Maintain steady gas pressures at trace amounts of reactive gases

The 491M-PB Module (photo) is used with 491M Modular Gas Standards Generators to maintain steady gas pressures within the unit and balance the vent backpressure to the delivery system pressure. By using a continuous flow of mixture at controlled temperature…

Measure the flow without contacting the fluid

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…

Custom calibrate these variable area flowmeters

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…

This module delivers a wide range of capabilities for temperature control

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…

This microphone measures sound based on light variations

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…

This infrared thermometer has variable configuration software

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…

Download CAD drawings for free

This company is complementing its comprehensive product database with an easy-to-use download tool for two- and three-dimensional CAD drawings. The software enables users to generate and download CAD files for sensor, fieldbus, interface and connectivity products free of charge and…

These transmitters track rotating equipment

Sensonics The DN8033 thrust and rod drop transmitter (photo) is designed to measure shaft axial or rod position of a range of rotating equipment. The 4–20-mA loop-powered module provides easy integration with either the local machine PLC or a plant-wide…

Improve communication between production and management

With the introduction of the manufacturing execution system (MES) InfoCarrier, this firm has bridged the gap between management and production, even for complex, continuous production processes. InfoCarrier is particularly suitable for manufacturing bulk products, but can also be used for…

Track air flow in larger pipes with these sensors

Hans Turck This firm’s ATEX-certified flow sensors for gaseous media are now available with probe lengths of 100, 140 and 220 mm. The new extended probes (photo) significantly enhance the sensors’ functionality by allowing users to install the sensors in…
