Maintain steady gas pressures at trace amounts of reactive gases

The 491M-PB Module (photo) is used with 491M Modular Gas Standards Generators to maintain steady gas pressures within the unit and balance the vent backpressure to the delivery system pressure. By using a continuous flow of mixture at controlled temperature…

Measure the flow without contacting the fluid

The VUS is a solid-state flow sensor incorporated into the SoniQ ultrasonic flow sensor (photo). The medium simply flows through a straight stainless-steel tube, and ultrasonic transducers positioned on the outer surface of the pipe measure the fluid flowrate. The…

Custom calibrate these variable area flowmeters

Used to measure liquid and gas flowrates by means of a tapered tube and float, these variable area flowmeters (photo) feature individually calibrated scales and a 10:1 turndown ratio. All units are factory calibrated and marked to indicate the specific…

This module delivers a wide range of capabilities for temperature control

The VersaMax Micro Thermocouple (Type K, J, E, S, T, B or N) / Millivolt expansion module (photo) can be used in a wide range of temperature monitoring and controlling applications, as well as for weighing. There are two cost-effective…

This microphone measures sound based on light variations

The MO 2000 optical microphone (photo, p. 28D-4) utilizes a new type of transducer that processes acoustic signals on the basis of variations in light intensity. In the optical microphone, light from an LED is directed onto a reflective diaphragm…

This infrared thermometer has variable configuration software

Raytek CM (photo) is an integrated infrared temperature-measurement sensor with precision, high-resolution silicon optics. An RS232 digital interface allows the configuration of all programmable sensor variables via Raytek DataTemp Multidrop software. These include a 24-V-d.c. alarm output triggered by target…

A blanket gas regulator for lower-volume processes

The Model 3011/3041 blanket-gas-regulator product line now includes a ½-in. connection for lower volume processes that require smaller flow capacities. The new ½-in. size connection is available with an optional sanitary fitting or quick-disconnect linkages. The regulator is constructed of…

This mini data logger handles lots of data points

CiK Solutions The MSR165 (photo) is a miniature, universal data logger for measuring and storing different physical parameters. The device is equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor with integrated temperature measurement, a pressure sensor and a three-axis accelerometer.…

NIR moves from the laboratory to production environment

NIRQuest is a fiber-optic, near-infrared spectrometer easily adaptable for cost-effective, online process control measurements. The instrument covers the spectral range from 900 to 2,500 nm, making it suitable for applications such as moisture detection in grains and meats, materials characterization…

Detect level of bulk solids without making direct contact

VEGA Grieshaber The microwave barrier Vegamip 61 (photo) is designed for the requirements of the bulk solids industry. The microwave barrier measures without making direct contact with the medium, which is particularly advantageous when dealing with abrasive materials or very…
