Interface detection and control
28 August, 2009 byThe Fluid Components FlexSwitch FLT93S flow/level/temperature switch can be used in separation tanks and other vessels with mixed density media for accurate interface detection and control.
Process viscosity control
28 August, 2009 byThe Brookfield Model AST100 inline viscometer is a sensitive, versatile instrument that measures process fluid viscosity in a fully flooded product stream under pressure or vacuum. The viscometers are unaffected by changes in pressure or laminar flow.
Online moisture analysis for confectioner
28 August, 2009 byCallidan Instruments has been approached by a Dunedin-based confectionery company interested in trialling the MoistScan MA-700 in-pipe moisture analyser.
Oxygen monitoring
28 August, 2009 byThe Applied Analytics TDL-506 oxygen monitoring system uses surface-emitting laser technology to produce accurate, fast and stable oxygen measurements in even the most volatile process streams.
Retractable sensor fitting
28 August, 2009 byYokogawa has developed a retractable sensor fitting that offers a flexible approach to online liquid analytical measurements in a wide range of process industries.
Digital logging pressure gauge
28 August, 2009 byTechRentals has introduced the Crystal XP2i Digital Logging Pressure Gauge into its rental fleet.
Non-contact infrared temperature sensor
28 August, 2009 byThe PyroCouple series non-contact infrared temperature sensors can be used to measure the temperature of inaccessible or moving objects and materials. They can measure temperatures from -20 to 500 °C accurately and consistently, with a response time of 240 ms.
Sensors for food and beverages
15 July, 2009 byMTS Systems’ Temposonics R-Series linear-position sensors Level-Plus M-Series transmitters are suitable for incorporation into automation and control applications in the food and beverage industry due to high reliability, accuracy and compatibility with smart sensor networks such as DeviceNet.
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.
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.
Hygienic optical sensor system
06 July, 2009 byThe Wenglor InoxSens range of optical sensors provides a selection of hygienic sensors for the food and beverage and pharmaceuticals industries.
Pump control unit
06 July, 2009 byPiab’s CU function module control unit is available for the vacuum pumps P3010 and P6010 with COAX technology.
Wireless temperature monitoring
06 July, 2009 byEmerson Process Management Australia has expanded its Smart Wireless solutions with the introduction of its Rosemount 848T wireless temperature transmitter for high-density temperature measurement. 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.
