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…
Electro-Chemical Devices A conductivity sensor for high T, P applications The model CSX2 conductivity sensor (photo) is designed for temperatures up to 200ËšC at pressures of 250 psig. For temperatures below 100ËšC, the CSX2 is rated for pressures of up…
This level pressure transmitter is ideal for high-purity applications Endress+Hauser The Deltapilot FMB 70 hydrostatic, level pressure transmitter (photo) is particularly suitable for food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical applications. Its watertight pressure-measuring cell and 316L stainless-steel housing with polycarbonate…
As level is a critical parameter for those in the chemical process industries (CPI), level measurement instrumentation has been around for some time. But as processors scramble to become more efficient, reduce waste, control inventory and abide by environmental regulations,…
Reciprocating compressors — the most commonly used type of compressor throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) — are flexible and efficient, and they can generate high head (from several bar to several thousand bar) independent of gas density. Worldwide, the…
When automating fluid handling processes, it is critical to ensure that you are using the best type of pump for the process, and to understand how to control the type of pump you are using. The two major classes of…
One of the best ways to realize value from your process data is to use those data — both real-time and historical — in a process simulator. The many applications for doing so are generally categorized into offline and online…
