ABB Instrumentation (Warminster, Pa.; www.abb.com/instrumentation) has cut the cost of installing orifice-plate flowmeters by up to half with the launch of its OriMaster compact orifice DP flowmeter. The latest in the company’s FlowMaster range, the OriMaster comes fully factory configured…
Despite various studies and process automation supplier suggestions that wireless sensing technologies cost less and provide tighter control than their wired counterparts, chemical processors are still proceeding with caution when it comes to implementing wireless instrumentation. Wireless supporters hope the…
With the new Fluxus F601 ultrasonic flowmeter, a reliable flow measurement can be obtained in a few minutes. No zeroing procedure is necessary since calibration data and transducer parameters are saved in a transducer internal memory and automatically sent to…
The new goVisc 500 is a compact, high-performance precision viscometer with realtime viscosity outputs. It can be used in any laboratory-scale application for continuous viscosity measurement, and it is especially suitable for automated applications. The hygienic sensor is an all-welded…
For safe operation of a flange joint, it is important to consider a number of parameters that have an impact on the bolts, gasket and flanges. The relatively large number of mathematical operations and the need for managing a large…
Nivobob is a re-engineered model of this firm’s popular plumb-bob range of level measurement technology. Among the enhancements offered are: increased durability via a brushless motor; a new rope system, which extends the time between servicing; and a larger measurement…
This company’s range of zirconia oxygen analyzers measure oxygen, from % to ppm levels. The accompanying software allows the user to view readings, set output and perform calibration remotely via a fully bi-directional RS-232 port. The Z1030 is a panel…
Using dynamic light scattering, the BioDLS allows automatic particle sizing using industry-standard well plates. The BioDLS measures proteins, peptides, micelles and other nanoparticles in a highly efficient, high-throughput manner useful for the pharmaceutical industry. Up to 768 samples can be…
Max-Trak Model 180 Industrial Mass Flowmeters and Controllers are now available with 316-stainless-steel (ANSI or DIN) flange mounting for gas flowrates up to 1,000 L/min with pipe sizes up to 1 in. The major design enhancement of Model 180 is…
The new Avabench-75-ULS optical bench for the AvaSpeck family of fiber-optic spectrometers has a dual, internal modestripper along with multiple compound-parabolic concentrators to further reduce stray-light levels to less than 0.04% The new optical-bench design also features much higher rigidity,…
