Accurate machinery alignment in rough field conditions

The newly launched sensALIGN is an intelligent sensor system for machinery alignment. By incorporating the patented intelligent-sensor technology from a partner into its own platform, this company offers 100% accuracy (0% accuracy loss), guaranteed, it says. The seneALIGN unit automatically…

Monitor and control pH and temperature with this device

The TX-3000 pH/mV Transmitter monitors changes in process fluids, displaying pH or oxidation-reduction potential (ORP; measured in mV), and temperatures for more accurate process control in water, chemical, electronics, food production, environmental and wastewater applications. The line-powered TX-3000 can be…

Better accuracy offered by this level-measurement system

Based on the patented StrainCell sensor technology, the new Solo-L level-measurement system is said to improve on existing silo-level-measurement devices by eliminating problems caused by material density, angle of repose, wave reflection and dust clouds common to other technologies. The…

This display unit merges an HMI with a PLC

The Perspecto CP television merges a human-machine interface (HMI) with a programmable logic controller (PLC) in one package. Traditional configurations utilize separate PLC hardware and software, and HMI hardware and software, the company says, but the Perspecto CP is a…

Accurately monitor relative humidity with this probe

The PCMini52 relative humidity (RH) and temperature probe utilizes a thin-film capacitive sensor, which is designed for extremely fast response and long-term stability for repeatable measurements. The design provides a large capacitive response to small changes in humidity that, in…

Simulation for the Masses

While almost all chemical processors employ simulation software during the early design stages of new plants or new lines, simulation vendors say best-in-class facilities take the powerful tools further and use them for improving operations and profitability. And, across the…

Managing Pressure while Pigging an Oil Pipeline

How to utilize a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) in a crude-oil pipeline that requires a pressure control valve can be a bewildering question for process engineers, especially in cases where the oil pipeline does not have any pig-launcher and receiver…

Batch Control: Controller- Versus Server-Based Sequencers

When designing a batch system, engineers often select the control solution based on the size of the system. It is traditionally thought that small batch systems require a controller-based sequencing solution, while larger systems require a server-based solution. However, despite…

Check product color with this handheld device

The RM200QC colorimeter is a handheld device for recording and communicating color differences of textiles, coatings, chemicals, plastic molding and other products with laboratory reference standards. The device then creates reports that can be shared with supply-chain partners. The device…

Accurate custody transfers assured with this flowmeter

The compact Flowsic500 ultrasonic gas meter is specially designed for custody transfer natural-gas flow readings, allowing highly precise calculations. Its compact design does not take up much space and inlets and outlets do not have to be straight. The actual…
