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…
Lloyd’s Register: New software for monitoring rotating and instrumentation equipment
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 releases EdgeWise Plan 3.0
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 releases new version of its multivariate data analysis and design of experiments software
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…
A brighter LED is a feature of this leak-detection kit
The OPK-340 Industrial Leak Detection Kit features a blue-light LED leak-detection flashlight that is 15 times brighter than standard LED lights, says the company. The super-high-intensity light is powered by a rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride battery and has a life of 50,000…
Track energy usage with these monitors
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…
Measure temperature, CO2 and humidity with this data logger
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…
This pressure switch is designed to avoid clogging
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…
A level gage for challenging storage applications
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…
Thermodynamic Analysis Of Electrolyte Systems
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…
