Simulate fluidized bed thermodynamics with this software

CPFD Software The Barracuda v14 simulation software (photo) offers 3-D modeling of chemical, thermal and flow dynamics in gas-solid and liquid-solid systems. The latest release includes a new chemistry module for modeling homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions inside fluidized bed…

Measure O2 where it matters most — directly in your process

Performance of oxygen measurement is now redefined with this firm’s amperometric systems. These systems not only allow reliable and stable measurement directly from the process gas stream or vessel, they are inexpensive to maintain and, what is more, do not…

This sensor can be used with many energy-harvesting systems

EH-LinkT is a wireless sensor node that can draw power from a host of energy-harvesting systems, including strain, vibration, thermal gradients, solar, electromagnetic fields and piezoelectric harvesters. The device is compatible with any analog transducer, and so can be used…

This monitor detects toxic and hazardous gases

Halogen Valve System The Jupiter gas-detection system model HVS4000 (photo) monitors and reports information about hazardous and toxic gases to Scada systems. It is a microprocessor-based instrument capable of detecting a wide range of toxic gases in ppm quantities, including…

Positioners that perform partial stroking

As part of its wide range of control valves, this firm offers a range of electro-pneumatic positioners that allow stroke tests to be performed without disrupting the process line. For example, the Type 3730-3 positioner (photo) incorporates an emergency shutdown…

This level pressure transmitter is ideal for high-purity applications

Endress+Hauser The Deltapilot FMB 70 hydrostatic, level pressure transmitter (photo) is particularly suitable for food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical applications. Its watertight pressure-measuring cell and 316L stainless-steel housing with polycarbonate sight glass withstand the harsh washdown environments needed in these…

This viscometer features microfluidics technology

The micro-VISC viscosity measurement device utilizes MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) microfluidics technology in a small, easy-to-use instrument. Viscosities from 0.2 to around 5,000 cP can be measured with repeatability within 1%, and volumes of only 100 μL are required for each…

Material Testing Made Easier with this Touch-Screen PC

Designed to make materials-testing machines easier and more efficient to operate, Touch PC combines a user-friendly touch screen with a powerful, integrated embedded industrial computer. The PC can be rotated, swiveled and tilted, raised or lowered, ensuring operator comfort and…

This NOx Sensor Boasts a Resolution of 0.1-ppb

The portable GreenLine 8000 (photo) uses a built-in chiller, heated sample line, and Low NOx sensors with 0.1 ppm resolution to ensure diligent sample conditioning and accurate Low NOx measurements. The GreenLine 8000 can incorporate up to nine gas sensors,…

This Smart Gas Transmitter Makes its Debut at ISA Expo

This firm is launching XNX, a universal gas transmitter with multi-digital communications options, and compatibility with its full range of toxic and flammable gas-sensing technologies, including catalytic bead, electrochemical and infrared. The XNX combines a universal platform transmitter with standard…
