A Chip-Based GC for Fast, Accurate Gas Detection

The C2V-200 fast micro GC (gas chromatograph) is a hand-held sized, simple-to-use gas analyzer. The unit operates with easily exchangeable column cartridges, has a low gas consumption and now features temperature programming with fast ramping. The chip-based micro GC uses…

Gas Monitoring Using HART Communications

The Permanent Gas-detection System Ultima X now features HART digital protocol, a bi-directional industrial field communication protocol used to communicate between intelligent field instruments and host systems. With the Ultima XL/XT Gas Monitors, the user has multiple calibration options: the…

This Infrared Thermometer Includes a Handy Wristband

This company’s Traceable Infrared Thermometer (photo) with a handy wristband operates simply: turn on; point at sample; and take a reading in less than a second. The unit readsboth in Farenheit and Celsius temperature scales with a temperature range of…

This Level-Measurement Device Gets a Redesign

The completely redesigned plumb bob electrochemical level-measurement system, Nivobob (photo), offers the following enhancements: increased durability, via a brushless motor; a new rope system, which extends the time between services; and a larger measurement distance (up to 40 m with…

The release of aspenONE V7 software enables process industry companies to achieve the seven best practices of engineering excellence. Building upon previous innovations from this firm, aspenONE V7 includes several new process engineering components. An integrated conceptual engineering workflow via…

This little data logger stores a lot of measurements

The MSR145 Analog (photo) is said to be the world’s first Mini-datalogger with four integrated sensors. The tiny (52-mm long; 32-g weight) device can store up to 2-million measured values from up to four analog inputs (0 – 3 V,…

Use this thickness gauge for ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters

Since even the smallest miscalculation of the pipe-wall thickness can have a major impact on a clamp-on flowmeter’s accuracy, a pipe thickness gauge needs to be extremely accurate. The Sitrans F US thickness gauge operates at a 5-MHz frequency enabling…

Flowmeters for very low flow

The mini Cori-Flow (photo, p. 40D-1) is the latest model in this firm’s series of compact Coriolis Mass Flow Meters/Controllers, and is designed for accurate measurement and control of very low flowrates. The full-scale capacity of the device has been…

The IS1 remote I/O interface now comes in a FF HSE version

A market-leading remote I/O system for Zone 1, Div. 1 applications, the IS1 (photo) has now been extended to feature its first operational communication interface for Foundation Fieldbus High Speed Ethernet (FF HSE). The system has already supported the Modbus…

A combined vortex flowmeter for steam, gas and liquids

The Sitrans FX300 vortex flowmeter series (photo) is equipped with a temperature sensor and an optional pressure sensor. Through the combination of these sensors into one unit, the vortex principle is used to measure the temperature, pressure and flow of…
