Use this network interface for fast transfer of time-critical information

Hardy Instruments The HI 4050 (photo), a general-purpose weight controller used in vessel-weighing, force-measurement, filling, level-by-weight, and batching/blending applications, is now available with a ControlNet network interface. The new interface allows rapid transfer of time-critical information at rates of 5…

A wireless adapter allows access to HART data

The wireless THUM adapter helps users see diagnostics and process information that had been inaccessible with wired legacy HART (highway addressable remote transducer) protocol instruments. Upgrading devices with the THUM adapter can avoid the expense and complexity of accessing HART…

This gas sensor can now be calibrated remotely

General Monitors Calibrating the Model S4000CH Combustible Gas Detector with a remotely installed sensor is now easier than ever with the new Automatic Remote Gas Calibrator (ARGC; photo). The ARGC, which consists of a Remote Gas Calibrator and a solenoid…

Simultaneously detect five elements with this flame photometer

BWB Technologies The XP Flame Photometer (photo) detects and displays concentrations of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium and barium simultaneously in liquid samples. The instrument measures characteristic wavelength emissions for the five elements and calculates concentration based on emission intensity. The…

Measuring density online allows the control system to react faster

The Liquiphant M is a density meter that provides online measurements, thus eliminating the need for extensive and expensive offline procedures and laboratory measurements. A built-in density calculator can be customized with complex tables and mathematical relations, enabling the meter…

These sensors have built-in transmitters that can communicate with digital and analog interfaces

ARC sensors feature a built-in microprocessor that can communicate with both analog and digital interfaces. The sensors are designed to measure pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity. The built-in transmitter saves cost by eliminating the need for separate transmitters, and the…

Perform all types of x-ray analysis at your desk

The D2 Phaser with XFlash detector is said to be the first desk-top instrument offering angle-dispersive and energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction as well as x-ray fluorescence measurements under ambient conditions. Based on Silicon Drift technology, the XFlash detector features energy resolution…

Measure molecular interactions with this system

Metrohm USA The Autolab Twingle (photo) is a dual-channel surface-plasmon resonance system that allows users to perform high-accuracy measurements of molecular and kinetic interactions. The versatile, double-channel system can make simultaneous electrochemical measurements and is an ideal sensor for a…

Improve rheological analysis with this FTIR module

Launched at the K-Show last month, Rheonaut is a compact Fourier transform, infrared (FTIR) module for this firm’s rheometer platform. When used with the Haake Mars rheometer platform, the module helps users understand the causes of rheological properties on a…

Generate less waste with this mercury sensor

JM Science The Aquacounter HG-400 low-cost mercury analyzer (photo) requires small sample sizes and minimal reagents, so it generates a small volume of waste in sampling. Its detection limit is 0.5 ppt at sample volumes of 5 mL, and 5…
