTouch ITW ActiveMetal switches (photo) have been introduced to this firm’s ActiveTouch line of switch products. The patented pushbutton switch employs a low-voltage subminiature transducer, which generates megahertz frequency vibration to the pushbutton a thousand times per second and…

Measure fluoride levels over a wide concentration range

Electro-Chemical Devices Accurate fluoride-ion measurements are required for applications including semiconductor fabrication and glass manufacturing. The S10 and S17 Fluoride pIon Sensors (photo) measure the activity of free fluoride ions in solution in concentration from 0.02 to 2,000 ppm over…

Less pipe straight-run needed with this flow conditioner

The Model VIP flow conditioner offers this company’s tab-type flow-conditioning technology in a low-cost, simply installed insertion panel format. It avoids the need, as with many flowmeter types, to have a significant straight run of pipe to allow a repeatable,…

A quick and reproducible way to measure foams

The DFA 100 Dynamic Foam Analyzer provides information about foamability, stability and drainage. Volumes from 20 mL are foamed with high reproducibility in a column using a gas stream or stirrer. The volumes of the foam and liquid are determined…

Monitor particulate emissions with high accuracy

The Model PM 100 particulate-flow and emissions-monitoring system provides continuous realtime and averaged analysis of particulate emissions for compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Designed for fabric filters, cyclones and process particulate flow monitoring, the PM 100 features…

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…
