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…
The MXL (photo) is this company’s latest addition to its family of loop-powered indicators operating from a 4–20-mA d.c. input. This model incorporates the LCD from the company’s EJX pressure transmitter into a NEMA 4X aluminum housing. The MXL currently…
Lloyd’s Register (London, U.K.; www.lr.org) says it has designed industry’s first reliability-based mechanical integrity (RBMI) software designed to address the maintenance needs of rotating and instrumentation equipment. The new modules integrate with the components of Capstone RBMI, allowing companies to…
ClearEdge3D (Herndon, Va.; www.clearedge3d.com) today released EdgeWise Plant 3.0, with six major new features to optimize and accelerate 3D-modeling workflows. The software automates the extraction of complex CAD pipe geometry from 3D laser-scanned data, dramatically reducing time to create accurate as-built…
CAMO Software (Oslo, Norway; www.camo.com) has launched a new version of its all-in-one multivariate data analysis (MVA) and design-of-experiments (DoE) software, The Unscrambler X. The new version has greatly improved performance and is optimized for even better usability, security and…
With these two energy-use monitors, companies can gain insight into how, when and where energy is being expended throughout a production process. The PowerMonitor W 250 (photo) features a self-generating wireless communications platform that is ideally suited to applications located…
The TR-76Ui is a three-channel data logger designed to simultaneously measure and record CO2 concentration, temperature and humidity. Users can set atmospheric pressures for each measurement location, allowing more stable and accurate CO2 readings. The unit can measure CO2 levels…
To serve industrial processes with “critical” media, this company has expanded its range of electronic pressure switches with the addition of the PSD-31 with flush diaphragm (photo). This device is particularly suited for applications in abrasive, aggressive, adhesive, crystalline and…
The 3DLevelScanner HE is designed for use in storage silos containing challenging materials, such as clinker, alumina and flyash. This new model of the scanner has an operating temperature range of up to 250°F, to accommodate higher temperatures that may…
Thermodynamics cannot yield any information about the intermediate states of a given reacting system. These intermediate states are the subject matter of chemical kinetics, which studies reaction rates and mechanisms. Chemical kinetics will predict what chemicals are present while thermodynamics…
