Automated process valves using pneumatic actuators always require a range of various instrumentation components to build specific functions for each application. In conventional single-engineered solutions, components are typically assembled all around the actuator. To date, valve assembly-related instrumentation has been…
The Vantageview PD6730X Modbus scanner is designed for accurate display of and quick access to information, locally or remotely, in wet or dirty environments. The scanner can accept up to 16 individually programmed process variables (PVs) from multiple devices, and…
The TriVAX (photo) and TriVAX flex intelligent electrohydraulic valve actuators are as easy to install and handle as an all-electric drive unit, yet are as powerful, robust and durable as an actuator that is entirely hydraulic. The intelligent electronics ensure…
Over 750,000 entries are now available to the scientific community through the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). This fully validated database, established in 1965, contains all small-molecule chemical structures ever published, and is an essential resource to scientists around the world.…
The SmartVentilation system is a complete solution to the challenge of providing fresh air and venting toxic gases from subterranean mines. It also minimizes energy use by ventilating only those areas of a mine that require it. The company estimates…
The new Type 3379 Pneumatic Actuator is tailored to the requirements of hygienic applications. All moving parts are contained in a housing with a smooth stainless-steel finish, making it easy to clean. The internal air-routing prevents dirt or water from…
This company has introduced three new amplifier modules for its SomatXR Data Acquisition System. The new amplifier modules are especially suitable for taking measurements under very harsh operating conditions, making SomatXR systems suitable for drive and durability testing of machinery…
The energy-efficient Pro-Flo Shift Air-Distribution System (ADS) is now available in 316 stainless steel and polypropylene plastic (photo) materials of construction, joining the original aluminum and nickel-plated aluminum offerings. The introduction of the stainless-steel and plastic options allows the company’s…
The P.A.T.T.I. Micro is an adhesive-testing instrument that quantitatively measures the adhesion strength of numerous coating materials, including: paints, polymers, ceramics, inks, films, adhesives and thermal or arc-sprayed metals. Designed for both laboratory and field use, the device can collect…
This company’s Type 6027 solenoid valve is now available in a new, high-pressure version for pressures up to 250 bars. The new variant of the type 6027 seals the valve seat with a ceramic ball seal. This seal is self-centering…
