The Gas-SelectX gas-selection feature of the FT1 thermal mass flowmeter (photo) has been expanded to include more pure gases. The 11 available pure gases for the device are: air, argon, butane, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, methane, natural gas, nitrogen, oxygen…
The American Filtration and Separations (AFS) Society (Nashville, Tenn.; www.afssociety.org) will be holding the Oil, Gas and Chemicals Filtration & Separations Conference and Expo (www.spring.afssociety.org) in Houston on May 9–11, 2016. Focusing on both mechanical and chemical means to promote…
Eductor nozzles are often used to agitate the contents of tanks to prevent separation and sedimentation. If the chemicals are aggressive or stored at higher temperatures, eductors made from brass or stainless steel are typically used. Now, this new range…
Epsilon dry-disconnect couplings (photo) are designed for use in critical in-plant and chemical-transfer applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Examples of volatile, hazardous or high-value pharmaceutical compounds whose transfer can benefit from the use of Epsilon disconnects include dichloromethane, toluene, ammonia and…
Acoustics-based device monitors uneven topography The BinMaster 3D Level Scanner (photo) uses non-contact, dust- penetrating technology to detect solid material surfaces. It provides early warning of surface irregularity, the development of cones, or sidewall buildup in bins and vessels, and…
