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,…
Keep Turbines Ice-Free with this Hygrometer
Protection against icing is vital to prolonging the life and efficiency of gas turbines. Applying the cooled-mirror measurement principle, the Optidew hygrometer (photo) delivers a repeatable, drift-free dew point or relative humidity measurement. The robust design of the Optidew for…
Maintain steady gas pressures at trace amounts of reactive gases
The 491M-PB Module (photo) is used with 491M Modular Gas Standards Generators to maintain steady gas pressures within the unit and balance the vent backpressure to the delivery system pressure. By using a continuous flow of mixture at controlled temperature…
Perform X-ray analysis in the field with one hand
The new xSORT hand-held, energy-dispersive XRF (photo) offers precise laboratory-like analysis in engineering, PMI or scrap-sorting applications by non-laboratory-trained staff. A special silicon drift detector (SDD) with up to ten times the counting speed of conventional systems not only gives…
Low-cost injection-molded flowmeters are available
Manufactured from polysulfone, a heat-resistant thermoplastic, these flowmeters provide good chemical resistance. For easy installation, Quik Loc connectors couple the meter body to the pipe connectors at the end of the flowmeter. Features include easy-to-read, direct-reading dual scales available in…
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,…
Accurate mass flowrates, even for fluctuating velocity profiles
The new Multi-Trak Model 670S is an advanced, state-of-the-art instrument for measuring mass flowrates in very large ducts or stacks that have non-uniform velocity profiles, high turndown requirements, dirty gas streams, wide temperature ranges and fast velocity and temperature changes.…
