An adapter system suited for sterile processes

This company has developed an adapter system for measuring instruments with hygienic connections, which meet the stringent requirements of sterile processes. The adapter consists of a pressure gage or transmitter with a mounted adapter and is certified to 3-A Sanitary…

A flowmeter with built-in computer and temperature sensor

The new VLM10 inline vortex flowmeter for mass, volumetric and energy-flow measurement on steam, liquid and gas applications is available in sizes 1 to 12 in. The device combines an inline vortex meter, a built-in flow computer and an integral…

This chromatography system does the job of two different ones

The 1260 Infinity Hybrid SFC/UHPLC system is said to be the first commercial instrument that performs both supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). This enables intelligent screening for the most suitable method of separation and delivers…

Many parameters are handled by a single transmitter

The new Signet 9900 SmartPro Transmitter features multi-parameter capabilities, flexible modularity and an auto-sensing, backlit display with “at-a-glance” visibility, even in dark conditions. The transmitter provides a single-channel interface for any different parameters, including flow, pH/ORP, conductivity/resistivity, pressure, temperature, level,…

Monitor reactions in the laboratory and production with this IR device

Next-generation ReactIR 45P technology allows reaction scaleup to be studied under actual process conditions. Designed to operate in the laboratory as well as in classified areas, ReactIR 45P uses in situ monitoring to study the formation and consumption of starting…

View everything you need with a single indicator

The MXL (photo) is this company’s latest addition to its family of loop-powered indicators operating from a 4–20-mA d.c. input. This model incorporates the LCD from the company’s EJX pressure transmitter into a NEMA 4X aluminum housing. The MXL currently…

Taking a Holistic Approach to Wireless

While some initially worried that the lack of a single wireless instrumentation standard — currently WirelessHart and ISA 100 both exist — would deter end users from embracing any wireless technology, it seems that’s not the case. “The benefits of…

New Measurement Practices for Cold Climates

Instrumentation best practices that are taught in colleges and published in standards are intended to be broadly applicable, guiding users in every industry and geography. However, for outdoor applications in cold climates, where the temperature can fall below –40°C, the…

This electrical arc protection system acts within 50 ms

The TVOC-2 Arc Guard System detects faults in low- and medium-voltage switchgear within 1 ms and disconnects the power provided to the arc within 30–50 ms, preventing serious injury to personnel and reducing damage to expensive equipment. Without the system,…
