These process monitors measure multiple gases to sub-ppm range

Precisive The OXS Series Optical Gas Monitors (photo) use tunable filter spectroscopy to measure gas flow components in the ppm to percent range (3100 Series) as well as sub-ppm concentrations (4100 Series). The process monitors are automated, and provide realtime…

Hyphenated instrument for testing drugs and plastics

Perkin Elmer The DSC-Raman system (photo) combines the strengths of thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry; DSC) with Raman spectroscopy into an integrated system. When combined, the two complementary techniques provide greater insight into material changes at the molecular level. The…

This one transmitter does the job of ten devices

Emerson Process Management The Rosemount 3051S MultiVariable Transmitter (3051SMV; photo) measures three variables and provides mass and energy flow output, thereby reducing the number of devices traditionally required to make differential pressure (DP) flow measurements from ten to one. The…

Track product color and gloss without making contact

X-Rite Europe The VS450 non-contact spectrophotometer (photo) is designed for color and gloss measurement on wet and dry samples, including cosmetics, paints, soil, plastics and powders. The device features an integrated gloss sensor for relative gloss measurements, and when used…

‘See how these X-ray machines perform without a site visit

Eriez This firm has introduced a way for users to view the performance of its X-Ray machines live online. This eliminates the need for an on-site facility visit, saving time and money. Users will “virtually” attend the material test in…

Flowrate totalizer simplifies the sums

  Trimec Specifically designed for computing and displaying flowrates and totals from flowmeters with pulse, sine-wave or frequency outputs, the RT20 Rate Totalizer (photo) can be battery or externally powered and features a large six-digit LCD total, eight-digit cumulative totalizer…

Simulate fluidized bed thermodynamics with this software

CPFD Software The Barracuda v14 simulation software (photo) offers 3-D modeling of chemical, thermal and flow dynamics in gas-solid and liquid-solid systems. The latest release includes a new chemistry module for modeling homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions inside fluidized bed…

Measure O2 where it matters most — directly in your process

Performance of oxygen measurement is now redefined with this firm’s amperometric systems. These systems not only allow reliable and stable measurement directly from the process gas stream or vessel, they are inexpensive to maintain and, what is more, do not…

This sensor can be used with many energy-harvesting systems

EH-LinkT is a wireless sensor node that can draw power from a host of energy-harvesting systems, including strain, vibration, thermal gradients, solar, electromagnetic fields and piezoelectric harvesters. The device is compatible with any analog transducer, and so can be used…

This monitor detects toxic and hazardous gases

Halogen Valve System The Jupiter gas-detection system model HVS4000 (photo) monitors and reports information about hazardous and toxic gases to Scada systems. It is a microprocessor-based instrument capable of detecting a wide range of toxic gases in ppm quantities, including…
