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 (photo) was designed specifically with high-temperature processing environments in mind. Under laboratory test conditions, the 316L stainless steel Sta-Kool cooling element was…
A Pressure Transducer for Hazardous Applications is Introduced
The PT-400 Amplified Output Pressure Transducers (photo) provide a minimum of 10-million operating cycles with high accuracy of ±0.25% F.S., in operating temperatures from – 40 to 180°F. Additionally, these sensors cover pressures ranging from 0 up to 20,000 psi,…
New Software Version Enables Faster, More Complex Modeling
Ansys POLYFLOW 3.12 is the latest version of software for the analysis of plastic and rubber processing, glass forming and food processing. The new Version is faster, more efficient and can handle larger problems than previous releases, since it includes…
Pneumatic wrenches offer new gearbox design and extended torque
A new gearbox design joins this company’s family of Pneutorque pneumatic torque wrenches. Models in the new Series are faster, lighter, smaller and easier to handle than other units of similar capacities, according to the manufacturer. New torque ranges for…
This paddle design simplifies installation and removal
A new option for the BMRX and Maxima+ rotary level indicators is a collapsible paddle. This paddle design simplifies installation and removal of the rotary by allowing the stainless-steel paddle to be collapsed to fit through a standard 1-1/4-in. opening…
This unit offers measurements for low flows in the milliliter range
The SLQ-HC60 (photo) fills a gap in the existing range of products for precise measurement in the low flowrate range, below 100 mL/min. This water-resistant meter operates without moving parts and can detect bubbles in the microliter range as well.…
Avabench-75-ULS
The new Avabench-75-ULS optical bench for the AvaSpeck family of fiber-optic spectrometers has a dual, internal modestripper along with multiple compound-parabolic concentrators to further reduce stray-light levels to less than 0.04% The new optical-bench design also features much higher rigidity,…
Realtime viscosity monitoring, even at high pressure
The new XL7-HT2 high-temperature viscometer provides continuous realtime viscometry measurement of fluids at up to 450°C without special cooling. The device has no moving parts, and the sensor is an all-welded construction that can be mounted at any location and…
Temperature controller with embedded PLC ladder-logic control
The UTAdvanced Hybrid Temperature Controller (photo) combines PID control with an embedded ladder-sequence control. The new feature supports 84 ladder commands, four analog inputs, three analog outputs and allows up to 400 ladder steps that can be programmed and run…
An expanded line of temperature-measurement devices
With the addition of bimetal thermometers and thermowells for general industry, this firm expands its existing line of temperature measurement devices. The dampened-movement bimetal thermometers (photo) operate in measurement ranges from –100 to 1,000°F and are available in adjustable-angle, center-back,…
