A newly launched gas chromatography (GC) device from Analytical Pixels Technology (APIX; Grenoble, France; www.apixtechnology.com), called GCAP, uses a nanoscale silicon-beam resonator to detect mass. A piezoelectric cross-beam initiates the vibration of the nanoscale silicon resonator, and the resonance frequency…
Detection of extremely small quantities of dangerous or hazardous substances is important in many areas, including national security, safety of public utilities and radiation prevention. Several analytical methods have been developed using structural, functional and electronic properties of nanomaterials. In…
Anton Paar USA The MCR 702 rheometer features this company’s modular TwinDrive technology, and is said to be the only instrument capable of handling all rheological applications. The device has two synchronous EC (electrically commutated) motor units — one is…
Nemesis is said to be the only analyzer of its kind — the first fully portable system to test for tampering in fuel. The device provides rapid sample analysis with marker detection down to extremely low levels. Results are available…
To meet the requirements of the machinery standard EN13849-1, this company has developed the pressure transmitter Type F01. This pressure transmitter attains Performance Level (PLd), and can therefore be used for safety-relevant applications. The measuring element is a thin-film pressure…
This company has launched a new model in its series of compact Coriolis Mass Flowmeters/Controllers for accurate measurement and control of very low flowrates. With the introduction of mini Cori-Flow model M15, the maximum flow range of this product line…
The NXT+ (photo) is a new alarm module that monitors the gas pressures at the inlets of the gas mixer and in the mixing gas vessel to ensure a constant process quality. These mixers work with a high pressure-fluctuation tolerance…
The Cryocooler is a sample-holding accessory to this company’s gas-sorption analyzer, which is used to measure surface area and pore size of industrially useful porous materials and powders, and to investigate sorption capacity of state-of-the-art materials, such as carbons, zeolites,…
Temperature is among the most critical measurements in the chemical process industries (CPI) for operating safe and efficient processes. Because even a small error in temperature can lead to expensive consequences, accurate and reliable monitoring of temperature is required. Thermowells…
Whether for pumping, mixing, compression or ventilation, motors are used everywhere in the chemical process industries (CPI). Unfortunately, they are notoriously energy intensive, accounting for about 65% of the electrical consumption of a chemical production site. However, with the world,…
