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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
This company has attained CCSAUS certification for its XTP601 Oxygen Analyzer, making it approved for use in hazardous areas in the U.S. and Canada. The instrument already carries certification from ATEX and IEC Ex. The XTP601 uses thermo-paramagnetic measurement technology…
Launched last month, the CL420 Clamp-on Process Meter measures 0–120-mA d.c. process-control signals without breaking the loop. Typical applications include distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, pressure and temperature transmitters and loop-powered isolators and indicators. The device offers a 0.2%…
