Nivobob is a re-engineered model of this firm’s popular plumb-bob range of level measurement technology. Among the enhancements offered are: increased durability via a brushless motor; a new rope system, which extends the time between servicing; and a larger measurement…
This company’s range of zirconia oxygen analyzers measure oxygen, from % to ppm levels. The accompanying software allows the user to view readings, set output and perform calibration remotely via a fully bi-directional RS-232 port. The Z1030 is a panel…
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…
With the challenging global marketplace and these unstable financial times, the chemical process Industries (CPI) must do everything possible to economically maintain production while providing innovative and high quality products for their customers. To achieve both these goals, predictive and…
Use magnetostrictive or laser transmitters for level measurements The LM80 laser transmitter (photo) can be used for noncontact level measurement and positioning in dry bulk and liquid level applications. Solid surfaces can be measured at any angle with the LM80,…
Engineers often need to fit experimental data to an empirical relationship for extrapolation or modeling without resorting to a full mathematical treatment based on physical principles or theory. The most widely used platform in science for doing this is MS…
The Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO) Food Futures Flagship (Sydney; www.csiro.au), has developed an in vitro robotic device for accurately predicting the glycemic index (GI) and resistant starch (RS) in foods. "This instrument will be a valuable tool…
Calibrate High-Quality Thermometers with this Instrument The 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators (photo) includes two new models, 4180 and 4181, which according to the manufacturer are easy enough to use in the field and accurate enough to use in the…
Process modeling has progressed from the "molecule accounting" of steady-state flowsheeting packages to become a central platform for capturing and deploying chemical process industries’ (CPI) intellectual property (IP). Systematic modeling has moved center stage to help companies differentiate themselves from…
Management is a process of managing risk; maintenance management is a process of managing risk for operational reliability. Since it is hard to manage what cannot be measured, effective maintenance management demands good data on machine health — a comprehensive…
