The ISR 6-TI Advanced pyrometer uses a built-in video camera with infrared (IR) filter to improve manufacturing processes in metals, glass and other heat-dependent manufacturing industries. The ISR 6-TI Advanced is said to be a true breakthrough by combining pyrometry…
Analyze H2S content in liquids with this benchtop device Analytical Systems International Keco The Model 205L (photo) is a benchtop analyzer used to quantify hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in liquids, including crude oil, fuel oil, naphtha, water, marine diesel, gasoline and…
Using flowsheet simulation to model processes involving granular solids — either those that are entirely separate from fluid processes or those that are combined with them — has many advantages for improving the process design. These include avoiding unplanned downtime,…
Bartec Pixavi Impact X is the first intrinsically safe smartphone with the same usability, performance and functionality as high-end consumer devices. The product is ready to use right out of the box, just like a regular smartphone. In addition to…
Aucotec This company has developed a new function for its process engineering-oriented software system Engineering Base (EB) Instrumentation, which now makes the piping that is defined in P&ID (piping and instrumentation diagram) a lot “smarter.” The new version EB 6.5.0…
UWT The Nivobob NB3300 (rope version) and NB3400 (tape version) level-measuring devices are specially modified for interface measurement. They are designed for continuous measurement of salt or mud levels of contaminated water in tanks or silos. All installed parts have…
Vega Grieshaber The new Vegapuls 69 is available in two versions — with simple and light plastic antenna of polypropylene (PP) and with a lens antenna integrated in a flange. The level-measuring instrument operates with a frequency of 79 GHz,…
