The next evolutionary level of explosion protection

Similar to a process control system, the iQ Safety Cockpit offers an overview of all relevant protective and equipment system status, which can also be monitored in real time from any location remotely via a smartphone. Detailed, automatic and semi-automatic…

A laboratory mixer for high-containment applications

This company has built the smallest machine in its company history in order to meet the highly specialized demands of the high-containment segment. The new Ploughshare laboratory mixer type L1 (photo) supplements the L series and has a drum volume…

Diesel-tank level transmitters for oil-and-gas applications

The Model 575 intrinsically safe level transmitter (photo, p. 24) and the Model DDMC meter/controller can continuously monitor the fuel level in diesel storage tanks. The Model 575 level transmitter is placed in the liquid, and an optional conduit adapter…

Non-intrusive measurement of very low liquid flows

The Fluxus F721 XLF (photo) is a non-intrusive ultrasonic flowmeter designed to provide precise measurement of flowrates of 3 L/h and below in small pipes with diameters from 10 to 50 mm. Since the clamp-on transducers are mounted on the…

New PLC with explosion-proof options

The HI-TBS programmable logic controller (PLC; photo) combines ultra-bright LED technology with 0.1% accuracy to deliver a customizable digital panel meter for applicational use across a wide variety of industries. In addition to serving as a PLC, the TBS is…

Quantitative/qualitative analysis of gases at ambient pressure

OmniStar (photo) and ThermoStar GSD 350 are compact, portable benchtop instruments for analyzing gases at atmospheric pressure. They are particularly used for applications in chemical processes, in the semiconductor industry, metallurgy, fermentation, catalysis, freeze-drying and environmental analysis. The gas inlet…

New technologies enhance metallic filter elements

This company has launched a range of surface-modification technologies that can be applied to metallic filter elements (photo) to enhance their material properties in challenging environments, improving filter performance and lifetime. Sinterguard PHC extends the life of 316 stainless steel…

Ethernet safety I/O modules with IP67 protection

The TBIP and TBPN full safety block input/output (I/O) modules (photo) control safety applications directly from the field and thus simplify modular machinery for Profisafe and CIP Safety, respectively. The robust IP67 modules provide safety input and output signals directly…

A space-saving innovation for control boxes and cabinets

With this company’s new cover-installation concept for Ex control boxes and cabinets, users can install components directly onto the backside of the enclosure cover (photo), rather than on mounting rails deep in the control stations. Enclosures that are equipped in…

Remote, IoT-enabled monitoring of AODD pumps

SafeGuard (photo) is an IoT-enabled (internet of things) pump-monitoring system that remotely tracks, records and alerts users to key performance indicators — such as leak detection, stroke rate and total stroke count — of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps during operation.…
