This thermal-imaging camera is portable

The Mikron MikroSHOT (photo) is the latest offering from this firms’ Mikron Infrared thermal imaging product line. The MikroSHOT’s Thermal-on-Visible mode allows for radiometric temperature data (from –20 – 350°C) to be displayed directly on the visible image. The pocket-sized…

Inline air tightness checker saves time and money

To meet food manufacturers’ stringent standards of freshness and quality, this firm introduces the SealTester, a rugged instrument that checks packaging for air and gas tightness inline. The key advantage of the SealTester is its saving in personnel costs compared…

Test pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and ion concentrations

These multi-parameter portable meters (photo) measure pH, conductivity, dissolved-oxygen and ion concentration. All three instruments are based on the rugged design of SevenGo, and are watertight according to IP67. The three new meters expand the range of portable instruments and…

Mass flowmeters for controlling high-purity gas flows

Bronkhorst High-Tech These metal-sealed mass flowmeters/controllers (photo) are designed to meet the requirements of the semiconductor market and other high-purity gas applications. The devices feature high surface quality and are of modular construction with metal-to-metal seals for long-term tightness. Now,…

The latest in shaft-alignment systems is simple to use

Prüftechnik Alignment Systems Shaftalign (photo) is a new, laser-shaft-alignment system that combines simplicity of operation with precise measurement. The device features a backlit color display and the computer’s built-in display light sensor optimizes image quality and the device power management.…

Use this network interface for fast transfer of time-critical information

Hardy Instruments The HI 4050 (photo), a general-purpose weight controller used in vessel-weighing, force-measurement, filling, level-by-weight, and batching/blending applications, is now available with a ControlNet network interface. The new interface allows rapid transfer of time-critical information at rates of 5…

Unbreakable switch technology finds application in keyboards

ITW ActiveTouch ITW ActiveMetal switches (photo) have been introduced to this firm’s ActiveTouch line of switch products. The patented pushbutton switch employs a low-voltage subminiature transducer, which generates megahertz frequency vibration to the pushbutton a thousand times per second and…

Measure fluoride levels over a wide concentration range

Electro-Chemical Devices Accurate fluoride-ion measurements are required for applications including semiconductor fabrication and glass manufacturing. The S10 and S17 Fluoride pIon Sensors (photo) measure the activity of free fluoride ions in solution in concentration from 0.02 to 2,000 ppm over…

Less pipe straight-run needed with this flow conditioner

The Model VIP flow conditioner offers this company’s tab-type flow-conditioning technology in a low-cost, simply installed insertion panel format. It avoids the need, as with many flowmeter types, to have a significant straight run of pipe to allow a repeatable,…

A quick and reproducible way to measure foams

The DFA 100 Dynamic Foam Analyzer provides information about foamability, stability and drainage. Volumes from 20 mL are foamed with high reproducibility in a column using a gas stream or stirrer. The volumes of the foam and liquid are determined…
