The Rosemount QX1000 continuous gas analyzer is well-suited for use in continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), but also is a good fit in many other types of applications. The QX1000 uses paramagnetic detection for O₂ and quantum cascade laser direct absorption spectroscopy for all other gases to meet stringent performance requirements. This integration of different technologies and a modular approach provide a flexible, single-system solution tailored to diverse application needs. The QX1000’s robust design with low maintenance requirements also reduces lifecycle cost and downtime. The QX1000 uses cold/dry technology, with a sample conditioning system transporting gas extracted from the process to the analyzer through a thermoelectric chiller to reduce the temperature to about 4°Celsius (39°F), so most moisture condenses and drops out. Users can easily integrate the QX1000 into existing plant infrastructure, or it can be provided as part of an integrated Emerson system solution, including the sample conditioning system. Measurements made by the QX1000 are ideal for CEMS applications due to the analyzer’s high selectivity and accuracy. CEMS are required at most sites with a stack emitting gases to atmosphere, and they are widely used in chemical, oil and gas, power generation, pulp and paper, refining, water/wastewater and other industries. Leveraging the intrinsic high selectivity of laser-based measurement, this new analyzer provides precise monitoring of complex gas streams while delivering continuous, real-time data. Off the shelf, it supports measurement of key regulatory gases, including CO, CO₂, O2, NO, NO₂ and SO₂, with different configurations typically offering detection of one to four gases. Measurement of additional gases, such as CH₄and N₂O, is also available. Designed with reliability in mind, the QX1000 eliminates moving parts that are prone to failure and frequent replacement, minimizing maintenance and reducing total cost of ownership. Its low-consumable technology is especially critical in the CEMS market, where ongoing operational costs can be a barrier. By reducing system downtime and maintenance needs, the analyzer helps end users avoid costly penalties associated with taking systems offline, ensuring continuous compliance with regulatory requirements. — Emerson, St. Louis, Mo.

Loctite Stycast UV 7998 is the latest formulation in the company’s line of conformal coatings. Uniting sustainability, UL 94 V-0 certification and cost efficiency, the new material is designed for electronics protection at a competitive price-performance ratio. The material is well-suited for many applications, including home appliances, lighting, consumer electronics and automotive. Conformal coatings are thin polymeric materials applied to printed circuitboards (PCBs) and components and are ubiquitous for electronics applications that require a shield against moisture, dust, chemicals, and other environmental conditions that may limit performance and reduce product lifespan. Loctite Stycast 7998 provides this vital protection while lowering costs and enhancing safety, health, and the environment with its solvent-free composition. The material is easily applied, offering self-leveling across the PCB assembly, excellent wetting, and uniform coverage with no voiding. Once coated, curing takes place in seconds with energy-efficient UV light followed by a secondary moisture cure, after which the PCB is shielded from harsh environmental conditions and contaminants. Importantly, Loctite Stycast UV 7998’s strong attention to sustainability can enable electronics manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40% (versus solvent-containing formulas), prioritize operator health and realize significant cost improvements. Compared to solvent-based conformal coatings, the VOC-free, solvent-free Loctite Stycast UV 7998 requires as much as four times less sprayed volume to achieve a similar thickness. In addition to eliminating environmental volatiles, the material is tin-free, halogen-free, BPA-free, and RoHS- and REACH-compliant. — Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Düsseldorf, Germany

800EMR Series flowmeters have been engineered to provide accurate interference-free flow measurement in environments affected by high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). As modern industrial facilities and critical infrastructure systems become increasingly powered by high-frequency electronics, including variable frequency drives, RF power supplies, converters, and high-voltage equipment, EMI has become a growing threat to measurement stability. Standard flowmeters operating in these environments may experience unstable readings, communication errors, or data. The 8000EMR Series is designed specifically to address these challenges, delivering consistent performance where electromagnetic noise is unavoidable. The 8000EMR Series also meets the IEC 61000-4-3 electromagnetic interference standard, offering exceptional resistance to radiated EMI in harsh electronic environments. Key design features include: Full metal shielding that acts as a Faraday barrier against radiated emissions; Isolated grounds and power circuits to prevent conducted noise and current loops; Differential signal paths to reject common mode interference; Digital filtering and conditioning to remove spikes while preserving response time; and low-emission internal electronics to minimize electromagnetic footprint. These enable the 8000EMR Series to maintain stable, accurate flow measurement without calibration drift, even near high-power electronic equipment. The flowmeters are also designed for robustness in harsh manufacturing environments, with NEMA 4X / IP66 stainless steel construction for wet and industrial conditions; Shock and vibration resistance; Operating liquid temperature ranges from –40 to 90 C; Accuracy of ±3% of full flow range; and Compatibility with many advanced heat-transfer fluids. These capabilities make the 8000EMR Series ideal for mission-critical flow monitoring for semiconductor manufacturing, industrial automation systems, laboratory equipment and data center thermal management. — Proteus Industries, Mountain View, Calif.

To improve safety in the handling of hazardous substance, a new pump tube made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) aims to help reduce the risk of spills and injuries. The pump tube is designed as a vertical immersion pump. With an immersion depth of 39 in., it can be inserted directly into drums and canisters. An electrically or pneumatically operated motor can be attached on top. The motor drives a radial impeller via a shaft, which guides the medium into a conveying line through centrifugal force. This enables the safe conveying of up to 25 gal/min (95 L/min) without any risk of spillage. An optional dispensing nozzle and flowmeter enable targeted dispensing. The pump tube is made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). This makes it resistant to chemicals and ideal for transporting not only sodium hypochlorite, but also alkalis (including caustic soda and potash lye), precipitating and flocculating agents (including iron or aluminum salts), and cleaning and rinsing chemicals. Additional safety is provided by the fact that the design does not use any seals on parts that come into contact with the medium. This reduces the risk of leaks. While PVDF versions offer similar chemical resistance, the CPVC model is significantly more economical (often 20–30% lower in price based on market comparisons) without compromising performance for suitable media. This makes it an ideal choice for budget-conscious operations that demand durability and safety. — Lutz Pumps, Inc., Norcorss, Ga.
