The Sensitive Side of Chemical Processing

As in almost all other aspects of producing chemicals, processors are looking for cost-effective sensing solutions. And they won’t be disappointed by the newest offering of sensors for the chemical process industries (CPI). Gas and pH sensors, as well as…

An oxygen sensor that can tell when calibration is required

The Model 6888 oxygen sensor monitors oxygen remaining in fluegas from combustion processes using boilers, incinerators, industrial furnaces, kilns and process heaters. Since the calibration frequency of an oxygen sensor is highly application-dependent, the electronics of the unit provide an…

This metal analyzer now performs more measurements than alternatives

The newest generation of SpectroTest mobile metal analyzers is equipped with an efficient plasma generator and a newly designed ultraviolet probe. The analyzers also feature, and the field-proven Intelligent Calibration Logic (Ical) system, which monitors the correct state of the…

A table for characterizing drops on surfaces

With the aid of the tilting table PA4240/PA3240 for the contact angle measuring systems DSA30 and DSA100, users can evaluate a liquid drop’s ability to stick or roll off of a surface. The arrangement allows measurement of the roll-off angle…

An adapter system suited for sterile processes

This company has developed an adapter system for measuring instruments with hygienic connections, which meet the stringent requirements of sterile processes. The adapter consists of a pressure gage or transmitter with a mounted adapter and is certified to 3-A Sanitary…

A flowmeter with built-in computer and temperature sensor

The new VLM10 inline vortex flowmeter for mass, volumetric and energy-flow measurement on steam, liquid and gas applications is available in sizes 1 to 12 in. The device combines an inline vortex meter, a built-in flow computer and an integral…

This chromatography system does the job of two different ones

The 1260 Infinity Hybrid SFC/UHPLC system is said to be the first commercial instrument that performs both supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). This enables intelligent screening for the most suitable method of separation and delivers…

Many parameters are handled by a single transmitter

The new Signet 9900 SmartPro Transmitter features multi-parameter capabilities, flexible modularity and an auto-sensing, backlit display with “at-a-glance” visibility, even in dark conditions. The transmitter provides a single-channel interface for any different parameters, including flow, pH/ORP, conductivity/resistivity, pressure, temperature, level,…

Monitor reactions in the laboratory and production with this IR device

Next-generation ReactIR 45P technology allows reaction scaleup to be studied under actual process conditions. Designed to operate in the laboratory as well as in classified areas, ReactIR 45P uses in situ monitoring to study the formation and consumption of starting…
