The ST100 Series is the first thermal mass flowmeter to meet new Foundation Fieldbus (FF) H1 standards. Besides FF H1, the flowmeter can quickly be configured to other protocols, including Profibus PA and Modbus, thanks to a plug-in bus communication…
This company has attained CSA approval for the use of its mass flowmeters, mass-flow controllers and pressure equipment in Class 1 Div. 2 hazardous environments. With this rating, the devices are now even easier to integrate into a wide range…
A new icon-based interface is now available for this company’s 475 Field Communicator (photo) that simplifies the work of field maintenance technicians. The interface features graphical menus that are easy to use and understand, and Device Dashboards that provide a…
Introduced last month, the Rosemount 2051 pressure transmitter (photo, p. 24I-8) is the latest addition to this companys device portfolio that supports Profibus PA profile V3.02. Other devices in the Profibus portfolio include the 2051 pressure transmitter and the Rosemount…
Thanks to its response speed (88 ms) and accuracy (0.3%), the Sitrans P500 pressure transmitter is able to respond quickly and precisely to process changes. An additional sensor for static pressure compensates for measuring inaccuracies and makes this measured value…
The new high-performance, handheld OS1327D series of infrared thermometer is a non contact temperature measurement instrument. It features adjustable emissivity, laser sighting, backlit LCD, 12:1 field of view, maximim/minimum/average/difference temperature monitoring, high/low audible alarms, temperature and storage data. This product…
Endress+Hauser (Reinach, Switzerland; www.us.endress.com) has opened a new production facility in Greenwood, Indiana. The 12,000-ft2 manufacturing plant will build temperature sensors, thermowells, transmitters, recorders, flow computers, safety barriers, displays and other instrumentation to meet the increasing demand for this instrumentation…
One of the most important measurements in the chemical process industries (CPI) is rate of flow. Flowrates can be important to measure, and in fact can be critical to measure, throughout a process — from dosing components into a reactor…
As engineers in the chemical process industries (CPI) are pressed harder to meet deadlines in the workplace, the amount of information available to them in their field is growing at an exponential pace. To address the situation, chemistry- and engineering-oriented…
A common practice in the chemical process industries (CPI) is to implement so-called value- maximization projects (VMP) to increase production or reduce production costs in order to increase profit margins. With such projects, one main objective of the design team…
