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…
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…
Davis Instruments The Fluke 190 Series II is a digital handheld oscilloscope that is designed for challenging environments. Dustproof, drip-proof and impact-resistant, the 190 Series can measure input, output and feedback signals simultaneously to diagnose industrial electronics problems in variable-speed…
All good things come to an end. And so it is with Microsoft extended support and security updates for Windows 2000,which ended in July 2010. Any manufacturer with industrial applications that are based on Windows 2000 may wisely be considering…
Storing solid materials in hoppers, bins and silos is ubiquitous in the chemical process industries (CPI), as are challenges associated with dispensing them. In many cases, using vessels with steep cones and smooth walls is enough to provide reliable flow.…
The Type 226A and 228A Baratron Differential Capacitance Manometers (photo) provide accurate and repeatable differential pressure and vacuum readings from 0.027 to 133 kPa at ambient temperature. The direct linear signals are accurate for very small pressure drops and flow…
The 2020ComboPRO (photo) is a photoionization detector for monitoring VOCs combined with an optional pre-filter tube for benzene measurement capability. Its display provides simultaneous measurements of realtime, peak, time-weighted average and short-term exposure level readings. With a substantial measurement range…
With the Softnet PN-IO Linux software controller, it is possible to control distributed field devices via Profinet with standard PC hardware, such as the Simatic Microbox PC. The computer functions as a PN I/O controller. Up to 64 I/O devices…
Touting accuracy to ±2% of a set-point, with a 0.5-s response time and 1% repeatability, the NuTec FS2000H Flow Switch performs equally well in clean or dirty media and is unaffected by entrained particles or bubbles. With the standard inclusion…
The Atlas Calorimetry System has been recently introduced for performing heat-flow and power-compensatory calorimetry measurements. The system can generate power and enthalpy graphs at the click of a button. This, combined with the simple configuration of reaction temperatures, dosing quantities…
