New tools included in this flowsheet simulator

HSC Chemistry 7.0 is process flowsheet simulation software that has four distinct modes — particles, reaction, distribution and experimental. The latest version of the software has added drawing features, new spreadsheet features and routines for mass balancing and data reconciliation.…

These flow transmitters have a new look and enhanced features

The stainless-steel housing in the design and their removable displays with backlighting are the most obvious changes to the new Element Series of digital flow transmitters. However, the redesigned housing also conceals numerous technical improvements as a result of re-engineering.…

This calibrator handles both analog and digital instruments

Fluke The 5080A multi-product calibrator (photo) handles both analog and digital test instruments. Its high voltage and current compliance allows the 5080A to calibrate accurately and economically. The instrument is said to be easy to use and works with analog…

A handheld photometer for the control of plastics color

X-Rite Europe The MA94, 96 and 98 multi-angle spectrophotometers can help manufacturers monitor and maintain precise control of the color of plastics they blend into their process. The MA94 and 96 (photo) are next generation, improved versions of the company’s…

Temperature control keeps these field spectrometers steady

Ocean Optics The SteadiQ field-portable spectrometer (photo) provides a temperature-controlled atmosphere, helping to stabilize temperature effects and eliminate temperature drift in inclement conditions or extreme temperatures from –20 to 50°C. Available in both ultraviolet (200–1,100 nm) and visible-near infrared (400–2,500…

Expanding ISO/IEC accreditation of flow calibration facilities

    Emerson Process Management   This firm has completed a global network of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services. The network makes available accredited calibrations from the Coriolis production calibration facilities at centers in Boulder, Colo., Ede, the Netherlands, and…

Cross-correlate UV and IR data with this technology

The Model IPS-4 full-spectrum analyzer performs online measurements of component concentration in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum using diode-array detection, and simultaneously in the infrared (IR) spectrum using single-beam, multi-wavelength technology. The measurements are then cross-correlated and further verified to avoid…

Material Testing Made Easier with this Touch-Screen PC

Designed to make materials-testing machines easier and more efficient to operate, Touch PC combines a user-friendly touch screen with a powerful, integrated embedded industrial computer. The PC can be rotated, swiveled and tilted, raised or lowered, ensuring operator comfort and…

This NOx Sensor Boasts a Resolution of 0.1-ppb

The portable GreenLine 8000 (photo) uses a built-in chiller, heated sample line, and Low NOx sensors with 0.1 ppm resolution to ensure diligent sample conditioning and accurate Low NOx measurements. The GreenLine 8000 can incorporate up to nine gas sensors,…

Length-and-Speed Measurement Device Becomes Enhanced

The LaserSpeed 4000-3 non-contact length-and-speed measurement gauge uses laser Doppler velocimetry to accurately measure the length and speed of any moving product or surface to an accuracy of ±0.05%, or better. The new LS4000-3 adds Ethernet communication and configurable I/O,…
