These gas-detection systems are SIL-2 certified
The CGS-FlexVu UD10 combustible-gas detection system combines a catalytic-bead gas sensor with a multifunction universal display for detection of a wide range of hydrocarbon gases, as well as hydrogen, in harsh industrial environments. The explosion-proof system is third-party rated for…
Use these pump heads for extremely shear-sensitive fluids
The new Masterflex L/S Cytoflow pump head (photo) was developed specifically for pumping live cells and shear-sensitive fluids in biopharmaceutical and microbiology applications. The Cytoflow pump head has a large-diameter rotor, resulting in high flowrates at low motor speeds. The…
These gear pumps have built-in pressure control
Series UP6 electric gear pumps (photo) feature the option for built-in pressure control, whereby a factory-programmed pressure setting is maintained via a microprocessor-based variable pump-speed control circuit that utilizes an internal pressure sensor for loop feedback. UP6 pumps are self-priming…
Safety sensors designed for increased vibration resistance
This company’s Eden sensors (photo) now feature a solid-state, board-level design with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for increased resistance to vibration and greater security. RFID technology allows for large sensing distances and its vibration resistance decreases the risk of involuntary…
Automated alarm management reduces manual calculation work
The newest release of the PlantState Suite (PSS) software, version 8.3, includes the new Alarm Mechanic feature, which is designed to improve console operator performance by minimizing nuisance alarms through automated analytics and recommendations. With the addition of Alarm Mechanic,…
Test turbine trip systems without disrupting production
This company’s new, patent-pending pneumatic trip system (photo) with partial-stroke actuation provides quick testing of turbine trip systems while the equipment is still running. There is no disruption to production, and the trip valve will still work if an overspeed…
