This Flowmeter Thrives in Hazardous Environments

The latest addition to the range of Flo-Dar open-channel flowmeters is an ATEX-certified portable system with a built-in GPRS internet data transfer facility. This new model enables the entire system to be mounted in the zoned area, with nothing above…

New Communication Interfaces Improve the Versatility of Flowmeters

This firm has introduced new communication options for its Micro Motion 2400S transmitter. These compact devices, which mount integrally onto Micro Motion Elite Coriolis meters, are now available with DeviceNet or Profibus DP communication protocols in addition to the traditional…

This noncontact level controller can be used in restricted spaces

LVCN700 Series controllers (photo) provide noncontact level detection from distances up to 26 ft. A pushbutton target calibration features three relay outputs that can be configured on a single setpoint alarm and a 3-in.-beam dia. for restricted space applications. These…

A wireless product sends complete maintenance information

This company, in collaboration with SKF, has introduced OneWireless Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM), which will wirelessly transmit complete spectral information — including vibration amplitude and operating parameter information — from the field to the plant room. OneWireless EHM is a…

This analog signals conditioner comes in a small package

With the new miniMOORE family of multichannel signal conditioners, up to four low-cost I/O channels are delivered in a 1-in. footprint — equivalent to 0.25 in./channel. Providing 1,000 Vrms input-to-output and channel-to-channel signal isolation, the complete miniMOORE family can be…

Smart

Precision, accuracy, durability and ergonomics are benefits of Smart, the fully autoclavable micropipette. With a highly sensitive volume display, a micropipette with 100–1,000-μL volume range has an increment of 1 μL instead of the typical 5 μL. Ensuring precision, design…

Build this paperless data acquisition system into a network

The RD8300 paperless recording system (photo) has features a high contrast 142 mm color Active Matrix TFT LCD with a rugged touch screen that can be operated by a finger or the onboard stylus. It has a built-in OPC server…

A popular alignment tool is now ATEX approved

This firm has released its ATEX-approved intrinsically safe version of its alignment system, Optalign smart. This system also complies with IEC Ex requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Optalign smart is a modular, mid-range alignment system that can cover…

Simulate solids flow faster than ever

CoRheoGrain is part of the CoRheoS Software Suite, which enables the simulation of industrial-scale processes involving various types of grains and powders. A novel approach makes it possible to simulate the flow of granular material in computer times much faster…

In-process analyzers eliminate need for random sampling

Sartorius Mechatronics The new PMD 500 Series of online process analyzers (photo) optically determine the moisture content and concentration of other constituents using near infrared (NIR) technology, thereby eliminating the need for testing random samples, which prevents downtime and saves…
