The VUS is a solid-state flow sensor incorporated into the SoniQ ultrasonic flow sensor (photo). The medium simply flows through a straight stainless-steel tube, and ultrasonic transducers positioned on the outer surface of the pipe measure the fluid flowrate. The…
Used to measure liquid and gas flowrates by means of a tapered tube and float, these variable area flowmeters (photo) feature individually calibrated scales and a 10:1 turndown ratio. All units are factory calibrated and marked to indicate the specific…
The VersaMax Micro Thermocouple (Type K, J, E, S, T, B or N) / Millivolt expansion module (photo) can be used in a wide range of temperature monitoring and controlling applications, as well as for weighing. There are two cost-effective…
The MO 2000 optical microphone (photo, p. 28D-4) utilizes a new type of transducer that processes acoustic signals on the basis of variations in light intensity. In the optical microphone, light from an LED is directed onto a reflective diaphragm…
Raytek CM (photo) is an integrated infrared temperature-measurement sensor with precision, high-resolution silicon optics. An RS232 digital interface allows the configuration of all programmable sensor variables via Raytek DataTemp Multidrop software. These include a 24-V-d.c. alarm output triggered by target…
