The MR (magnetic resonance) Moisture Analyzer is capable of measuring the moisture content of virtually any bulk material, such as wood-based samples (whole-tree chips, forest residue chips, peat), annual fibers (straw, grains, willow), minerals, foodstuffs and sludge. Measurements can be…
The new BSTW II family of mechanical controllers and limiters for electric trace heating has system approval for hazardous (potentially explosive) areas (94/9/EC), which covers the self-limiting heating cables as well. The current capacity of the BSTW II family has…
The 12.5-mm wide KC Series Signal Conditioners — said to be the most compact signal conditioners available today — are now available with spring terminals to simplify and speed installation. In addition to their slim footprint, KC modules consume minimal…
Vega Grieshaber KG Reliable switching down to –196°C The Vegaswing 66 vibrating level switch is said to be the first of a kind for extreme temperatures. Especially suitable for cryogenic liquids, the device switches reliably in process temperatures from –196…
The Alcor JFTOT 230 Mark IV (JFTOT IV) is a new jet-fuel thermal oxidation analyzer designed for increased safety and simplicity. New safety measures in this compact model ensure minimal jet-fuel vapor-exposure to personnel and the environment through the sample…
The improved PowderVision sampling system (photo) makes it possible to measure moisture in powders, granulates and flakes flowing within enclosed ducts or gravity-fed conveying systems. Designed to work with the company’s NDC 710e NIR (near infrared) Moisture or Multicomponent Gauge,…
Thanks to its new automated probe-end tracking function, the VegaFlex 82 radar sensor measures the level of bulk solids even with a low dielectric constant of 1.1 and higher with unprecedented reliability, says the company. When there is an increasingly…
The new three-phase 750-49x Power Measurement Modules provide voltage, current and many other measurement parameters, allowing for comprehensive grid analysis. The modules within the fieldbus-independent I/O System 750 transmit metrics (for instance reactive/apparent/effective power, energy consumption, power factor, phase angle,…
