New piping software slashes time for modeling workflows

With the new release, EdgeWise MEP for Autodesk Revit, users can now, for the first time, bring extracted pipes, conduits and other cylindrical mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) elements directly into Revit. This new MEP software leverages the powerful feature-extraction…

Let this company collect and analyze machinery vibration data

This condition-monitoring specialist company has introduced a vibration data collection-and-analysis service for industrial plant operators that aims to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. Where no fixed machine condition-monitoring system is available (or is impractical) for critical plant, this company recommends…

No membranes required for this dissolved oxygen sensor

The new 2610 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor utilizes optical technology to measure dissolved oxygen with high repeatability and accuracy while reducing maintenance and energy costs, says the company. This device eliminates the need for replacement membranes and reference solutions associated…

New features offered in this latest CFD software

Last month saw the release of V15.18, the latest version of Gridgen software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh generation. Gridgen V15.18 is said to increase the recovery of prism cells from the layers of extruded tetrahedra in the boundary…

Software simulates vibrations to keep machinery healthy

In order to detect unexpected torsional and lateral vibrations in mechanical drive systems, computer simulation is crucial to determine the dynamic behavior of rotating machinery. This company offers a new, revised software package to simulate both torsional and lateral vibrations…

This wireless vibration transmitter now has ATEX approval

With ATEX Zone 0 and Class I, Div. 1 ratings, the CSI 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter can now be installed directly in hazardous areas, such as chemical, petrochemical and offshore facilities, as well as other explosion-classified environments. The safety ratings,…

This analyzer optimizes biogas yields, minimizes H2S formation

Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Awi-Flex multifunctional biogas analyzer is supplied with a small air compressor that regulates air injection into the digester (above the sludge level) to between 0.5 and 1 vol.% for breaking down H2S into elemental…

Level control is simplified with non-steady-state tuning

This company’s software now includes non-steady-state (NSS) modeling features for integrating control loops. These tools are said to provide fast, simple modeling and tuning of level controls. Unlike temperature, pressure and flow, level controls have different dynamics, and these new…

A retractable assembly for sterile pH measurements

  The Cleanfit CPA875 pH retractable assembly provides reliable protection against bacterial contamination of processes, thus making it suitable for safe, automated pH measurement in sterile processes. The Cleanfit assembly is made of 1.4435/316L stainless steel with smooth, electropolished surfaces…

Inline control of cleaner concentration and rinsing baths

The inline analyzer, Liquisonic can be used for the reliable and economical operation of processes for cleaning surfaces. The sensor of the system continuously measures the cleaner concentration directly in the process, thereby ensuring that the values will not exceed…
