Using Rupture Disks with Pressure Relief Valves

Protecting process systems from overpressurization is a critical task in the chemical process industries (CPI), and rupture disks and safety relief valves are routinely used for this purpose. In certain situations, using rupture disks in combination with safety relief valves…

Design plants faster and more reliably with the Comos software solution  

The Siemens division Industry Automation (Nuremberg, Germany; www.siemens.com/industryautomation) has expanded Comos (www.siemens.com/comos), the software solution for complete plant management throughout the entire lifecycle of an industrial plant, with functions for productive front-end engineering and design (FEED). Comos FEED supports the…

These level transmitters now communicate via Modbus

The Rosemount 530 Series Guided Wave Radar and 5400 Series non-contacting level transmitters now include the ability to communicate via the Modbus protocol. The addition of Modbus enables the transmitter to emulate LevelMaster — sometimes known as ROS or tank…

This wireless temperature logger uses standard thermocouples

The RTR-505Pt Wireless Temperature Logger is compatible with industry standard three-wire Pt-100 sensors and accepts the standard three-wire screw-terminal attachments. The device covers the temperature range from –199 up to 650°C, depending on the sensor selected. It has a large…

Measure torque accurately, without making contact

Utilizing non-contact digital telemetry, the TMS 9250 Torque Measurement System is designed to meet evolving industry needs for wireless torque measurements. The need for precise torque measurement spans industries and applications, as torque is critical in the design or testing…

A small but reliable FTIR spectrometer

The Cary 630 Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer is claimed to be the world’s smallest FTIR, and offers “outstanding performance and reproducibility” for routine laboratory analysis of solids, liquids and gases. Sampling accessories slide in and out in seconds, with…

A system to monitor and control brewing processses

LiquiSonic Plato (photo) is an inline analyzer for liquids in the beverage industry. The system consists of one or more intelligent sensors and a controller that are connected to each other by a digital line of almost any length. Investment…

Changes in P, T and r will not affect this lever indicator

The CoFox CMG 01 level indicator is used for continuous level measurement in tanks containing liquid, electrically conductive media at temperatures from –40 to 150°C. The device operates on the potentiometric principle, and therefore measurements are not affected by changes…
