This steam-trap monitor has ISA100 Wireless certification
This company’s SWWRF40 wireless steam-trap monitor has successfully achieved ISA100 Wireless certification from the International Society of Automation (ISA). The device monitors gas and steam leaks, temperature, pressure and other relevant information related to valves and the steam system. The…
Show Preview – AFS Society Spring Meeting 2016
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…
These flowmeters’ gas-selection feature has been expanded
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…
PVDF eductor nozzles for aggressive chemicals
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…
Level Monitoring and Control
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…
Ball-valve mechanisms in these couplings protect against spills
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…
These mixers are now available for higher capacities
This company has expanded its most advanced planetary mixer line, the PDDM (photo), to include larger working capacities up to 750 gal. The PDDM is a multi-agitator mixer featuring two planetary stirrer blades and two high-speed disperser shafts. Designed for…
A new crossflow filtration system for process development
SartoFlow Smart (photo) is a new benchtop crossflow system for optimized ultra- and diafiltration applications. It can be used in many downstream processes, such as purification of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. The system is suitable for flexible use…
These vacuum regulators are now available in aluminum
This company’s dome-loaded vacuum regulators are now available in an anodized aluminum version (photo). Previously, the regulators were only available in stainless steel or polyvinyl chloride. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum models are suitable for many vacuum applications, such as extrusion…
This dosing system reduces exposure to materials
The Sure Dose portable dosing system (photo) allows for safer dosing of materials from smaller feed tanks to larger batch or mix tanks. Since the system requires no lifting or suspension of the drum, operator exposure to the materials being…
