With these two energy-use monitors, companies can gain insight into how, when and where energy is being expended throughout a production process. The PowerMonitor W 250 (photo) features a self-generating wireless communications platform that is ideally suited to applications located…
The TR-76Ui is a three-channel data logger designed to simultaneously measure and record CO2 concentration, temperature and humidity. Users can set atmospheric pressures for each measurement location, allowing more stable and accurate CO2 readings. The unit can measure CO2 levels…
To serve industrial processes with “critical” media, this company has expanded its range of electronic pressure switches with the addition of the PSD-31 with flush diaphragm (photo). This device is particularly suited for applications in abrasive, aggressive, adhesive, crystalline and…
The 3DLevelScanner HE is designed for use in storage silos containing challenging materials, such as clinker, alumina and flyash. This new model of the scanner has an operating temperature range of up to 250°F, to accommodate higher temperatures that may…
Thermodynamics cannot yield any information about the intermediate states of a given reacting system. These intermediate states are the subject matter of chemical kinetics, which studies reaction rates and mechanisms. Chemical kinetics will predict what chemicals are present while thermodynamics…
One of the largest costs of monitoring gas levels is the ongoing cost of sensor calibration. The TR250Z Oxygen Sensor and O2/CO2 Combination Sensor are both designed to be calibrated in situ with the push of a button using normal…
Level measurement and control in process vessels can be one of the most challenging applications in which to obtain consistently safe and reliable results. Part of this difficulty may be due to the fact that the sizing of the vessel…
The pursuit of manufacturing excellence is a strong theme across all of the chemical process industries (CPI). Improving operations by eliminating variability and waste, a cornerstone of the six sigma approach, is essential for competitive performance in the global marketplace.…
Last month, this company launched a new range of SOLA solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and plates. SOLA combines polyethylene frit materials and stationary phase components into one, uniform entity. As a result, these cartridges and plates deliver “superior” reproducibility, recovery…
The NEP-TX Series of molten-metal ceramic-sheath thermocouples (photo) features a 1,250°C temperature rating, connection head with terminal block and corrosion resistance. Standard construction includes a cast iron NEP-TX connection head and a 1 1/4 NPT fitting. Custom probe lengths are…
