Pressure measurement considerations

Pressure measurement in the chemical process industries (CPI) is crucial to many unit operations, and selecting the most effective pressure sensors for a given situation can be complicated by a range of factors. An initial key to selection is establishing…

A pressure gage with high vibration resistance

Designed for monitoring both vacuum and positive system pressure, the PBG Series of pressure gages from this company are liquid-filled for increased vibration resistance. The gages also feature a crimped, tamper-resistant ring that provides a permanent seal between the gage…

Humidity will not hamper the electronics of this RH sensor

Michell Instruments Many relative humidity (RH) instruments installed in high-humidity applications suffer from poor reliability because the electronics are exposed to the harsh, damp environment. The miniature PCmini52 probe overcomes this problem with electronics that are encapsulated in a protective…

Pressure transducers that are tight without a seal

Afriso-Euro-Index The new series DMU 02 pressure transducers (photo) are based on a polysilicon thin-film measuring cell, which combines all the positive attributes of conventional sensors, such as high output signal, dynamic behavior and long-term stability. The unit is also…

Control up to 32 valves with this I/O module

Hans Turck In cooperation with Parker Hannifin, this firm has developed a valve adapter for its BL67 I/O system as well as the valve series Isys Micro and Isys ISO from Parker. With the new modules, up to 32 valves…

This system converts a PC into an IR temperature device

Omega Engineering The new IR-USB series of infrared (IR) temperature sensors (photo) provides a reliable and economical method for most PC-based, non-contact temperature monitoring. The unit features an IR sensor/signal-conditioner installed with a direct USB connection and free software that…

Measure surface profiles wirelessly with this laser-based system

Prüftechnik Alignment Systems Launched at the Hanover Exhibition last month, the Levalign expert features a horizontal and vertical self-leveling spinning laser with 200-m measurement range in conjunction with a 70-mm detector range sensor to ensure quick, one-man operation for wide-ranging…

Perform realtime analysis with this NIR analyzer

Thermo Fisher Scientific The new TruProcess analyzer is this firm’s next-generation near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer for realtime blend analysis, drying and other process analytical technology (PAT) applications. The analyzer includes micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) technology that transforms traditional NIR spectroscopy into…

Pressure control regulators are available worldwide

Swagelok The RHPS series high-flow pressure-reducing and backpressure regulators are now available globally from this company, which acquired RHPS B.V. in April 2010. These regulators are constructed of 316L stainless steel for line sizes up to 4 in. Key products…
