Portable balances that can be used in vapor-filled atmospheres
The EK-EP Series of intrinsically safe compact balances (photo) are approved for both U.S. and Canada for Zone 0 or Division 1 atmospheres where vapors are constantly present and could be accidently ignited. The Series’ models have capacities of 300…
Enhanced safety is among the upgrades to these pumps
The newly upgraded mRoy line of metering pumps includes new features for improved safety, improved hydraulic efficiency and easier startup and maintenance. Specific enhancements include a liquid-end bleed system, making it easier to commission a new or newly maintained pump,…
This transmitter software reduces process upsets
Micro Motion Advanced Phase Measurement (APM; photo) is a software option available on this company’s Model 5700 transmitter that helps improve measurement accuracy in challenging multi-phase applications. This measurement solution provides insight into the complete flow stream, including oil, water…
Metallic gear pumps with very few parts
The Eclipse Series of metallic gear (photo) pumps features 12 different models to handle a wide variety of chemicals, connection sizes and flow ranges for water treatment and chemical processing applications. Equipped with a patented front pull-out design that simplifies…
New pulsation dampener design for AODD pumps
This company has launched a new pulsation dampener designed specifically for air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps. The AODDampener (photo) is constructed of 316L stainless steel with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragm, and employs an automatic air-control mechanism that utilizes the existing compressed-air…
Focus: Pipes, Tubes and Fittings
Antimicrobial tubing reduces the risk of bacterial transfer Clearflo Ag-47 antimicrobial tubing (photo) is now available in an additional seven sizes, expanding its range up to 1-in. inner dia. The NSF-listed tubing protects liquids from harmful bacteria that can result…
Metering pumps with brass manifolds and Aflas diaphragms
Since March, the Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions pumps (photo) are available with Alfas diaphragms as well as brass manifolds. Aflas is a copolymer elastomer that is resistant to extreme heat, acids and alkalis. It is appropriate for use when pumping water…
Realtime monitoring of water-solvent drying
This company has demonstrated that tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) can provide the advantages of continuous process control of pharmaceutical drying to manufacturers using water as their primary solvent. Working with a pharmaceutical manufacturer, this company carried out a production…
A metering pump for low-pressure ranges
The Ecodos diaphragm metering pump (photo) is mechanically driven, rather than hydraulically driven. Due to its simple construction, it operates without hydraulic oil and can also be used for sensitive applications in the pharmaceutical field. Fluids that would react with…
Detect thunderstorms well before the first lightning strikes
For many manufacturing facilities, thunderstorms can play a significant role in disrupting operations from an increased risk of ignition due to static electricity, as well as lightning strikes to the plant and process equipment. Many manufacturing and storage-transfer processes have…
