This wireless vibration transmitter now has ATEX approval

With ATEX Zone 0 and Class I, Div. 1 ratings, the CSI 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter can now be installed directly in hazardous areas, such as chemical, petrochemical and offshore facilities, as well as other explosion-classified environments. The safety ratings,…

This analyzer optimizes biogas yields, minimizes H2S formation

Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Awi-Flex multifunctional biogas analyzer is supplied with a small air compressor that regulates air injection into the digester (above the sludge level) to between 0.5 and 1 vol.% for breaking down H2S into elemental…

Level control is simplified with non-steady-state tuning

This company’s software now includes non-steady-state (NSS) modeling features for integrating control loops. These tools are said to provide fast, simple modeling and tuning of level controls. Unlike temperature, pressure and flow, level controls have different dynamics, and these new…

A retractable assembly for sterile pH measurements

  The Cleanfit CPA875 pH retractable assembly provides reliable protection against bacterial contamination of processes, thus making it suitable for safe, automated pH measurement in sterile processes. The Cleanfit assembly is made of 1.4435/316L stainless steel with smooth, electropolished surfaces…

Inline control of cleaner concentration and rinsing baths

The inline analyzer, Liquisonic can be used for the reliable and economical operation of processes for cleaning surfaces. The sensor of the system continuously measures the cleaner concentration directly in the process, thereby ensuring that the values will not exceed…

A transmitter with two more sensor inputs

  The modular multichannel multiCell transmitter/controller type 8619 is an individually adjustable measuring system with extended functionalities that can be used with a wide range of sensors. This system is now extended with the addition of a new signal input…

Count and analyze particles in small-volume samples

The Pamas SBBS laboratory particle analyzer system has been upgraded to be equipped with an optional, small pressure-vessel container for handling small sample volumes (1–5 mL) of high-viscosity liquids, such as protein solutions. This new integrated pressure container is used…

Quickly switch between fieldbus protocols with this module

A new family of network-interface modules, dubbed netJack, has been launched to quickly and easily add or change fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols in automation devices. Thirteen different protocols are supported, including fieldbuses, such as DeviceNet and Profibus, and Industrial…

Measure temperature, even if there’s a loss of power

The new TGT73 is the third mechatronic product of the intelliTHERM family — a hybrid concept derived from pressure measurement technology. With the new thermometers, temperatures can be precisely controlled and adjusted; in the event of power loss, the analog…

A quick look will help operators pinpoint plant problems

Plant operators can now see at a glance how their plant is changing over time using the new CompareMap tool, which highlights the biggest changes in plant performance, and provides drill-down into corrective actions. The CompareMap approach compares the plant…
