Detecting sub-50-nm particles in ultrapure water

A new particle-size measurement technique has been developed and used to evaluate filter retention efficiency for particles with an average diameter of 12 nm by C.T. Associates Inc. (Eden Prairie, Minn.; www.ctassociatesinc.com) and W.L. Gore and Associates (Newark, Del.; www.gore.com).…

Focus on Temperature Measurement & Control

This pH probe has an integrated temperature sensor Yokogawa The new SC25V (photo) is a reliable, very stable and highly accurate 12-mm pH sensor that uses a VP-type connector to integrate multiple measuring elements in a single package, including a…

This oxygen analyzer is compact and accurate

The XTP601 is a new, compact oxygen analyzer for applications in the process, power-generation and marine industries. The device uses thermo-paramagnetic sensor technology to provide stable percentage measurements of oxygen in process gases, including hydrogen, nitrogen and air. It can…

Measure moisture in natural gas lines with this system

The Hygrophil F (photo) uses a patented Fabry-Perot interferometer principle to measure trace moisture in natural gas. The sensor element of the moisture sensor type L1661 is made of a multiple layers of optically high-reflective and low refractive materials. Pores…

Measure chlorine and temperature with this sensor

The Kapta 2000-AC2 (photo) is a new in-line chlorine sensor for municipal and industrial applications. This new addition to the Kapta amperometric probes is based on microchip technology that enables multiparameter sensors to be fitted within one probe head. The…

A flowmeter for large process lines

The AXW is a new, larger addition to the Admag series of magnetic flowmeters. The AXW series is suitable for industrial process lines, water and other basic applications. Sizes are available from 500 to 1,000 mm with a wide liner…

A helium leak detector without using a mass spectrometer

With the MiniTest 300, this company introduces the first vacuum leak detector that uses a quartz window sensor instead of the conventional mass-spectrometer detector. The MiniTest 300 operates at a working pressure of up to 200 mbar, without requiring additional…

Space-saving I/O modules with fast maintenance functions

The new four-channel universal I/O module LB104A for Zone 2 can be placed in a 16-mm wide enclosure due to a new energy-saving electrical design. This is a space saving of 50% compared to the predecessor model. Thus, costs-per-channel can…

A pressure calibrator you can hold in your hand

Extending its line of hand-held measurements, this company has added the model CPH6510 intrinsically safe pressure calibrator (photo). With an accuracy of 0.025% of span and various additional functions, the new device is suitable for a wide range of applications,…
