Accurate RH & temperature measurement in harsh environments

To best meet specific application needs, the DT722 relative humidity (RH) and temperature transmitter is available in digital (DT722) and analog (DT722-X18) models. The digital version gives high performance measurement with “excellent” RH accuracy and delivers reliable, consistent and accurate…

Three new digital displays for your measured values

The Afriso DA 10, 12 and 14 digital display units are suitable for displaying measured values and evaluating and controlling standard signals (4–20 mA, 0–1 and 0–10 V) from electronic transducers, especially in level applications. The connected transducer is supplied…

Increasing the sensitivity of trace-element analysis

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,…

Compact remote I/Os save space and the cost per channel

 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…

Sizing Calculations for Pressure-Relief Valves

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…

A temperature sensor designed for pipe surfaces

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…

This vibrating level switch handles extreme conditions

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…
