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…
By using electrothermal vaporization (ETV) for sample introduction, this company has greatly improved the sensitivity of its Arcos ICP-OES spectrometer for material-analysis applications. Trials verify that detection limits can be improved by an order of magnitude. At much lower cost,…
Four-channel analog I/O modules can be placed in a 16-mm-wide enclosure due to a new energy-saving electrical design. This results in a space savings of 50% compared to the predecessor model, says the company. The new design reduces the cost…
Pressure-relief valves are widely and effectively used in situations where the pressure in a process vessel rises to above the vessel’s design-pressure rating. Proper relief-valve sizing is critical to plant and process safety to permit fluids sufficient flow area to…
The TF44 sensor is designed for measuring the temperature on pipe surfaces. The small design of the protective sleeve enables optimized mounting of the sensors and the insulation above them, even on pipelines with a small nominal width. The thermowell…
Until now, the principle of a vibrating level switch has been limited to process conditions up to a maximum of 280°C and 100 bars. By using a new drive for the tuning fork of its Vegaswing 66, this company has…
AvaSoft 8.0 is the latest generation of this company’s spectroscopy software. This totally new application features multi-monitor displays and multiple simultaneous measurements. The Windows-based software for miniature, fiber-optic spectrometers also includes a completely redesigned, more user-friendly graphic-user interface. Users of…
This new software version includes solids modeling Aspen Technology The latest iteration of this company’s process automation software, aspenONE V8, was recently released with new functionality, including solids modeling. The integration of the solids modeling capability eliminates the “silos” that…
