GF Piping Systems Signet 8550 Meters (photo) convert the signal from a Signet flow sensor into a 4–20-mA signal for long distance transmission. Features include single or dual input/output, two optional relays for process control, and scalability for virtually any…
The latest version of Materials Studio modeling and simulation platform is said to cut time to solutions in materials and chemical research. Designed for a wide range of applications, including catalysis, polymers and drug development, the updated software features improved…
Camlab The portable TB200 white-light turbidity meter (photo) is designed to quickly provide reliable onsite testing of water samples. The unit uses a white light source and a 90-deg infrared detection technique to meet specifications of EPA Standard 180.1. The…
Siemens Industry Sector The new, heavy-duty motion-sensing switch Sitrans WM100 (photo) is used to detect the absence or presence of motion on rotating, reciprocating or conveying equipment. The devices act as an early warning system to avoid costly process interruptions…
This firm has introduced a series of extended rotaries for top-of-bin mounting when the rotary is used as a high-level alarm. These vertically extended rotaries are desirable, because solid material will tend to be higher at the filling point and…
ASV Stübbe With the ultrasonic sensor ASV UFM (photo), contact-free level sensing of liquids and dry bulk goods can now be quickly and easily integrated into site installations. The compact device continuously controls the filling level by means of an…
Fluid Components International The FlexSwitch FLT93S Flow/Level/Temperature Switch provides interface detection and control for separation tanks and other vessels with mixed density media. Unlike density displacers, which are often used for level and interface control, the FLT93S Switch relies on…
The Thermoelectric Alloy Sorter (TE-3000) is used to inspect critical piping, flanges, tanks, bearings, finished parts and more. The device can be used for rapid field identification of materials, such as steels, nickel, aluminum, titanium alloys or stainless steels, super…
Contact-based temperature sensors, such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), have demonstrated accurate and cost-effective operation throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). However, there are many applications and settings where they are simply not practical. In those cases, engineers…
Question: How do rain, snow, ice and fog impact wireless performance? Answer: In the process of distributing wireless to a geographic area, it is often necessary to place transceivers outdoors. In doing so, a prudent designer understands that one cannot…
