Barcode scanner for use in hazardous areas
The IS-TH1 (photo) is said to be the first hand-held barcode scanner for use in hazardous areas and other industrial environments. The new device incorporates scanning technology from Zebra, and has been developed for two ranges. A mid-range variant for…
A new acoustic gas-leak detector with ultrasonic sensor
The Polytron 8900 ultrasonic gas-leak detector (UGLD) transmitter is an early-warning area monitor for detecting high-pressure gas leaks in outdoor industrial process environments. Thanks to an ultrasonic acoustic sensor, it responds earlier than conventional gas detectors because it registers the…
Air humidity/temperature sensor with IO-Link
This company's first combined air humidity/temperature sensor (photo) is easy to integrate into a process due to its IO-Link interface. The combined measurement of air humidity and temperature in a single device makes the CMTH-M12 ideal for use in condition-monitoring…
Measure density and concentration with gamma radiation
The InlineSENS (photo) density measuring system combines both a radiation source and scintillation detector in one device. Its use of low-energy gamma radiation from an Am-241 or Cm-244 source provides for strong responses to even the slightest change in product…
A redesigned flowmeter for short pipe runs
This company has expanded its full-bore, magnetic FlowtraMag flowmeter product line to include two new pipe sizes: 1.5 in. and 3 in. This complements the existing sizes (1, 2 and 4 in.) to bring the total offering to five sizes…
New pump-sealing system supports leakage-prevention standards
GS 54 is a new sealing support system following API Plan 54 standard for leakage prevention. Designed to fit a wide range of challenging, dual-pressurized seal applications, the new GS 54 system uses best-practice design to provide clean, cooled and…
This bulk-bag discharger has an integrated dust-collection system
