The 848T’s four-channel efficiency adds to installation cost savings of Smart Wireless technology to reduce per point costs and thereby deliver more measurement data for use in improving operations and maintenance.
Clear object sensors
06 July, 2009 byBanner Engineering’s World-Beam QS30 Clear Object Sensors provide reliable clear object detection to solve challenging applications. The Clear Object Sensor utilises an advanced optical design to allow the sensor to see translucent materials, ensuring dependable detection of clear targets including PET bottles and glass containers.
Continuous liquid level sensor
06 July, 2009 byGems Sensors & Controls has launched the UCL-520 Ultrasonic Level Sensor that is suitable for non-contact applications such as industrial water treatment, wastewater management, chemical and petroleum distillates storage as well as many other challenging fluid applications.
Inline density measurement
06 July, 2009 byThe inline density measurement of liquids is now possible with the Liquiphant M sensor. In food and beverage applications it is claimed that this density measuring sensor can reduce material wastage, increase product quality and optimise control of the process.
Confined space gas detector
06 July, 2009 byThe BW Technologies Micro Clip personal gas detector is intended to warn personnel working in confined spaces of the presence of the most commonly encountered hazardous gases and combustibles. The Micro Clip is offered for rent with a calibration confirmation process being conducted before every new hire. This avoids the risk with a user’s own units being used when defective due to malfunction or the accumulation of working environment contaminants. It also avoids the expense and administration overhead of a user maintaining test gases with current certification.
Level detection in bins, silos and hoppers
06 July, 2009Siemens has added the Sitrans LVS100 to its line of vibrating point level switches for high, low or demand levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos or hoppers.
